项目摘要

The goal of the proposed project is to develop a low-cost wearable sensor system for remote and continuous monitoring of COVID-19 patients at home. A sensor system that can continuously and accurately measure comprehensive vital signs will allow home-bound patients and their caregivers to make better and timely decisions as to whether care should be escalated when their health changes gradually or suddenly. Especially, this is relevant to the COVID-19 pandemic, where rapidly increasing numbers of patients and long hospitalization durations are imposing stress on the Canadian healthcare system. Such low-cost system for home-bound patients could save lives as Canadian health authorities, including the Fraser Health Authority, prepare for future waves of the COVID-19 outbreak that may emerge once physical distancing measures are eased. Of particular interest is the 'silent hypoxia' cases caused by COVID-19 pneumonia that can lead to sudden death if not properly monitored and treated in a timely manner. This project is a collaboration between Dr. Ed Park's research team at Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the Fraser Health Authority's Dr. Cheryl Beach, Executive Director of Home Support & Home Health COVID-19 Planning, and Dr. Fabio Feldman, Director of Clinical Quality & Patient Safety.

拟议项目的目的是开发一种低成本可穿戴传感器系统，用于远程和连续监测在家中的Covid-19患者。可以连续，准确地测量全面的生命体征的传感器系统，将使家庭束缚的患者及其护理人员可以更好，及时的决定，即当他们的健康状况逐渐变化时，是否应升级护理。尤其是，这与Covid-19的大流行有关，在该大流行中，迅速增加的患者数量和长期住院时间对加拿大医疗保健系统施加了压力。这样的低成本制度系统可以挽救生命，因为加拿大卫生当局（包括弗雷泽卫生当局）为COVID-19爆发的未来浪潮做好准备，一旦缓解了身体上的距离措施，可能会出现。特别令人感兴趣的是由COVID-19引起的“沉默缺氧”病例，如果不及时进行适当的监测和治疗，可能会导致猝死。该项目是Simon Fraser大学（SFU）的Ed Park研究团队与Fraser Health局的Cheryl Beach博士（Home Support＆Home Health Covid-19 Planning执行主任）的合作，以及临床质量与患者安全主管Fabio Feldman博士。
