Research
A patient monitoring procedure, named Early Warning Score, is in-use in hospitals for the prevention of most sudden deterioration and has been proven to reduce the risk of consequential death or disability by 75%. The aim of this research is to implement the same life-saving technique for chronic in-home patients which requires performing the same in-hospital medical measurements via a wearable device worn by in-home patients during their daily activities. Out of the hospital, the main challenges are the management of the resources and the accuracy of the measurements. A certain level of intelligence, self-awareness, and context-awareness is required in a remote patient monitoring system to maximize the continuity of the monitoring and deal with such challenges. This research is based on an IoT technology that enables biomedical and context sensing in the sensor layer, local processing and notifications in the fog layer, and data storage, processing, and artificial intelligence in the cloud layer.
