Abstract | ||||
Background: Remote Patient Monitoring Systems (RPMS) are essential in response to the aging population, the rise of chronic diseases, and the demand for effective healthcare delivery, particularly emphasized by the COVID-19 pandemic. Technological advancements in wireless sensor networks and the Internet of Things (IoT) have facilitated the creation of advanced RPMS that can continuously monitor various physiological parameters. Challenges persist in data security, network mobility, and energy efficiency. Methods: To examine current developments in RPMS, this research analyzes their applications, underlying technologies, architectural frameworks, and related difficulties. The review examines two main application areas: vital monitoring and disease diagnosis. This study examines specific examples of RPMS implementations, focusing on their functionalities, limitations, and potential improvements. Results: The review identifies various applications of RPMS, encompassing both wearable and non-contact sensors for monitoring vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, temperature, respiration rate) and systems designed for disease diagnosis (such as fall detection, COVID-19 risk prediction, epilepsy monitoring, and diabetes management). Architectural frameworks vary from basic two-tier systems to intricate multi-tier architectures that incorporate IoT and cloud computing. Challenges encompass sensor accuracy, data security, network reliability, energy efficiency, and patient compliance. Conclusion: RPMS has a lot of promises to improve patient autonomy, lower readmission rates in hospitals, and improve healthcare delivery. Ongoing research and development are essential to overcome current limitations and fully harness the potential of RPMS. Future advancements must prioritize the enhancement of sensor technology, the development of more robust and secure communication protocols, the improvement of energy efficiency, and the refinement of user interfaces to foster increased patient compliance. | ||||
