Symptom assessment in home healthcare using digital pens
1Department of Biomedical Engineering, Linköpings universitet, Sweden.
Abstract:
We have developed a system allowing patients subject to palliative advanced home care to frequently submit symptom assessments from their homes. Using digital pen technology developed by Anoto AB, symptom assessments are transferred digitally over the GSM mobile phone network from the patient's home to the hospital clinic. The system is evaluated during spring 2003 at the hospital-based home care (HBHC) clinic of Linköping University Hospital.

Assessing Body Temperature - Oral
Step 1:
Start by practicing proper hand hygiene to prevent the spread of microorganisms.
Step 2:
Take the thermometer out of the charging unit, switch it on, and wait for the ready sign.
Step 3:
Gently slide the probe cover until a click is heard. This simple action prevents cross-contamination and ensures the correct placement of the probe cover.
Step 4:
Instruct the patient to open their mouth and place...
Assessment of radial pulse
The radial pulse, located at the wrist, is often the preferred site for assessing peripheral pulse because of its accessibility and dependability. The process of determining the radial pulse involves several steps:
Assessment of apical radial pulse
The A-R pulse assessment involves simultaneous evaluation of the apical and radial pulses. When the apical and radial pulse rates vary, this assessment helps identify a pulse deficit.
Pre-Procedural Preparation
Data Collection III
The principles to begin the physical assessment include conducting a comprehensive or problem-related history in a quiet, well-lit room, emphasizing privacy and comfort for the patient.
Methods of Documentation III: PIE
Documentation in Long-Term and Home Healthcare Setting
