About this Research Topic
Remote physiological measurements, also known as telemonitoring, is a rapidly evolving field that enables the collection of physiological data from individuals at a distance. This technology has significant implications for healthcare, as it provides the potential for real-time monitoring of among others patients with chronic diseases. Telemonitoring has several advantages over traditional methods of physiological measurement, including the ability to collect data remotely and continuously, which can provide more comprehensive information on an individual's health status. This information can then be used to make informed decisions about the management of a patient's condition and to provide personalized care. Furthermore, telemonitoring can help to reduce healthcare costs by reducing the need for in-person visits and hospitalizations. This can be especially important for individuals who live in remote or underserved areas, as telemonitoring can provide access to specialized care that may not be available locally. Telemonitoring of physiological processes is an important and rapidly evolving field that has the potential to transform healthcare.
The goal of this Research Topic is to explore the use of remote technology to enhance the delivery of rehabilitation services and physical exercise programs. Traditional rehabilitation services and physical exercise programs often require in-person visits, which can be challenging for individuals with mobility or transportation issues. Additionally, access to specialized care may be limited in certain areas, making it difficult for individuals to receive the care they need.
A primary objective of this research topic is to address the need for an updated knowledge base pertaining to remote monitoring. Telemonitoring and remote rehabilitation/exercise programs involves the use of wearable sensors and mobile applications to monitor physiological processes and provide real-time feedback to individuals on their progress. This allows individuals to receive personalized care and rehabilitation services from the comfort of their own homes, while also providing clinicians with important data on their patients.
In this Research Topic, we welcome research articles that explore the following sub-themes in different areas of health:
- Cardiology: Remote monitoring of heart rate, blood pressure, and other cardiovascular parameters can help identify early warning signs of heart disease and improve the management of chronic heart conditions.
- Diabetes: Telemonitoring of blood glucose levels and other metabolic parameters can improve glycemic control and reduce the risk of complications in individuals with diabetes.
- Respiratory: Remote monitoring of lung function, oxygen saturation, and other respiratory parameters can help manage chronic respiratory diseases, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma.
- Neurology: Telemonitoring can be used to monitor symptoms and track disease progression in individuals with neurological conditions, such as Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis.
- Psychiatry: Telemonitoring of physiological processes, such as heart rate variability, can be used to track stress levels and help manage anxiety and other mental health conditions.
We recommend submitting contributions that present original research findings, review papers and innovative proofs of concept.
