With many conditions requiring patients to rehabilitate at home, it can sadly be all too common for the condition to relapse on account of inadequate care of the wound or rehab at home. The UK’s Dartford and Gravesham NHS Trust have deployed an AI-powered wearable technology to provide remote monitoring of patients once they’ve been discharged.
The system, known as Current, provides a real-time data stream to clinicians and other medical staff to allow more targeted interventions. This resulted in not only a 22 percent reduction in home visits but reduced rates of readmission to hospitals.
The technology utilizes wearable devices and sensors to provide remote patient monitoring and hopefully reduce visits to the emergency department, minimize readmissions, and avoid hospitalization. The technology proved easy to use, with staff trained to use it in under an hour.
