“…[9][10][11] For RMT to improve clinical practice, primary care clinicians must be involved in product development and testing. 12 To our knowledge, the factors associated with the adoption of RMT in ambulatory care have not been rigorously explored. Therefore, we conducted a systematic review to better understand the perspectives of primary care clinicians, administrators, and clinic staff regarding the acceptability and feasibility of using RMT in routine adult patient care.…”

Objective: Remote monitoring technology (RMT) may enhance healthcare quality and reduce costs. RMT adoption depends on perceptions of the end-user (e.g., patients, caregivers, healthcare providers). We conducted a systematic review exploring the acceptability and feasibility of RMT use in routine adult patient care, from the perspectives of primary care clinicians, administrators, and clinic staff. Materials and Methods: We searched the databases of Medline, IEEE Xplore, and Compendex for original articles published from January 1996 through February 2013. We manually screened bibliographies of pertinent studies and consulted experts to identify English-language studies meeting our inclusion criteria. Results: Of 939 citations identified, 15 studies reported in 16 publications met inclusion criteria. Studies were heterogeneous by country, type of RMT used, patient and provider characteristics, and method of implementation and evaluation. Clinicians, staff, and administrators generally held positive views about RMTs. Concerns emerged regarding clinical relevance of RMT data, changing clinical roles and patterns of care (e.g., reduced quality of care from fewer patient visits, overtreatment), insufficient staffing or time to monitor and discuss RMT data, data incompatibility with a clinic's electronic health record (EHR), and unclear legal liability regarding response protocols. Conclusions: This small body of heterogeneous literature suggests that for RMTs to be adopted in primary care, researchers and developers must ensure clinical relevance, support adequate infrastructure, streamline data transmission into EHR systems, attend to changing care patterns and professional roles, and clarify response protocols. There is a critical need to engage end-users in the development and implementation of RMT.

Objective: To provide an overview of the state of research concerning smart technologies that support independent living in buildings, as well as a deeper literature review of the specific challenges for the building industry. Methods: A systematic mapping methodology was applied in this study to provide basis knowledge on the state of the art. The initial search on three databases gave 3485 articles. Of these, 610 articles were finally selected as relevant to the study after removing the duplicates and screening by applying inclusion and exclusion criteria based on titles and abstracts. Keywording was performed in order to answer the research questions of the study. Results: Results from the systematic mapping technology allow the detection of almost mature technologies, as well as promising technologies and research gaps. Results from the deeper literature review have identified challenges and new trends specific to the building industry. Conclusions: Efforts are still needed for the building industry in order to contribute significantly to meeting societal needs. Further research: Research fields that would benefit from further research are highlighted.

“…With modern computer and network technologies at hand, several applications of healthcare that cannot be realized before might become the household products today. For example, a modern medication dispensing system [39] can even use robot to deliver drugs to a customer who lives in a smart home [15,18] . The other successful results [42,60,72,81] of healthcare system have also shown that modern computer, network, and intelligent technologies can be used to develop a more complete, more accurate, and more robust healthcare system.…”
