TAILIEUCHUNG - A Review of Approaches to Mobility Telemonitoring of the Elderly in Their Living Environment

Evidence of increasing age includes wrinkles and sagging skin. Aging skin appears thinner, more pale, and clear (translucent). Thus, skin is at higher risk for injury. Large pigmented spots (called age spots, liver spots, or lentigos) may appear in sun-exposed areas. The blood vessels of the skin become more fragile. This leads to bruising, bleeding under the skin. Women’s skin gradually produces less oil beginning after menopause. This can make it harder to keep the skin moist, resulting in dryness and itchiness. The sweat glands produce less sweat. This makes it harder to keep cool, and they are at increased. | Annals of Biomedical Engineering Vol. 34 No. 4 April 2006 2006 pp. 547-563 DOI S10439-005-9068-2 A Review of Approaches to Mobility Telemonitoring of the Elderly in Their Living Environment Cliodhna Ni Scanaill 1 Sheila Carew 2 Pierre Barralon 3 Norbert Noury 3 Declan Lyons 2 and Gerard M.

Remote monitoring can reduce the amount of recurring admissions to hospital facilitate more efficient clinical visits with objective results and may reduce the length of a hospital stay for individuals who are living at home. Telemonitoring can also be applied on a long-term basis to elderly persons to detect gradual deterioration in their health status which may imply a reduction in their ability to live independently. Mobility is a good indicator of health status and thus by monitoring mobility clinicians may assess the health status of elderly persons. This article reviews the architecture of health smart home wearable and combination systems for the remote monitoring of the mobility of elderly persons as a mechanism of assessing the health status of elderly persons while in their own living environment.
