“…Compare with the former research studies and deployments [15] [16], our deployment has longer time length and is of larger scale. The usage pattern is closer to the patients' daily life, thus the lesson learned here are more valuable.…”

While wearable sensor systems are now widely used to monitor vital signs in hospitals and at home, most such systems are designed for bedridden patients. In contrast, the use of wireless sensors to capture physiological data from patients for long term health monitoring is becoming increasingly popular although some previous studies recorded complaints from users about discomfort when wearing these. In addition, these systems can sometimes suffer from interference from existing Wi-Fi traffic. Therefore, a sensor system that is both comfortable to use and does not encounter interference with existing wireless traffic is required. This paper presents a system design that includes a probe, sensor, radio, and receiver for a long term heart rate monitoring in a senior center. This system has been deployed in a senior center since May 2012, and 63 seniors have used this system in this period. The senior center has its own wireless network, and no changes were made to this. The monitoring system presented in this work runs together with the existing network, and achieves a 97% packet delivery rate.

“…The discomfort or annoyance associated with wearing a monitor against the skin may also decrease the perception of relative advantage, compared with standard intermittent recording of vital signs (Ehmen et al . ). Ward staff may also have had limited understanding and appreciation for the monitoring system in this study because of the lack of observable data output.…”

“…This concern is echoed in the literature, as patients express fear that they will receive fewer visits from staff members with a corresponding reduction in care time because of a wearable monitor (Kang et al 2010). The discomfort or annoyance associated with wearing a monitor against the skin may also decrease the perception of relative advantage, compared with standard intermittent recording of vital signs (Ehmen et al 2012). Ward staff may also have had limited understanding and appreciation for the monitoring system in this study because of the lack of observable data output.…”

“…In part, this is as a response from health services to a need for greater efficiency and safety (Milenkovi c et al 2006, Alemdar & Ersoy 2010, Kuroda et al 2013) and in part because of technological innovation (Pantelopoulos & Bourbakis 2010). Wearable monitor literature focussed in non-hospital settings, such as aged care facilities, dominate the literature (Fraile et al 2010, Kang et al 2010, Pantelopoulos & Bourbakis 2010, Bergmann & McGregor 2011, Ehmen et al 2012, Baig et al 2013). The lessons from these studies, however, cannot always be generalized to the requirements of patients discharged from ICU who are a high-risk group that stand to benefit from close and mobile vital signs monitoring (Nangalia et al 2010).…”

“…Patient-reported outcome (PRO) studies, aiming to capture patient feedback on the perception and experience with a drug treatment in the relevant disease (30,31) is an emerging area of focus that will increasingly provide greater insight into product design. Ethnography (32) and ergonomic research (33) are other tools that can be used during the development of pharmaceutical products. The consumer healthcare industry has a tradition in involving consumers and patients in the drug product development process through patient testing and consumer surveys (34), and the consumer industry in general has introduced Bdesign thinking^as a process to better address the consumer needs in product design (35,15).…”

Abstract.The term Bpatient centered,^Bpatient centric,^or Bpatient centricity^is increasingly used in the scientific literature in a wide variety of contexts. Generally, patient centric medicines are recognized as an essential contributor to healthy aging and the overall patient's quality of life and life expectancy. Besides the selection of the appropriate type of drug substance and strength for a particular indication in a particular patient, due attention must be paid that the pharmaceutical drug product design is also adequately addressing the particular patient's needs, i.e., assuring adequate patient adherence and the anticipate drug safety and effectiveness. Relevant pharmaceutical design aspects may e.g., involve the selection of the route of administration, the tablet size and shape, the ease of opening the package, the ability to read the user instruction, or the ability to follow the recommended (inuse) storage conditions. Currently, a harmonized definition on patient centric drug development/design has not yet been established. To stimulate scientific research and discussions and the consistent interpretation of test results, it is essential that such a definition is established. We have developed a first draft definition through various rounds of discussions within an interdisciplinary AAPS focus group of experts. This publication summarizes the outcomes and is intended to stimulate further discussions with all stakeholders towards a common definition of patient centric pharmaceutical drug product design that is useable across all disciplines involved.
