Personalized health monitoring at home for Independent Elderly



       Intel.GE Company has created the Care Innovations™ Guide, this is a comprehensive virtual care coordination system that connects patients and their care teams for personalized healthcare management at home. This system was created having in mind the patients with chronic conditions, their caregiver as well as their health provider.  The Care Innovations™ Guide engages and empowers patients to take a more active and positive role in their own care. Some futures of this system are:
  • Interactive patient health sessions: These sessions enable the patient to measure their vital signs by a connection of the device to certain models of medical equipment such as blood pressure monitors, glucose meters, pulse oximeters, peak flow meters and weight scales. Also allow the patient to respond to health assessment questions, receive educational information, motivational messages, and complete surveys information that can then be made available to authorized healthcare professionals to help assess the patient's health status.
  • Multimedia educational library: Provides a variety of multimedia content, including text, audio, and video.
  • Two-way video calls: An integrated video camera allows healthcare professionals to arrange and conduct two-way video calls with their patients.
  • Vital sign devices and measurements: numerous wired and wireless vital sign devices have been tested and validated to ensure interoperability.
  • Audio and visual notifications: Patients are notified of scheduled sessions with an audible tone and with visual cues that include on-screen reminders and a flashing light. 
  • Patient-centered design: based on years of research to understand the needs of patients and, in particular, the needs of the aging population. 
  • Several key elements in The Guide: large touch-screen interactive display, integrated audio and video, large buttons and graphics to help reduce errors, icons tested for usability.
