A Patient-Centric Care Approach to Facilitate the Design of an Artificial Intelligence Application in Geriatric Care Management of Heart Failure Readmissions

Abstract

The examination of human factors’ role in moderating medical interventions and hospitalizations and/or rehospitalization of heart failure (HF) patients. Objectives: The primary purpose of this study is two-fold: 1) to show relevant human factors influencing the rehospitalization of persons with heart failure by developing a systematic algorithm generated from the cited randomized trials; and 2) to examine how the self-care principles, such as choice/efficacy, restfulness, healing environment, activity, trust, interpersonal relationships, outlook, and nutrition, may reduce heart failure readmissions. Methods: The meta-analytic approach generated a theoretically relevant and empirically validated self-care management decision support protocol for HF. Statistical modeling of the effects of eight human factors for the reduction of HF readmissions was presented. Findings: The systematic review and meta-analysis approach documents the results of randomized clinical trials that affect heart failure hospitalization by selected human factors. A patient-centered decision support system was developed to facilitate the self-care management of heart failure. Discussion: Our research generates systematic knowledge about the importance of human-factor principles in the provision of geriatric care for heart failure. Using shared decision-making strategies under the population health management approach could enhance the quality of care and reduce costly readmissions of heart failure, particularly for elderly patients.

The need for innovations in healthcare systems using patient experience and advancing information technology

“…We can perceive this as a necessary marriage between psychology and technology; thereby, making it a transdisciplinary and transformative science that is worth investigating. This transdisciplinary science involves transformation in data science applied to healthcare (Kulkarni et al, 2021), improvements in information systems (Wan et al, 2021), and dealing with user challenges (Gurupur & Miao, 2022). We would like to promise our readers that the advancement of this investigation will be presented in future issues of this journal.…”

Design of Rural Home Smart Pension Monitoring System Based on Artificial Intelligence

“…The elderly can control household appliances such as lighting, air conditioning and television through voice commands, which is convenient for their daily life. At the same time, the system can also automatically detect the use of household appliances, remind the elderly to repair or replace aging equipment in time, and ensure the safety of the elderly [8]. In addition, the system can also provide social services to keep in touch with family and friends through video calls and online chats, so as to reduce the loneliness of the elderly.…”

Convergence of artificial intelligence research in healthcare: Trends and approaches

“…Because the conventional approach to health data analysis does not observe patient states longitudinally in multiple time points with repeated measures, the static nature of patient care data is unable to reveal trajectory patterns of chronic disease and its complications. Sequential data of patient care status with both time-varying and time-constant variables together should capture any changes in the panel data system (Wan, 2017). Hence, we can develop meaningful and useful predictive analytics for identifying determinants of health or illness (Fig.…”
