PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning01:22

PPE Use in Healthcare Settings I: Donning

1.1K
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...

Integrated Healthcare System

1.7K
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,...

Peripheral Artery Disease III: Interprofessional Care

18
Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...

Tertiary Healthcare System01:21

Tertiary Healthcare System

1.8K
Specialized care provided over an extended period is called tertiary care. Usually, a primary or secondary care physician will refer a patient to tertiary care. A patient's maximum physical and mental function is restored in tertiary care, which is caused due to the impact of a chronic illness or condition. Tertiary care aims to achieve the highest level of functioning possible while managing chronic illness. For example, a patient who falls and fractures their hip will need secondary care...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Internet of Things (IoT)

Background:

  • The elderly population is growing, increasing vulnerability to health issues like respiratory diseases and COVID-19.
  • Continuous care for the elderly, often involving close personal contact, poses significant health risks.
  • Existing remote monitoring systems may lack comprehensive functionality or efficiency.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design, develop, and test an IoT system for remote elderly monitoring.
  • To create a smart garment capable of detecting critical health events and falls.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a smart garment with integrated physiological sensors.
  • Implementation of a cloud-based system for data transmission via a home gateway.
  • Creation of a customized mobile application for remote monitoring and alerts.
  • Usability and functionality testing with professional caregivers.
  • Power consumption analysis of the monitoring system.

Main Results:

  • The IoT system successfully detects falls, sudden temperature changes, heart problems, and heat stroke.
  • Real-time remote monitoring and alerts were achieved through the smart garment and app.
  • Usability and functionality surveys with caregivers indicated positive results.
  • The system demonstrated decent power consumption, allowing for all-day wear without frequent charging.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed IoT system is a useful and usable solution for remote elderly monitoring.
  • The system provides real-time health event detection and alerts, enhancing elder safety.
  • Its efficient power consumption makes it practical for continuous, long-term use by elderly individuals.
