How wearables and sensors help to support patients at home
Abstract:
This talk will describe how wearables and sensors are involved in the context of remote home care. Monitoring of Pre/post Surgery for patients or monitoring of multi condition chronic patients like patient with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD), diabetes, cancer, high blood pressure, and many others are important for success of home care . Patients often face challenges at home which can lead to unexpected and avoidable re-admission to clinic. The ability to offer remote support from the health care professionals and caregivers is essential but information sharing is required to take the proper actions. Cloud computing, AI, and IOT play an important role into the success of remote care.
