自首次设想在家庭和社区环境中对个人进行临床监测以来，已经过去了50多年。直到最近，还缺乏实现这种愿景的技术。然而，在过去十年中开发的可穿戴传感器和系统提供了工具，最终实现和部署具有患者家庭监测领域研究人员所需功能的技术。如所讨论的，这些技术的潜在应用包括诸如充血性心力衰竭之类的疾病的早期诊断、诸如糖尿病之类的慢性病症的预防、诸如帕金森病之类的神经变性病症的改进的临床管理、以及对诸如癫痫患者中的癫痫发作和经历心血管监测的受试者中的心脏骤停之类的紧急情况的迅速响应的能力。目前的研究工作现在集中在开发更复杂的系统，用于对具有各种临床前和临床状况的个体进行家庭监测。最近关于可穿戴技术临床评估的研究有望提供有望在未来五到十年内实现临床应用的方法。特别是，将家用机器人和可穿戴技术相结合，很可能是实现在家中有效监测患者目标的关键一步。这些融合家用机器人和可穿戴技术的努力预计将使新一代复杂系统能够监测受试者的状态，促进干预管理，并提供应对紧急情况的宝贵工具。
It is now more than 50 years since the time when clinical monitoring of individuals in the home and community settings was first envisioned. Until recently, technologies to enable such vision were lacking. However, wearable sensors and systems developed over the past decade have provided the tools to finally implement and deploy technology with the capabilities required by researchers in the field of patients' home monitoring. As discussed, potential applications of these technologies include the early diagnosis of diseases such as congestive heart failure, the prevention of chronic conditions such as diabetes, improved clinical management of neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson's disease, and the ability to promptly respond to emergency situations such as seizures in patients with epilepsy and cardiac arrest in subjects undergoing cardiovascular monitoring. Current research efforts are now focused on the development of more complex systems for home monitoring of individuals with a variety of preclinical and clinical conditions. Recent research on the clinical assessment of wearable technology promises to deliver methodologies that are expected to lead to clinical adoption within the next five to ten years. In particular, combining home robots and wearable technology is likely to be a key step toward achieving the goal of effectively monitoring patients in the home. These efforts to merge home robots and wearable technology are expected to enable a new generation of complex systems with the ability to monitor subjects' status, facilitate the administration of interventions, and provide an invaluable tool to respond to emergency situations.
