Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter Monitor: 24-Hour Monitoring

Holter monitoring is a continuous electrocardiography (ECG) recording that tracks the heart's electrical activity over an extended period, generally 24 to 48 hours. This noninvasive diagnostic tool detects irregular heart rhythms that may not be captured during a standard ECG performed in a clinical setting.DeviceThe Holter monitor is a portable, small device connected to several electrodes on the patient's chest. These electrodes detect the heart's electrical signals and transmit them to the...

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm

Pulse rhythm refers to the pattern of pulsations within specific intervals, offering valuable insights into the regularity or irregularity of the heart's beats as observed through the pattern of pulsation within specific intervals. A regular pulse exhibits a consistent heart rate with uniform waveforms and pulsation force, variations of which can be classified as normal, weak, or bounding.
Conversely, an irregular pulse pattern is termed dysrhythmia, stemming from disruptions in cardiac...

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...

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

Donning PPE must be completed before contact with the patient. This process protects from infectious agents. The sequence and action included in each donning are critical, and the steps must be systematic to avoid exposure to pathogens. The institutional policy also needs to be followed while donning PPE. The pre-donning preparations are gathering equipment, inspecting the PPE equipment for tears, holes, or damage, removing jewelry, removing any garments below the elbows, and tying the hair...

To assess the progress, limitations, and opportunities in developing remote health monitoring schemes for aging populations.

Main Methods:

A systematic review of articles focusing on wearable devices for remote health monitoring was conducted.
The selected articles were analyzed to determine their relevance to the needs of older adults.
Commercial and prototype wearable devices capable of measuring physiological parameters were directly reviewed for their suitability.

Main Results:

The review identified key wearable devices and sensors applicable to remote health monitoring in older adults.
Analysis revealed specific progress and limitations in current wearable technology for elderly health management.
Opportunities for enhancing the development of effective remote health monitoring schemes were highlighted.

Conclusions:

Wearable technology holds significant potential for improving remote health monitoring and chronic disease management in older adults.
Further development and optimization of wearable devices are needed to fully meet the needs of the aging population.
Implementing these technologies can lead to increased detection rates of health risks and an improved quality of life for the elderly.
