3RESEARCH PROJECT2. Literature Review:2.0 IntroductionThis chapter helps in developing a deep understanding and knowledge regarding thesignificance of remote healthcare monitoring in the healthcare. The chapter highlights theconcept of remote healthcare monitoring along with discussing the basic design of the MHM,opportunities, challenges and the impact of the patients and the healthcare professionals. Theimplementation of RHM has enhanced the healthcare system in Australia. 2.1 Remote Monitoring:It is important to understand the ways the healthcare professionals can ensure indelivering invariable and eminence care to the patients staying in the remote locations. It is alsosignificant in understanding the ways patients ensure they get the support of the professionalswithout spending much time along with efforts in visiting the hospital. The answer to all thesequestions lies in the fact of patient monitoring system; an action taken up in investigating thehealth of the patient without physically being present there, helpful especially for elderly peopleor the ones suffering from chronic disease. The incorporation of the technologies ofcommunication mould into the patient care has offered the professionals with game shiftingresolution in delivering a better quality of medical awareness on remote basis. Remote monitoring is one of the healthcare sort technologies that facilitates the patientsin using a mobile medical device in performing of a schedule test and sending the data to theprofessionals related to healthcare in real-time (Benharref &Serhani, 2014). Remote monitoringtechnology takes into consideration the regular monitoring devices like the meters of glucose forpatients having diabetes, heart or blood anxiety monitors for the patients receiving care for

4RESEARCH PROJECTcardiac treatment. This data can be send to the office of general practice with an internetconnection along with an application for software installed in a computer, tablet or Smartphonein patient’s home. The information is being stored within a database so the professional ofhealthcare can evaluate the data. 2.2 Ways of curbing chronic conditions:It is only subject to time before the exam-room-centered centers around the care forpatients, giving way to the management of the patients dispensed in maintaining or improving ofthe health. However, it would not give away the routine and active treatment of the sick patientsby the physicians. As per Klasnja & Pratt, (2012), new models of payment added with financialincentives and hindrance for the physicians, call on the providers of healthcare in bettermanaging the population of patients as a mean of preventing issues related to health and progresson the outcome. This business that is emerging and the need for clinical has pretended the expansion of atechnology class that associates patients present status of medical to the physicians along withother caregivers in the hospitals and practices offering primary care. It is a compilation of thevital-sign takers, trackers for activity along with other devices in stepping on or strapping on andthen transmitting the readings of the same to a assortment position within a computer or anysecured site within the internet ‘cloud’. At its very best such technologies have the ability inpicking the weight again, prominent hypertension or certain other apprehension before theydevelop into threats to life or health. Remote monitoring is extremely significant and potentially in the vanguard for thetechnologies in mobile for its probable significance in lessening the rates of hospital readmission

5RESEARCH PROJECTthat sometimes becomes big headlines. Remote monitoring takes in keeping the patient in touchwith the physicians over a longer period of time outside the surroundings of acute-care so thatone does not have to wait for the disasters to take place in bringing the deteriorating condition tothe attention of the provider. Patients want admittance to these sorts of remote monitoring technologies in improvingtheir health condition. A health patient survey conducted by the public relations agency RuderFinn found out that approximately 34 per cent of the patients need their physicians in havingmore admittance to the remote monitoring technologies. Patients who are older require these sortof technologies even more with the survey stating around 40 per cent of the older ones requiringaccess to the technology that has the ability in alerting the physicians along with other caregiversif there is any sort of emergency in health. Under the present circumstances, establishment of the remote monitoring system andbeing paid for the same vestiges a challenge, mainly for the independent practices of small andsolo nature. Physicians have already been tackling with and are besieged with a multitude oftechnology systems that requires proper understanding and investing from the systems ofelectronic health records along with the portals of the patients to the platforms for telemedicineand social media. Instituting of the remote monitoring, as stated by the experts would be requiring changesin the ways medical practice has been conducting its business, might need joining a clinicallyincorporated system of providers for scaling the process of monitoring in appropriate basis.Physicians are required in developing fresh ways for interacting with the patients along withinstituting new procedures and tasks for the members of the staff in taking on this flood of data

6RESEARCH PROJECTand making it practical and more useful for developing of the care for patients and diminishingthe cost factor. 2.3 Components of tele monitoring:The monitoring of the vital signs of a person takes in an observer making use of theirown senses in direct manner in determining the rate of pulse, breathing and many other factors.Further sophistication is being produced through the introduction of the simple form oftechnology; however the act of monitoring is being performed directly by the physician. All theremaining procedures, taking in the synthesizing of the proper response occur within the brain ofthe clinician. As per Desai, (2012), the technological advancement along with the concludingstage of remote monitoring has separated the numerous links within the chain between thefactors of acting and measuring and making explicit the chain of events, actions along with thedecisions associated with the patient and the clinician. The several links within this chain might include the following factors: acquisition of thedata using the proper sensor, diffusion of these data to the clinician from the patient along withsynthesizing of a proper action. Adding to that would be the decision support mechanism andstorage of the data. 2.4 Transmission of data from patient to clinician:Mainly depending on the setting, data transmission can be done by wired or even throughwireless connections. Modalities take into account both the wired and the wireless networks ofthe computer, networks of telephones and that of the mobile phones. Systems that recognize themodalities available and use them consequently for the data transmission are being improved ordeveloped (Istepanian, Laxminarayan & Pattichis, 2014). The transmission technology is stated

7RESEARCH PROJECTto be the indispensable glue in the several possible topological chains. Its abilities predicate theeffectiveness of some of the other components. Technological transmission will be required forselection as per the particular use envisioned. The process of data transmission from the patientparty to the clinician might be a continuous process or might occur only when an exception ofpre-defined nature has taken place or at the time of availability of connection. Under the present circumstances, various systems tend to use the standards of proprietaryfor the process of data communication. Governments have started setting up of the asideproportions of the spectrum of electromagnetic for the purpose of specific use of the wirelesstelemetry, though not always consistent across the international regions with cropping up of theissues related to interferences (Piyare, 2013). 2.5 Data Integration with state of patient:This process may be conducted either with the help of a computer or a clinician, or itmight be both. Incorporation of computer along with the data analysis process and theircombination into the information on which the act is to take place can occur anywhere within thechain. Adding to that is the fact it might be distributed across the process. Amongst many otherthings, this is mainly dependent on the requirement of data that is being conveyed along thechain that is itself dependent on the availability of the bandwidth and its cost. Raw data needs tobe transmitted or simple the rate of heart, a full set of the vital signs that could be conveyed likesthe warning score or other point of index of the severity of the patients on the factor of illness(Suryadevara & Mukhopadhyay, 2012). The uncovering of a meticulous patient state resulting from the incorporation of thecomputer along with the evaluation of the data and their synthesis might be used in triggering the
