Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Current Trends in Nursing II

Current Trends in Nursing II

Trends in nursing are multifactorial and associated with changes in society, within the nursing profession, and in other professions. Notably, telehealth and remote nursing contribute to successful healthcare delivery for numerous patients and help reduce stress for nurses due to nursing shortages. Nurses can reach patients, monitor their conditions, and interact with them using computers, audio, visual accessories, and telephones—for example, remote patient monitoring systems. Likewise,...

Integrated Healthcare System

Integrated Healthcare System

An integrated healthcare system (IHS) is a set of organizations that provides for or arranges to provide coordinated and continuous service to a defined population. The IHS takes responsibility for that particular population's health status and outcome, both clinically and fiscally. An integrated healthcare system is a well-organized, well-coordinated, and collaborative network. The integrated delivery system is a network that connects different healthcare providers to deliver organized,...

Area of Science:

Gerontology
Computer Science
Textile Engineering

Background:

Aging populations in Europe necessitate advanced support systems.
Current smart home technologies risk user over-dependence and isolation.
Assistive technologies require innovative solutions for mobile support.

Purpose of the Study:

To extend the smart home concept into a mobile smart environment.
To develop a wearable system that supports elderly individuals outside the home.
To prevent over-dependence on home-based assistive technologies.

Main Methods:

Convergence of physiological monitoring, computing, and textile technologies.
Development of a multi-layered, multi-functional clothing system.
Integration of wireless IP connectivity (WiFi enabled) within the clothing system.

Main Results:

The proposed system acts as a mobile extension of a smart home IP hub.
Clothing layers offer variable functionalities (thermal, shock-absorbent).
Provides ongoing lifestyle guidance and action feedback via auto-diagnostic analysis.

Conclusions:

Wearable smart environments can enhance elderly independence by extending support beyond the home.
Integrating technology into clothing offers a novel approach to mobile assistive solutions.
This system promotes health optimization through continuous monitoring and feedback.
