Health monitoring – tomorrow?

Wearable health technology

Physical measurements

Temperature, movement

Physiological measurements

Blood pressure, heart rate respiration

Biochemical measurements

Glucose, lactateDrugsHormones

Wearable biosensors

• Novel sensing surfaces• Nanotechnology• Flexible electronics• Miniaturization• Smart clothing• Low power electronics

Patient centred monitoring

• Clinical need

• Suitable biomarker measurement

• Connectivity

• Data management

• Clinical Support

Clinical support

• Assistance is provided in the interpretation of the test results

• Advice for appropriate follow-up tests is provided

• Collation of other requests can be made for increased incidence of infections and epidemics

• Budget savings can be made on noncritical but key tests via batch testing

• Indemnity exists for responsibility of the test result

Measures of success?

• People feeling more confident to manage their condition.

• Fewer GP consultations.

• Improved shared decision making with patients about their care.

• Improved team working across the system.

• Improved partnerships and relationships.

• Better sharing of information, with the patient and among different services.

• Faster referral processes between organisations.

• Better identification of patients using risk stratification.

• Embedding tele-health within the care model.
