WearIT4Health - Wearable Integrated Technology for Health Monitoring of Hospitalized Patients in the Euregio Meuse-Rhine

From 01-01-2016 to 31-12-2018

Description

The project will focus on the hospital environment and take into account the reality of patients and nurses. The hospitals will therefore play a crucial role in the specifications of the monitoring device, its validation and its integration into their infrastructure.

The targeted patients are the ones who aren’t under constant monitoring (80% in CHU Liège). Aside hospitalized patients, additional applications of the system are, by priority order:

·         use at home for telemedicine,

·         use in retirement homes,

·         use in paediatrics,

·         use in non medical situations: sport, high risk work conditions…
