We are a population that is getting progressively older. As we age, the need for better quality and efficient healthcare services at home and hospitals is becoming significantly more important. With the increasing cost of providing care-giver based monitoring services for patients and an ageing of the nurse and caregiver population itself, Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has the potential to improve the quality of health services and lower the total cost of providing healthcare to chronic care patients by avoiding unnecessary hospitalizations, and ensuring urgent care is afforded to people who are in need of it. The commercial availability of monitoring units to measure vitals such as blood pressure, glucose and weight are assisting in the adoption of RHM. In this paper, I discuss the enforcement of privacy and confidentiality through security measures and practices. I end the discussion by outlining additional areas for research and suggestions for future work.

This chapter describes a monitoring system based on alerts and Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), applied in clinical context, within a chronic disease (haemophilia). This kind of disease follows the patient through his/her life, and its treatment requires an almost permanent exchange of data/information with healthcare professional (HCPs), with the information and communications technologies (ICTs) a key contribution in this process. However, most applications based on those ICTs do not allow the analysis of heterogeneous data in real-time, requiring the availability of clinicians to check the data and analyze the information to support the clinical decision process. Since time is a scarce resource in the context of healthcare providers, and information a crucial resource in the decision support process, real-time monitoring systems can help finding the right balance between those two resources, presenting the key information in an appropriate format, through alerts and KPIs. The system described in this chapter, named hemo@care_dashboard, aims to support clinical decision-making of healthcare professionals of a specific chronic disease, providing real-time information in a push-logic through alerts and KPIs, displayed on a dashboard.
