MADRID, 20 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Iker Casillas Foundation, the Real Madrid Foundation and IDOVEN have come together to bring digital cardiology closer to vulnerable groups and to be able to perform cardiological analyzes on 800 boys and girls from the foundation of the Madrid group.
The Iker Casillas Foundation and the Real Madrid Foundation have chosen IDOVEN for this initiative, a Spanish startup that was born to help prevent heart diseases such as sudden death and that performs remote heart studies through its cloud platform of Artificial Intelligence.
This project is part of the #DonaTusLatidos movement, which it has received from the entity that leads the exporter, with the aim of contributing to the investigation and prevention of heart disease in the most vulnerable groups.
Now, thanks to this agreement, almost a thousand minors belonging to vulnerable groups, with and without risk of exclusion, will be able to benefit from this new digital health care. The beneficiaries of this sports cardiac study will belong to
Inclusive and adapted soccer or basketball schools, made up of boys and girls with a higher incidence of heart conditions, such as Down syndrome or General Developmental Disorders if they associate heart disease.
After monitoring the heart with a new and simple IDOVEN cardiac holter monitor, the heartbeats of the 800 children will be analyzed thanks to its cloud platform, based on artificial intelligence, and with the collaboration of the company’s team of cardiology specialists .
The beneficiaries will obtain a medical evaluation of the activity of their heart and with their beat they will contribute to the investigation and
heart disease prevention.
“For both my Foundation and the Real Madrid Foundation, this is an important project and we hope that the initiative will be received by families with the same enthusiasm that we have at both foundations and at IDOVEN. Our only objective is to improve the lives of the smaller “, highlighted Casillas during the presentation this Wednesday of the project.
The former goalkeeper, who suffered a heart problem in 2019 when training with Porto, warned that “we must make the whole society aware of the importance of regular heart checks.”
“If also, thanks to this collaboration, vulnerable groups and young people with a high risk of heart disease benefit, I think we will be helping families that need it,” Casillas said.
For his part, Dr. Manuel Marina Breysse, CEO of the ‘startup’, believes that with this collaboration they will be able to monitor “telematically the hearts of young people from the Real Madrid Foundation’s social sports schools in Spain for free”. “It is a great opportunity for families, but also to help advance medical-scientific research and prevention of what is today the leading cause of death in the world,” he added.
