Towards improved performance and compliance in healthcare using wearables and bluetooth technologies

چکیده
Performance and compliance in hospitals are particularly challenging due to the nature of care variability, and the humanintensive clinical activities involved. There is a need to collect fine-grained measurements to enact performance and governance effectively. Modern wearable technologies, such as smart watches, provide a significant opportunity towards facilitating the gathering of such fine-grained data points such as location. However, indoor localization using wearables is limited due to many factors, including signal sensitivity, interference, and variations in manufacturers specifications. This paper introduces a domain problem from healthcare, demonstrates empirically the limitations with today’s wearables, and outlines novel approaches to dealing with such limitations. Specifically, we demonstrate how modern wearables can be deployed to collect fine-grained performance measures and facilitate governance.
