11:30-12:00 h | Virtual
Chronic respiratory diseases such as asthma and COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) affect the lives of more than 500 million individuals around the globe, according to data collected by the WHO (World Health Organization). These diseases are also amongst the highest causes of death, with some of these being avoidable. Using personalized wearable healthcare solutions is one of the ways a more efficient delivery of care is being developed, as it provides better long- and short-term outcomes. Wearable healthcare technologies are giving us real-time insights into our well-being, from detection of atrial fibrillation and blood-oxygen levels to body temperature, sleep disorders, and much more. With this data, we can more closely monitor chronic conditions, be more proactive about preventive care, and perhaps even detect issues of concern before they happen. In today’s challenging times for healthcare providers, there is greater need for low-touch solutions to manage chronic diseases. More importantly, there’s a need to improve outcomes while reducing costs. Continuous remote monitoring of vital signs including SpO2 offers a cost-effective way to improve chronic disease outcomes that are related to the respiratory system. There are many technical challenges faced by engineers designing solutions that offer this capability in convenient and unobtrusive form factors. There is a shortage of high-performance solutions that are capable of addressing the need for continuous SpO2 measurements in locations on the body that are convenient, unobtrusive and provide measurements over a wide range of end users. The design challenges faced by engineers measuring SpO2 on the wrist as well as on the chest go beyond that of simple optical heart rate solutions commonly available. The measurement of SpO2 requires a high-performance end to end solution including electronics, opto-mechanical design and algorithms. The presentation will identify the challenges involved in designing continuous remote patient monitoring solutions as well as describe solutions available to accelerate time to market whilst maintaining the highest levels of performance.
