Bed scales can perform passive weight, heart rate, hemodynamic consequences, apnea, and respiratory status monitoring
Even if a patient shares a bed with a partner or pet, Bed scales can measure weight and respiratory status with high resolution
Over clinically relevant weight ranges, Bed scales weight estimates are linearly correlated with commercial floor scales
The real-world durability of Bed scales is long term

The variable quality of BCG as determined by two people
Bed scales furniture compatibility limitation that cannot be supported by sensors at discrete locations and necessitates sensor positioning by someone other than the patient

Sensors, daily activity measurement via passive motion-sensing technology, and a remote care management system for vital sign symptoms |
Hourly activity
Treatments
Daily average activity readings
Patient satisfaction survey
|
Motion sensing (sensors for hourly and daily activity measures), spirometry (treatment or COPD progress include exacerbation), and symptom diaries seem to be viable additions to conventional telemedicine techniques
According to a patient satisfaction survey, most patients feel comfortable and at ease measuring their daily vitality
|
When there is more than one person in the house, both passive and active sensor methods encounter technical difficulties
Non-patients activating the motion sensor, making it impossible to distinguish between individual activity patterns
Some pilot readings may differ slightly from those taken in the general office, pulmonary office, and unobserved patients at home

Sleep apnea diagnosis
OSA treatment
Hypertension control
|
The strategy successfully diagnosed sleep apnea with 97.1% (102/105) valid studies; 90.6% (48/53, 95% CI 82.7–98.4%) of sleep apnea was undiagnosed among control patients
The intervention improved long-term excellent CPAP use: 38.6% (22/57) intervention versus 0% (0/2) control (p < 0.0001). But the intervention did not improve hypertension control in this population with well-controlled baseline blood pressure
In-home diagnostic and treatment strategies can be effectively deployed to supplement sleep medicine services that are provided in a sleep laboratory
|
The trial's limitation is its focus on the veteran population, which may limit generalizability to women because there were few female patients in this study
All of the patients in this trial had a history of cerebrovascular disease and hypertension, which should not be generalized to the setting of an acute cerebrovascular event
Because the study population had relatively mild stroke severity, the findings may not be generalizable to a population of chronic cerebrovascular disease patients with more severe neurological impairments

Sensors, active and simultaneous, for vital sign measuring |
Respiratory parameters (comparison across techniques)
Agreement between monitoring methods
Oxygen saturation
|
The study showed good agreement between home testing with in-laboratory polysomnography to diagnose obstructive sleep apnea in patients with COPD
The lower oxygen saturation levels recorded on this portable monitor than on the in-laboratory polysomnography, likely due to differences among pulse oximeters, would result in more patients with COPD being started on oxygen treatment based on this portable monitor
|
This study excluded patients who were prescribed supplemental oxygen therapy, reducing the study's generalizability
Participants were recruited from COPD patients referred to a sleep center who had a high pre-test probability of OSA
Type 3 PM devices do not assess CO2 levels, which means that in patients with COPD, CO2 retention may develop during sleep and go undetected by HAST

Devices with passive interactions for vital sign measurement |
Quality of sleep
Cognitive arousals
Device acceptance
|
A vibrotactile stimulus can induce awakening in most healthy individuals. However, the device used in this study was significantly less effective to awaken CH and COPD patients compared to healthy subjects
The vibrating alarm was followed by a cognitive arousal in 94% of cases, and 13 of the 18 healthy subjects exhibited cognitive arousal in response to 100% of the alarms (optimal awakening profile)
A clinical arousal was observed in 99% of cases, with 17 of the 18 healthy subjects exhibiting clinical arousal in response to 100% of the alarms regardless of the stage of sleep
|
When compared to healthy subjects, the device used in this study was significantly less effective at waking up CH and COPD patients
Because the study did not use polysomnography to characterize sleep but instead relied on actimetry, it was difficult to determine whether the subjects were actually asleep at the time the devices were triggered, complicating data interpretation
There was no comparison of vibrotactile and auditory stimuli in our study, which is a significant limitation, as such a comparison of efficacy and tolerability would have been especially useful

Lung function
Sleep parameter
Medication adherence and use
Heart and respiratory rate
|
Data acquired from home monitoring devices is strongly associated with the control of asthma, as assessed in the outpatient clinic during an extensive evaluation including a bronchi provocation test
The variation in lung function, the wake-up time, the reliever usage, and the recovery time of the respiratory rate after exercise did significantly distinguish between controlled and uncontrolled asthma in univariate analysis
The combination of these parameters can accurately identify 88.9% of all uncontrolled asthmatic children, suggesting a high potential of a holistic monitoring approach to assess pediatric asthma control at home
|
The study's limitation is that the non-asthmatic group was not gender matched to the asthma groups
The study's model was built on a training dataset, which must be validated with a validation dataset of asthmatic children's home-monitoring data to determine the exact effect size

Exercise capacity improvement
6-min walk test, New York Heart Association (NYHA) classes, echocardiographic parameters, cardiac biomarkers, major adverse cardiovascular events, quality of life, psychological well-being, and patients’ adherence to the rehabilitation program
|
Wearable ECG monitors can evaluate whether patients reach the intensity based on the heart rate and promptly alert the patients to ensure that exercise intensity is within the preset range
REMS can detect risky arrhythmia and provide an early warning to both the patients and their doctors, which can encourage patients to overcome fear and adhere to exercise
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used to evaluate patient exercise capacity and exertional symptoms and can provide numerous physiological parameters
|
The small sample size of this single-center study is a limitation
The study was conducted with a short-term follow-up, requiring a long-term follow-up and extending the exercise for 6 months to obtain better data on adherence

The time to first hospitalization (TTFH)
Change in the EQ-5D utility index score
Moderate exacerbation rate
|
Despite the acceptability of the monitoring system to patients, with a high adherence rate, its use did not affect overall TTFH, admission rate, or patient's quality of life assessed by EQ-5D |
The study was limited by a lower-than-expected number of hospitalizations and variation in health-care patterns across healthcare systems
There was no independent study endpoint committee to review the causes of death, which could have been differences in the hospitalization threshold
The nature of the intervention was revealed to both the participants and the study team

The smart sensor was more precise at estimating the inspiratory and expiratory times
The signal estimated by the proposed sensor approximates the predicted stepped signal with greater stability and a smaller number of artifacts than the reference device
The proposed system offers a real-time estimation of the respiratory pattern waveform at each moment that is more detailed which can be useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of multiple pathologies
The smart vest was much more comfortable for the subject than the reference device
