What is pHealth?
»pHealth« is use of Personal Health Systems (PHS) for Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) – evaluates individual patients vital signs on daily basis and provides diagnostic information that can be transmitted to health care professionals for monitoring or early diagnosis purposes (“EC definition”)
Goals of pHealth
Conceptual transition of health care provisioning from hospital to domestic environment
Deployment of IT personal medical systems, the so-called PHS (Personal Health System)
Enabling medical professionals to monitor people in their normal living and working environments
Optimization of health care systems costs
Development of brand-new, mostly on-line diagnostics and therapeutic procedures.
Main tasks of pHealth for AAL
I. Integration of sensors, signal conditioning RF receivers, for monitoring of both on-body and in the future also in-body bio-parameters (Body Area Network)
II. Use of wireless networks for monitoring and localizationIII. Design of motion control system of the body and limbs of
everybodyIV. Design of intelligent real time Clinical Decision Support
SystemsThe target is: To create integral solutions motivating and
assisting elderly people to remain active and independent as long as possible.
Main components of Czech pHealth compliant with the above mentioned tasks Set of biosensors for all important vital signs –
Task I
Modern satellite navigation systems (GPS/EGNOS, GLONASS, GALILEO) –Task II
Communication platform Bluetooth + GPRS –Task II
RFID Long range platform – Task III
Evaluation of bio-parameters by expert system BioAnalyst – Task V
Web “events initiated” GIS visualization – Task IV – TBD with Mediinspect, Ltd., and HSRS, Ltd.
Czech pHealth projects 2012
I. Expert System for Disease Risk Warning
II. System for monitoring of people with cardiovascular diseases and diabetes and/or handicapped people
III. System for monitoring of risk pregnancy (not part of this presentation)
I. Expert System for Disease Warning“BioAnalyst”
Program package BioAnalyst is a very efficient statistical software specifically designed and focused on differential diagnostics of various groups of diseases. It is based on multivariate analysis of biochemical and other clinical data.
Basic functions of the system
Simulating data via Monte Carlo modeling Collecting of biochemical and other laboratory data Optimizing number of necessary parameters for
any group Evaluating set of collected data for a real patient Creating so-called “Disease Risk Warning
Message” Creating confirmed diagnostic clusters for any
disease group
Goals of the system
Allows control of therapeutic process in time
Can significantly reduce laboratory costs
Effective tool for training of students and young physicians
Effective tool for “disease early stage screening”
Allows creating of a completely new set of diagnostic procedures
Example of disease groups
Cardiovascular diseases
Gilbert disease
Osteoporosis
Early stage diagnostics of some types of cancer
Frederickson disease
Diabetes mellitus
Example of heart risk evaluation
Example of Monte Carlo modeling
Assistance for patients to improve their safety and independence
Monitoring of vital signs for chronic patients
Monitoring of home rehabilitation
Sending warning messages to patients
Recognition of severe falls of persons
Rapid assistance thanks to immediate awareness of those in charge
Monitoring of people at home and outdoors
Developed PHS products myXwb – RFID wrist band for indoor and
outdoor localization of persons
myXcall – personal communication and localization unit and mobile server for myXwb units
BioAnalyst – expert system for on-line evaluation of disease risk
HeRo – HealthRobot – personal wrist band communication and localization unit with vital signs sensors – pO2, temperature, pulse, blood pressure - R&D stage
1.NXP ATOP module – GPS/GLONASS, GPRS, NFC 2.JENNIC RFID module – 802.15.4 3.TOUMAZ ECG sensor 4.OrSense pO2, glucose sensors - planned 5.Bluetooth 4 module
