Health monitoring in the home of the future

Abstract

We discuss health monitoring as a potential application field for wearable sensors. We present some usage models for health monitoring and discuss the technical requirements for the health-monitoring system based on wearable and ambient sensors, which measure health-related data in daily environments of the users or patients. The presentation is by no means complete, but it aims to give an idea of the system-level issues to be considered for real applications. The technology in this area is rapidly developing, and without doubt we will evidence emergence of these applications in the coming years in the market.

  • Long-term and continuous monitoring of vital signs is particularly important in early diagnosis of diseases, management of chronic diseases, and timely response to life-threatening situations.

    “Long-term and continuous monitoring of vital signs is particularly important in early diagnosis of diseases, management of chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma, hypertension, and severe obesity, and timely response to life-threatening situations such as seizure and cardiac arrest.[2,3]”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
