A medical study on wireless inertial measurement technology as a tool for identifying patients at risk of death or imminent clinical deterioration

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingsConference proceedingpeer-review

Abstract

This paper provides a system description and preliminary results for an ongoing clinical study currently being carried out at the Mid-Western Regional Hospital, Nenagh, Ireland. The goal of the trial is to determine if wireless inertial measurement technology can be employed to identify elderly patients at risk of death or imminent clinical deterioration. The system measures cumulative movement and provides a score that will help provide a robust early warning to clinical staff of clinical deterioration. In addition the study examines some of the logistical barriers to the adoption of wearable wireless technology in front-line medical care.
