Here, we carry out a review of the literature focused on telemedicine projects developed in the field of heart failure. We will particularly detail the remote monitoring project called E-care, dedicated to automated, intelligent detection of situations at risk of heart failure. Prospects for the development of the E-care system in the field of geriatry will also be discussed. Results: Numerous telemedicine projects, based on connected objects or technology sciences of information and communication, have emerged in the last five years or are under development in the field of computer science’heart failure. This is the case of the E-care telemonitoring project, which fits perfectly within the framework of telemedicine 2.0 projects. Their potential contribution in terms of mortality or morbidity, in number of hospitalizations avoided is currently under study or documentation. Their impact in terms of health economics is also being validated, knowing that the oldest telemedicine projects had already validated the economic and social benefits brought by telemedicine solutions.
