Abstract Background Vital signs are usually recorded once every 8 h in patients at the hospital ward. Early of deterioration may therefore be missed. Wireless sensors have been developed that capture patient earlier. The objective this study was to determine whether two wearable patch (SensiumVitals [Sensium Healthcare Ltd., United Kingdom] and HealthPatch [VitalConnect, USA]), a bed-based system (EarlySense [EarlySense Israel]), patient-worn monitor (Masimo Radius-7 [Masimo Corporation,...
Intermittent vital signs measurements are the current standard on hospital wards, typically recorded once every 8 hours. Early of deterioration may therefore be missed. Recent innovations have resulted in 'wearable' sensors, which capture patient at an earlier stage. The objective this study was to determine whether a wireless 'patch' sensor is able reliably measure respiratory and heart rate continuously high-risk surgical patients. secondary explore potential serve as safety monitor.
Arrhythmias and heart failure are common invalidating sequelae in adult patients with congenital disease (CHD). Mobile health (m-Health) enables daily monitoring a timely response that might prevent deterioration. We present an observational prospective registry to evaluate feasibility of m‑Health telemonitoring program for managing arrhythmia, blood pressure symptomatic adults CHD.Symptomatic CHD enrolled program, which evaluates single-lead ECG, weight measurements. In case symptoms extra...
Adults with congenital heart disease (ACHD) often suffer from deterioration related to cardiac arrhythmias, hypertension (HT) or failure (HF), frequently occurring between planned visits. Mobile health (mHealth) could improve management through remote monitoring by enabling swift therapeutic response and detecting new diagnoses. We performed a prospective study employing mHealth in ACHD patients, weekly rhythm, weight blood pressure. In case of consecutive threshold exceeding measurements...
Background Hospital stays after major surgery are shorter than ever before. Although enhanced recovery and early discharge have many benefits, some complications will now first manifest themselves in home settings. Remote patient monitoring with wearable sensors the days hospital may capture clinical deterioration earlier but is largely uncharted territory. Objective This study aimed to assess technical feasibility of patients, discharged esophagectomy, being remotely monitored at a wireless...
Remote monitoring of physical activity in patients with chronic conditions could be useful to offer care professionals real-time assessment their patient's daily pattern adjust appropriate treatment. However, the validity commercially available trackers that can used for telemonitoring purposes is limited.The purpose this study was test usability and determine 3 consumer-level as a measure free-living activity.A evaluation (study 1) validation 2) were conducted. In 1, 10 individuals wore one...
Mobile health (mHealth) could improve the outcome of grown-up patients with congenital heart disease (GUCH) and reduce their emergency care utilisation. Inappropriate use mHealth, however, can lead to data overload for professionals unnecessary collection patients, increasing burden both. We aimed determine clinical characteristics high utilisation test whether these were willing start using mHealth.Clinical consecutive GUCH who visited one two participating cardiologists at outpatient...
Modern hospitals are on the brink of a monumental change. They currently exploring their options to digitally transform clinical procedures and overall patient engagement. This work thoroughly investigates how hospital departments in Netherlands can simultaneously leverage strategic exploration new IT resources practices exploit current practices, i.e., ambidexterity, drive digital transformation. Specifically, we investigate ambidexterity’s role shaping agility at departmental level,...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was limited adoption of contact-tracing apps (CTAs). Adoption particularly low among vulnerable people (eg, with a socioeconomic position or older age), while this part population tends to have lesser access information and communication technology is more virus.This study aims understand cause lagged CTAs in order facilitate find indications make public health accessible reduce disparities.Because several psychosocial variables were found be predictive...
Abstract Background Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring (HBPT) has been proposed to improve drug adherence, blood pressure control, and efficient care delivery in patients with hypertension. Its adoption GP practices however remains low. In this pilot study we evaluated barriers facilitators for successful implementation, patient satisfaction, clinical effectiveness, efficiency a HBPT project Dutch by means of the Quadruple Aim Model. Methods included hypertension that were part their regular...
Objective: Home Blood Pressure Telemonitoring (HBPT) has been proposed to improve blood pressure (BP) control, and efficient care delivery in patients with hypertension. Its adoption GP practices however remains low. In this pilot study we evaluated barriers facilitators for successful implementation, patient satisfaction, clinical effectiveness, efficiency a HBPT project Dutch by means of the Quadruple Aim Model. Design method: included hypertension that were part their regular...
We evaluated current experiences and future needs for the long-term engagement of patients in a hypertension hybrid care pathway (Maasstad Hospital, NL). Patients >18 y/o with ≥3 months participation were recruited by telephone divided into three age/focus groups distinct digital skills attitudes toward lifestyle interventions (group 1:18-40 y/o, group 2:40-65 3:>65 y/o). used deductive thematic content analysis to cluster results different elements (remote monitoring, communication,...
<b>Background:</b> COPD puts a significant burden on health care systems. Remote monitoring of patients has been evaluated but with varying results, probably due to variations in design, choices outcomes and patient adherence. We aimed evaluate the patient-equipment interface preferences use tablet-based remote system for COPD. <b>Methods:</b> Patients were offered tablet system (c-vitals, Luscii, Netherlands) during 12-week period, bluetooth connected devices that measured blood...
