简要总结
In this observational study, a motion monitoring system including body-worn sensors, communication portals, data capture system, and algorithms will be tested with geriatric patients in Garrison Geriatric Education and Care Center (Lubbock, TX). The study is part of a long-term effort to improve the quality of life and safety of geriatric patients by using autonomous systems that can alert care givers of mobility issues and falls.
详细描述
Medical monitoring systems have become an important area of research and development due to the possibility of allowing improved quality of life and care while reducing overall medical costs.
Significance of the study:
The study is significant because it will allow researchers to understand the efficacy of the autonomous sensor system used with actual residents of a geriatric care center. This study is one of the first attempts to monitor movements of geriatric residents as they go about their activities of daily living. This type of system has the potential to improve the quality of life and safety of geriatric patients.
Goals:
The development of autonomous patient monitoring technologies that will eventually improve the quality of life and safety of patients in geriatric care facilities and other environments.
