Advances in Contactless Patient Monitoring in the Inpatient Setting

到2050年，很大一部分澳大利亚人口将超过65岁。传统的医疗保健机构不太可能满足这一老年人口日益增长的监测和治疗需求。大多数患者更愿意在不牺牲医院现有安全的情况下保持自主权和独立性。这一博士学位旨在探索新的模式，使存在于重症监护中的先进监测存在于非传统环境中，如家庭或疗养院。

By 2050, a large proportion of the Australian population will be over 65. Traditional healthcare settings are unlikely to cope with the increased monitoring and treatment demands of this aged population. Most patients would prefer to maintain autonomy and independence without sacrificing the security that exists in the hospital. This PhD aims to explore new modalities that enable the advanced monitoring that exist in the Intensive Care, in nontraditional settings such as home, or nursing homes.
