Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to explore the requirements and conditions of medical teleconsultation and remote diagnostics (telemonitoring) of older people in the residential environment with an emphasis on the need for adaptation, feasibility and acceptance of telemedicine services to a web based documentation and communication platform (Ambient Assisted Living Wizard).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The technical development of the so-called "AAL Wizard" is basis for the study. The AAL-Wizard is an IHE(Integrating the Healthcare Enterprise)-compliant, web based documentation and communication platform with an integrated electronic patient record, which can be used by the study participants during the study. Vital parameters are collected with the help of certified medical products according to the guidelines "93/42/EEC(European Economic Community) on medical devices" (e.g. blood pressure devices, scales, pedometers), transmitted electronically, documented and archived directly in the system. Vital parameters out of range will be prioritized displayed in the AAL Wizard (e.g. traffic light system, short message notification, pop-up function, etc.) and the study participant will be contacted by the tele doctor (teleconsultation) . The decision on the necessary intervention (e.g. contact of the in-house home care, therapeutic and diagnostic recommendations or recommendation of a primary care consultation /hospital submission) are in the responsibility of the tele doctor based on the communication with the patient and the family doctor's recommendations for the treatment of his patient.

At the beginning of the study, the tele doctors of the Clinical Telemedicine at the University Hospital Zurich (USZ) perform an appointment with the respective study participants. The electronic patient record will be set up and the process of the telemonitoring will be defined.

Telemonitoring and Teleconsultation

Intervention Type OTHER

The interventions of this study are supported by a so-called Ambient Assisted Living Wizard (AAL Wizard). This is an IHE-compliant documentation and communication platform with an integrated electronic health record, which enables the study participants (elderly) to manage and store their relevant health data. It includes personal master data and the documentation of telemonitoring data. Additionally, the AAL-Wizard provides the communication modules such as telephone -, video- and time- and online consultation. The tele doctor assess the data (eg, vital signs and content of the medical teleconsultation) and collaborates in this way with the older person, family physicians and other health care providers based on an innovative and flexible telemedical home care service.
