Abstract:
This ARTORG Seminar will explore the advantages and disadvantages of how digital health has the potential to revolutionize the monitoring and treatment of patients. In recent years, sensor technology has made it possible to collect and measure a wide range of medical conditions. Especially the behaviour and activities of daily living during day and night are an indicator of the onset of a disease, change in health status and finally, if someone needs immediate care. Dr Stephan Gerber will discuss how sensor technology (e.g., wearables, mobile apps, monitoring systems) can be used to be beneficial for patients and medical professionals based on a use case, starting in a highly controlled environment intensive care unit and ending in an uncontrolled environment home. Additionally, good clinical practice methodology, data security, privacy concerns and the need for standardization will be discussed.
