Sensing in the community, Wearables and other sensors for at home monitoring of health and wellbeing

旨在开发新的可穿戴、互联传感器和数据分析系统，使具有复杂健康需求的老年人拥有健康和福祉测量和数据的所有权，并向医疗保健专业人员提供有关进展的有用数据。目的为有复杂需求的老年人开发强大的、用户友好的健康参数传感器系统，帮助他们以满足自己需求的方式进行自我监测。为这些丰富的多参数数据开发数据分析后端，以帮助患者和医疗保健专业人员使用结果来监控健康状况，并对可能导致住院的问题提供早期警告。与有复杂健康需求的老年人的社区支持小组接触，调查自我监测如何使他们能够通过从传感器/数据系统收集的数据来管理和改善他们的健康和福祉。在该项目中开发的技术将与老年人合作积极共同开发，以满足他们的具体需求。混合方法研究社区使用数字技术促进健康的经验，收集有复杂健康需求的个人参与健康监测的最佳做法的信息。

Aim To develop new wearable, connected sensors and data analysis systems to give ownership of health and wellbeing measurements and data to older people with complex health needs and provide useful data on progress to healthcare professionals. ObjectivesDevelop robust, user friendly sensor systems for health parameters for older people with complex needs, which can help them self-monitor in a way that meets their requirements. Develop a data analysis back end for this rich, multi-parameter data to aid patients and healthcare professionals in using results to monitor health and provide early warning of problems that could lead to hospitalization. Engage with community based support groups for older people with complex health needs to investigate how self-monitoring empowers them to manage and improve their health and wellbeing, through the data gathered from the sensors/data systems. Technology developed in this project will be actively co-developed in partnership with older people in response to their specific needs. Mixed methods study of the experience of using digital technology for health in the community, gathering information on best practice for engagement with monitoring for health in individuals with complex health needs.
