As the proportion of older adults increases globally, digitalhealth innovations (particularly wearables) could transform the future of healthy aging. Perspective from JWangnano & colleagues UCSanDiego, part of our focus on Building Healthy Populations
. The application of CGM for delivering precise insulin doses in a closed-loop manner is rapidly advancing. The extensive historical and technological lessons from using such digital technologies for diabetes care are currently guiding the development of wearable platforms for monitoring the progression and treatment of various other diseases and for improving patient care.
We envision that such smart homes for older adults will rely on a fully integrated home monitoring system network, combining a variety of body-worn sensing devices and electronic surveillance devices within a wireless communication network and a cloud analytics platform . The resulting system will continuously monitor the health, activities and well being of the residents and be interfaced with big data processing and alert systems to inform caregivers remotely about abnormal changes.
