\section{Background}
|
|
|
|
In hospital setting, calculation of EWSs has been shown to predict important clinical outcomes effectively, such as severe deterioration, likelyhood of ICU admission,
|
|
and mortality\autocite{subbe_validation_2001, buist_association_2004, paterson_prediction_2006, brekke_value_2019}.
|
|
Javanbakht et al. found that continuous vitals monitoring is more cost-effective than intermittent monitoring\cite{javanbakht_cost_2020}, however the findings of
|
|
this study should be taken lightly due to potential bias reporting.
|
|
|
|
EWSs are also a viable tool for predicting deterioration outside of hospitals\cite{ehara_effectiveness_2019}, allowing for preemptive action to be taken.
|
|
|
|
|
|
\section{Motivation}
|
|
Serveral IoT-based approaches have been proposed and implemented in an experimental setting\cite{sahu_vital_2022,sahu_cloud-based_2022,sahu_internet--things-enabled_2022}
|
|
Sahu et al. used the PM6750, an experimental vitals data monitoring device capable of continuous vitals data measurements, but requiring a large number of sensors and cables
|
|
being continuously attached to the patient and connected to a power outlet\cite{noauthor_pm6750_nodate}.
|
|
|
|
Patients appreciate the face-to-face aspect of early warning score monitoring as it allows for reassurance, social interaction, and gives them further opportunity to ask questions about their medical care\cite{downey_patient_2018}.
|
|
|
|
Setting up continuous monitoring systems used to be cumbersome as it involves connecting patients to sensor devices
|
|
with numerous electrodes and cables, which restrict patient activities to the bed area.
|
|
Also, data transmission were highly reliant on in-house telecommunication infrastructure.
|
|
In contrast, wearable device such as armband or wristband incorporates multiple biosensors in a single form-factor,
|
|
which allows a higher degree of patient mobility without the constraints of physical wirings.
|
|
More importantly, data transmission through cellular network avoids the need of installing additional in-house
|
|
telecommunication infrastructure, allows rapid deployment, and provides versatile and scalable solutions.
