BACKGROUND Despite the vast potential, the digital transformation of intensive care is lagging behind. Comprehensive evidence, along with guidelines for a successful integration of digital health technologies into specific clinical settings such as the intensive care unit (ICU), are scarce—yet essential. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the implementation of a remote patient monitoring platform and derived an implementation framework proposal for digital health technology in an ICU. METHODS We conducted this study from May 2018 to March 2020 during the implementation of a tablet-computer based remote patient monitoring system. The system was installed in the ICU of a large German university hospital as a supplementary monitoring device. Following a hybrid qualitative approach with inductive and deductive elements, we used the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research and the Expert Recommendations for Implementing Change to analyze the transcripts of seven semi-structured interviews with ICU clinical stakeholders and quantifiable questionnaire data. Results of the qualitative analysis, together with the findings from informal meetings, field observations, and previous explorations, provided the basis for the derivation of the proposed framework. RESULTS Inductive analysis of the interview transcripts revealed an insufficient implementation process because of a lack of staff engagement and little perceived benefits from the novel solution. The ICU was not considered the most suitable for remote patient monitoring, as the staff’s presence and monitoring coverage were high. We propose an implementation framework for digital technologies, including strategies to apply before and during implementation, targeting the implementation setting by involving all stakeholders, assessing the intervention’s adaptability, facilitating the implementation process, and maintaining a vital feedback culture. Setting up a unit responsible for implementation, taking into account the guidance of an implementation advisor, and building on existing institutional capacities could improve the institutional context of implementation projects. CONCLUSIONS The ICU provides an exceptional setting for the introduction of digital health technology because it is a high-tech environment involving multiple professions and high-stress levels. Before implementation, the need for innovation and the ICU’s readiness to change should be assessed. During implementation, a clinical team should ensure transparent communication and continuous feedback. The establishment of an implementation unit is recommended to promote a sustainable implementation culture and to benefit from existing networks. Our proposed framework may guide health providers with concrete, evidence-based, and step-by-step recommendations for implementation practice facilitating the introduction of digital health in intensive care.

How might clinicians collect the vitals needed for effective scheduled video visits for older adults? This challenge was presented by AARP to graduate students in a Digital Health course at Tufts University School of Medicine. The design thinking process was used to create a product that would meet this need, keeping the needs and constraints of older adults, especially those with chronic conditions or other barriers to health, central to the solution. The initial steps involved understanding and empathizing with the target audience through interviews and by developing personas and scenarios that identified barriers and opportunities. The later steps were to ideate potential solutions, design a prototype, and define product success. The design thinking process led to the design of Home Health Hub, a remote patient monitoring (RPM) platform designed to meet the unique needs of older adults. Additionally, Home Health Hub can conceivably benefit all users of telehealth, regardless of health status—an important need during the COVID-19 pandemic, and in general due to increased use of virtual visits. Home Health Hub is one example of what can be achieved with the dedicated use of design thinking. The design thinking process can benefit public health practice as a whole by encouraging practitioners to delve into a problem to find the root causes and empathize with the needs and constraints of stakeholders to design innovative, human-centered solutions.

The article describes the technology of remote patient monitoring and the parameters of circulatory assist device AVK-N as well as the advantages of said technology to improve the efficiency of personalized medicine in diagnosis and treatment of patients with AVK-N in the postoperative period. Authors show the capabilities of remote monitoring technology to determine the location of the patient by satellite navigation in the case of emergency call for medical and technical services, and present the structure and modes of the displayed information for mobile devices and Web-server. Doctor-patient interaction based on remote monitoring technology via mobile/ satellite/wired Internet is also shown.

Abstract Background The emergence of COVID-19 resulted in postponement of nonemergent surgical procedures for cardiac patients in London. mHealth represented a potentially viable mechanism for highlighting deteriorating patients on the lengthened cardiac surgical waiting lists. Objective To evaluate the deployment of a digital health solution to support continuous triaging of patients on a cardiac surgical waiting list. Method An NHS trust utilized an app-based mHealth solution (Huma Therapeutics) to help gather vital information on patients awaiting cardiac surgery (valvular and coronary surgery). Patients at a tertiary cardiac center on a waiting list for elective surgery were given the option to be monitored remotely via a mobile app until their date of surgery. Patients were asked to enter their symptoms once a week. The clinical team monitored this information remotely, prompting intervention for those patients who needed it. Results Five hundred and twenty-five patients were on boarded onto the app. Of the 525 patients using the solution, 51 (9.71%) were identified as at risk of deteriorating based on data captured via the remote patient monitoring platform and subsequently escalated to their respective consultant. 81.7% of patients input at least one symptom after they were on boarded on the platform. Discussion Although not a generalizable study, this change in practice clearly demonstrates the feasibility and potential benefit digital remote patient monitoring can have in triaging large surgical wait lists, ensuring those that need care urgently receive it. We recommend further study into the potential beneficial outcomes from preoperative cardiac mHealth solutions.
