Background Among chronic diseases, cognitive, neurological, and cardiovascular impairments are becoming increasingly prevalent, generating a shift in health social needs. Technology can create an ecosystem of care integrated with microtools based on biosensors for motion, location, voice, expression detection that help people diseases. A technological system capable identifying symptoms, signs, or behavioral patterns could provide notification the development complications disease. This would self-care patients disease save costs, promoting autonomy empowerment their caregivers, improving quality life (QoL), providing professionals monitoring tools. Objective The main objective this study is to evaluate effectiveness (the TeNDER system) improve diseases: Alzheimer disease, Parkinson Methods multicenter, randomized, parallel-group clinical trial will be conducted follow-up 2 months. scope primary centers Community Madrid belonging Spanish public system. population diagnosed disease; caregivers; professionals. sample size 534 (380 intervention group). consist use monitor by means biosensors, data into app. With information provided, generate reports consulted patients, Sociodemographic variables affinity measured, as views usability satisfaction dependent variable mean difference QoL score between control groups at To explanatory linear regression model constructed. All analyses performed 95% CI robust estimators. Results Ethics approval project was received September 11, 2019. registered August 14, 2020. Recruitment commenced April 2021, expected results available during 2023 2024. Conclusions among highly prevalent illnesses most involved more realistic view situation experienced long-term illness support networks. continuous needs target feedback its from users: Trial Registration ClinicalTrials.gov NCT05681065; https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT05681065 International Registered Report Identifier (IRRID) DERR1-10.2196/47331
