Description
Summary:The pursuit of more efficient patient-friendly health systems and reductions in tertiary health services use has seen enormous growth in the application and study of remote patient monitoring systems for cardiovascular patient care. While there are many consumer-grade products available to monitor patient wellness, the regulation of these technologies varies considerably, with most products having little to no evaluation data. As the science and practice of virtual care continues to evolve, clinicians and researchers can benefit from an understanding of more comprehensive solutions capable of monitoring multiple biophysical parameters (eg, oxygen saturation, heart rate) continuously and simultaneously. These devices, herein referred to as continuous multiparameter remote automated monitoring (CM-RAM) devices, have the potential to revolutionise virtual patient care. Through seamless integration of multiple biophysical signals, CM-RAM technologies can allow for the acquisition of high-volume big data for the development of algorithms to facilitate early detection of negative changes in patient health status and timely clinician response. In this article, we review key principles, architecture, and components of CM-RAM technologies. Work to date in this field and related implications are also presented, including strategic priorities for advancing the science and practice of CM-RAM. L’objectif de rendre le système de santé plus efficace tout en étant proche des patients et de réduire le recours aux services de santé tertiaires a entraîné une croissance phénoménale de l’application et de l’étude des systèmes de télésurveillance des patients dans le domaine des soins cardiovasculaires. Bien qu’il existe de nombreux produits de surveillance grand public axés sur le bien-être des patients, la réglementation de ces technologies varie considérablement, la plupart des produits ne disposant que de peu de données d’évaluation, voire aucune. À mesure que la science et la pratique des soins virtuels évoluent, les cliniciens et les chercheurs peuvent tirer profit de la compréhension de solutions plus complètes permettant de surveiller plusieurs paramètres biophysiques (par exemple, la saturation en oxygène, la fréquence cardiaque) en continu et simultanément. Ces solutions font appel à des dispositifs automatisés de télésurveillance continue multiparamétrique (DATCM), qui pourraient bien révolutionner la prise en charge virtuelle des patients.
