Article Abstract
Background: Using remote monitoring technology in the context of Alzheimer disease (AD) care presents exciting new opportunities to lessen caregiver stress and improve patient care quality. The application of wearables, environmental sensors, and smart home systems designed specifically for patients with AD represents a promising interdisciplinary approach that integrates advanced technology with health care to enhance patient safety, monitor health parameters in real time, and provide comprehensive support to caregivers.
Objective: The objectives of this study included evaluating the effectiveness of various remote sensing technologies in enhancing patient outcomes and identifying strategies to alleviate the burden on health care professionals and caregivers. Critical elements such as regulatory compliance, user-centered design, privacy and security considerations, and the overall efficacy of relevant technologies were comprehensively examined. Ultimately, this study aimed to propose a comprehensive remote monitoring framework tailored to the needs of patients with AD and related dementias.
Methods: Guided by the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) framework, we conducted a systematic review on remote monitoring for patients with AD and related dementias. Our search spanned 4 major electronic databases-Google Scholar, PubMed, IEEE Xplore, and DBLP on February 20, 2024, with an updated search on May 18, 2024.
Results: A total of 31 publications met the inclusion criteria, highlighting 4 key research areas: existing remote monitoring technologies, balancing practicality and empathy, security and privacy in monitoring, and technology design for AD care. The studies revealed a strong focus on various remote monitoring methods for capturing behavioral, physiological, and environmental data yet showed a gap in evaluating these methods for patient and caregiver needs, privacy, and usability. The findings also indicated that many studies lacked robust reference standards and did not consistently apply critical appraisal criteria, underlining the need for comprehensive frameworks that better integrate these essential considerations.
Conclusions: This comprehensive literature review of remote monitoring technologies for patients with AD provides an understanding of remote monitoring technologies, trends, and gaps in the current research and the significance of novel strategies for remote monitoring to enhance patient outcomes and reduce the burden among health professionals and caregivers. The proposed remote monitoring framework aims to inspire the development of new interdisciplinary research models that advance care for patients with AD.

Introduction: Telemedicine, also known as e-health, utilizes computer technology to deliver clinical healthcare remotely. Since its inception in the 1960s, telemedicine has evolved significantly, offering several advantages to both patients and healthcare providers, including remote care and monitoring. This study contributes to existing literature by exploring the effectiveness of telemedicine and patient satisfaction in managing health conditions in Canada, with a focus on service delivery, accessibility, efficiency, doctor-patient relationships, and network interconnectivity.

Introduction: Black Americans have the highest prevalence of hypertension among all racial or ethnic groups in the United States. They are 40% more likely to have uncontrolled blood pressure (BP) and are five times more likely to die from hypertension compared with non-Hispanic Whites. Experiences of discrimination in health care, clinician and institutional bias, and socioeconomic and environmental inequities driven by structural racism contribute to uncontrolled hypertension in this population.

Air pollution is a critical threat to human health and the quality of life in large cities. In this work, we electrically characterized indoor air quality in Dhaka City with a microcontroller-based advanced sensing system in the presence of 60 air purifiers. We conducted LabVIEW-controlled, fully automated, and remotely operated experiments to precisely monitor, store, and analyze the air-purifying effects in the concentrations of air quality index (AQI) parametersPM2.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF) frequently coexist in patients, with the development of AF often preceding HF decompensation. We sought to evaluate whether daily remote monitoring of ICD parameters could predict AF occurrence using machine learning techniques in a real-world cohort.
Methods: Data from patients with primary prevention ICDs transmitted daily to the Northwell centralized remote monitoring center between 2012 and 2021 were extracted.
