“The solution provider that builds the device and creates the algorithm should consider integration and accountability among multiple other challenges. But meeting the needs of the third element in the equation, the doctors, is key.”
There are several challenges and opportunities on the road to a truly connected, hospital to home healthcare system. Stuart Long, CEO of InfoBionics, discusses new innovations as well as what’s needed to move connected care and remote patient monitoring to the next level of adoption.
Remote care in the home relies both on the quality of patient monitoring and on the insights provided to the care team. There is a real danger that data overload and alert fatigue will undermine otherwise well-designed remote patient monitoring (RPM) and Hospital at Home programs. The software platform and algorithms tasked with integrating and evaluating data must identify the data that matters, when it matters.
Next-generation, predictive analytic patient monitoring lowers healthcare costs, improves clinical outcomes and enhances the patient experience in hospital-at-home, post-acute care and chronic care management.
John Mastrototaro, Ph.D., biomedical engineer and CEO of Movano discusses strategies to improve data accuracy, the convergence of consumer wearables and medical remote monitoring devices and what healthcare providers are seeking in remote data delivery.
Inaccurate data entry, discomfort and privacy concerns are among the issues that developers and designers must address to realize the promise of medical wearables.
A review of the top six reasons there has been a dramatic increase in the adoption of remote care among seniors.
Patient-administered healthcare is one of the fastest-growing segments in the medtech industry. When the patient becomes the operator, usability requirements are vastly different than those of trained clinicians, which elevates considerations in the design process.
Building fruitful development partnerships between companies, governments and researchers will enable the most promising and impactful deployments in healthcare.
The pandemic caused a significant increase in telehealth and health tech adoption among all consumers and care professionals, especially those for older consumers and caretakers.
