Presentation Transcript

  1. NAE / IOM Workshop “Engineering and the Health Care System” Mar 11-12,, 2003 Practical Biomonitoring using Wireless Technology Thomas F. Budinger M.D., Ph.D. Department of Nuclear medicine and Functional Imaging, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory; Departments of Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, UCB; Department of Radiology, UCSF.

  2. Concepts of This Presentation Health care improvements which require better engineering and in some cases new engineering in the area of monitoring How wireless interfaces can simplify hospital and home care (e.g., pO2, apnea) What current engineering can do to assist the care-giver What near future nano-technology might do If we could do everything or anything, what would we do -- for infants, for home care?

  3. Biomonitoring Three areas of development: Medical Alert Network (No reliable user-friendly system) Falls Cardiac arrest Trauma Missing persons Personal Health Status (Innovations needed) Bio MEMS Devices Home Care System (Major contemporary industry) Medication and Physiologic Status

  4. Forces for Home Telecare Patient-centered focus of eHealth Wellness promotion as part of healthcare continuum which includes illness treatment Aging population

  5. Development of a Home Telecare System Laurie Wilson PhD Robert Gill PhD CSIRO Telecommunications and Industrial Physics Sydney, Australia

  6. Hospital Without Walls Daily on-line measurements Video-conferencing Activity monitor Visiting nurse Alerts On-line call centre Vital signs monitoring Distributed, electronic record

  7. Current Epidemic of RSV
