Remote Continuous Monitoring System for Palliative Care Support at Home

This paper reports on the implementation of a continuous monitoring system using a non-invasive integrated sensor-embedded sheet device. The system will have the enablement of the device itself, the implementation of a web platform for the real-time management and visualization of a patient/user and of the realization of a pilot test on real patients to evaluate the bed sheet in question. The overall objective of this study is to improve palliative care of patients through non-invasive and remote sensor monitoring by incorporating a bed sheet in the patient’s bed. This study was done in collaboration with the company Healthtracker Analytics. This was achieved by processing the Scientific Ethics Committee (CEC) documentation provided by RedSalud with the objective of obtaining their approval and subsequently the patient’s signed informed consent in order to proceed with the implementation of the device in the individual’s home in the pilot test.
