The UK government defines remote care as “a service that enables people, especially older people and more vulnerable individuals, to live independently and safely at home. It includes personal and environmental sensors that make people safer and more independent at home. 24-hour monitoring to ensure that in the event of an emergency, this information can be returned in a timely manner and give the user the most timely and effective response. What is Telecare? Telecare is a term for telemedicine for the elderly and physically disabled people, providing care to ensure they can continue to live independently at home, using sensors that can be Alzheimer's or have a risk of falling People provide help and support. Most remote care can mitigate the risk of adverse events and help increase the speed of response. Some remote care, such as Safety Confirmation and Lifestyle Monitoring, have preventive features that can detect signs of worsening the user's condition at an early stage. Remote care differs from telemedicine, which uses human-centered science and technology, so that people can get care in their own homes. The definition and usage of remote care has not yet formed a unified opinion internationally. In the UK, it is based on a framework of social care, while in other countries remote care is often used for long-distance medical practice. Telecare audience Remote care services can be customized to suit individual circumstances. Here are some examples of beneficiaries: 1. A vulnerable or high-risk group 2. Disabled 3. People who have difficulty learning 4. People living alone 5. People with limited mobility 6. People who have a risk of falling 7. People who take medication or receive treatment for a long time Remote care programmes not only improve the quality of life of individuals, but also help health care providers more effectively fulfill their responsibilities for providing medical services. The role of Telecare Studies have shown that most people with poor physical conditions are still willing to maintain their independence, and remote care can make their wishes come true. When the relatives and friends of these special groups can't take care of them, remote care can replace the role of relatives and friends. Remote care focuses on technology and services designed to save people's lives and improve people's lives. Remote care services typically include a 24-hour personal monitoring alert that connects to the monitoring center. When an individual finds their own emergency, they can press the SOS button to contact the monitoring center, and then someone will help them. As technology advances, some remote care service providers combine personal alarm systems with mobile phones and GPS, which means that individuals and monitoring centers have established a two-way dialogue mechanism where operators can see users from the map. Provide emergency medical assistance services in a timely manner. The simplest form is to connect a fixed or mobile phone to the monitoring center, and the user can send an alarm over the phone. Sensors used in more advanced systems can monitor a range of potential risks, which may include falls, floods, fires and gas leaks caused by environmental changes in the home. Sensors for Alzheimer's patients may be activated when they leave home or leave a designated area, and then send a radio signal to the device at home, after which the device automatically dials the monitoring center for 24 hours and is finally taken by a trained operator. Proper action to help patients contact homeowners, doctors or emergency services. Remote care also includes independent remote care, which does not send a signal to the monitoring center, but instead alerts the user when it needs attention by providing a local alert at the user's home. It is worth noting that remote care is not just an early warning system, but also a preventive measure. There are now many alarm systems, such as Pill Dispenser, Telephone Prompt Service and Movement Monitoring. Multi-lingual remote care services are now available to a wider audience. These systems play an important role in maintaining human independence and enabling users to stay home for care. Advantages of Telecare Benefits to the individual: 1. Maintain/improve independence, enabling people to have greater independence and choice in their own homes 2. Double insurance to make loved ones feel at ease 3. Reduce the need for care packages 4. Delay / avoid going to the medical care institution 5. Reduce hospital stay 6. The device can provide continuous, automatic 24-hour remote monitoring 7. Easy to use, customized according to individual needs 8. Emergency events can be processed quickly 9. Improve people's quality of life and improve people's safety at home Benefits for health and social care institutions: 1. Reduce mutual visits between medical institutions and patients 2. Promote localization services 3. Faster diagnosis and intervention 4. Reduce mortality and prolong survival 5. Reduce medical costs 6. Use medical resources more effectively Telecare in the UK In 2005, the UK Ministry of Health released Building Telecare in England to help remote care develop in the UK. In May 2008, the UK Ministry of Health launched the Whole System Demonstrator (WSD), the world's largest randomized controlled trial of telemedicine and remote care, which included 6191 patients and 238 general practitioners from Newham, Kent and Cornwall. Doctor practice project. These trials were evaluated by City University of London, Oxford University, Manchester University, Imperial College of Technology and the London School of Economics. WSD made the following conclusions after conducting telemedicine trials on 3154 patients: 1. The mortality rate is reduced by 45% 2. The number of emergency patients is reduced by 20% 3. Reduce bed time by 14% 4. Tariff costs are reduced by 8%. Telecare in China The aging society has created a huge "business opportunity", of which the remote care market is the most favored industry in Taiwan. At present, the world has listed remote care as a key development project, including "physiological monitoring" equipment including thermometers and blood glucose meters, and has become an important link in the remote care industry. According to relevant research in the UK, the electronic health care market will grow by 56% in the next five years, while the traditional clinical medical care market can only grow by 9.9%. This shows that remote care has great potential for development. At present, the physiological monitoring enterprises in Taiwan have already demonstrated high-tech research and development capabilities, and commodity innovation has repeatedly broken through. For example, ITRI has successfully developed the world's thinnest wireless physiological monitoring patch. With the "micro wireless physiological monitoring system" technology, it can keep abreast of changes in the user's body temperature, breathing, heartbeat, electrocardiogram, etc. The transmission issues a notification. Taiwan's physiological monitoring products have the dual advantages of reasonable price and stable quality. They are not only one of the main exporters of medical equipment products in the region, but also have established good reputation in the markets of Europe and the United States, and gradually gained global cooperation with the development of wireless transmission technology.
