“AI-Enables Remote Patient Monitoring Improves
Chronic Disease Management In Hospital”
Preconditions
♦ The hospital has implemented a remote patient monitoring system utilising the proRITHM IR Platform and device.
♦ Hospital staff, including nurses and physicians, have been trained on the use of the proRITHM IR Platform and device.
♦ Patients have consented to remote monitoring and have been briefed on the process.
♦ Patients admitted to the hospital have been identified as suitable candidates for remote monitoring.
Standard Process Flow
Patient Admission and Setup
- Upon admission to the hospital, eligible patients are provided with a proRITHM Device and instructed on its setup and usage.
- Hospital staff assist the patient in connecting the device to BLE Gateway or personal mobile device.
Data Transmission and Integration
-
The proRITHM Device securely transmits the collected data to the proRITHM IR Platform integrated with the hospital’s electronic health record (EHR) system.
-
Hospital IT Support ensures seamless integration and troubleshoots any connectivity issues.
Nurse Monitoring and Response
- Nurses receive alerts on their designated monitoring stations or mobile devices.
- They review the patient’s data and assess the situation, intervening as necessary with appropriate clinical actions.
- Nurses document their assessments and interventions within the EHR system.
Patient Education and Engagement
-
Hospital staff educate patients about the purpose of remote monitoring and encourage active participation in their care.
-
Patients receive regular updates on their health status and are encouraged to ask questions or report any concerns to nursing staff.
Exceptions
- Technical issues with the proRITHM Device, proRITHM IR Platform, or hospital IT infrastructure may disrupt data transmission or analysis.
- In cases of severe medical emergencies or critical events, bedside care takes precedence over remote monitoring, and immediate in person interventions are initiated.
- Patients may opt-out of remote monitoring at any time or request additional assistance if they encounter difficulties with the devices or platform.
Continuous Monitoring
- Throughout the patient’s hospital stay, the proRITHM Device continuously collects and transmits vital signs and other relevant health data.
- Data collected may include heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, and activity level.
Real-time Alerts and Notifications
- The proRITHM IR Platform analyzes the incoming data in real-time using predefined algorithms.
- If abnormal trends or critical health indicators are detected, the platform generates alerts and notifications for the nurse and physician.
Physician Review and Intervention
- Physicians have access to the proRITHM IR Platform to review patient data remotely.
- They monitor the patient’s condition and collaborate with nurses to adjust treatment plans or order additional interventions as needed.
Postconditions
- Hospital staff have continuously monitored the patient’s health status remotely using the proRITHM IR Platform and device.
- Any abnormalities or deteriorations in the patient’s condition have been promptly addressed through nurse interventions and physician oversight.
- Patient data and interventions are accurately documented within the hospital’s EHR system for continuity of care.
