Concept of a new Medical Data-Driven Health Care Model based on Remote Patient Monitoring

This paper introduces a health care model for a physician supervised remote monitoring process of patient’s vital signs. The model is discussed from a process view, a medical view and a technical view. Subsequently, different scenarios for patients at home with and without outpatient care, and in a nursing home were compared. Parts of this model have been implemented and evaluated as a proof of concept.Clinical Relevance— Remote patient monitoring has the potential to relieve general practitioners in their work and help them to improve prevention and treatment of their patients. The prevention aspect in particular can contribute to a general reduction in the burden on the entire health care system.
