Title :
Beyond Mobile Coronary Care - A Telehealthcare Case Study
Abstract :
The following topics are presented: distribution of acute coronary deaths; percentage of cardiac deaths occur in the home and circulatory arrests that are unwitnessed; future sensing of vital signs in the home; self-care, telecare, and early intervention; communication technology; wireless noninvasive vital signs platform; wireless vital signs (WVS) platform- Holter as an example product; WVS platform advantages; motion artefact reduction; WVS platfor- vital sign inputs; noninvasive patch-based vital signs monitor; patient management; WVS platform roadmap- disposable; biosensing- patient identification; home-based vital signs monitoring; atrial fibrillation; and microcardia atrial defibrillator technical assessment.
