A Prototype of Integrated Remote Patient Monitoring System
The ongoing global shortage of healthcare personnel, exacerbated by demographic changes and the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, has highlighted the need for efficient workforce utilization and innovative technological support in healthcare. This paper presents LifeLink Monitoring, a prototype of an integrated remote patient monitoring system designed to optimize clinical workflows, support medical personnel, and enhance patient care without replacing human expertise. The system enables real-time patient observation through AI-powered devices, providing automated alerts, live video feeds, and intelligent task management to reduce the burden of non-clinical duties on healthcare professionals. Applications include hospitals, hospices, home care, and remote locations. Key features include seamless integration with medical devices and national health records, advanced computer vision and audio analysis, multi-level deployment models, and a blockchain-secured architecture ensuring high data privacy and cybersecurity standards. Additionally, LifeLink incorporates an entertainment module aimed at improving patient emotional well-being. The solution represents a convergence of artificial and human intelligence to improve healthcare delivery, personnel efficiency, and patient outcomes.
