- Dispositivos e sistemas de Telemonitorização: Panorama atual e tendências futurasPublication . Machadeiro, Liliana Tavares; Gaspar, Pedro Miguel de Figueiredo Dinis OliveiraA prevalência de doenças crónicas está a aumentar a par do aumento da esperança média de vida ao nascimento. No futuro, o número de idosos e doentes crónicos será bastante elevada e em muitos casos os idosos serão também doentes crónicos e a patologia existirá em muitos casos em comorbidade. A par desta realidade, existirá um decréscimo de recursos de saúde o que leva à procura de soluções já hoje em dia para que no futuro sejam postas em prática de forma plena. Aliar a telemonitorização ao acompanhamento por parte dos profissionais de saúde a diversas doenças crónicas é já uma realidade, existindo no mercado mundial diversas ofertas de dispositivos e sistemas de telemonitorização utilizados em doenças como a Diabetes mellitus, Doença pulmonar obstrutiva crónica (DPOC) e asma, Doença renal, Doenças tromboembólicas e Insuficiência cardíaca. Estes dispositivos e sistemas de telemonitorização apresentam uma solução para o problema crescente de incapacidade dos sistemas de saúde de dar resposta ao aumento de doentes crónicos. A massificação do uso dos dispositivos e sistemas de telemonitorização está dependente do seu aperfeiçoamento, sendo a falta de interoperabilidade de sistemas de apoio à saúde a maior falha nestes dispositivos e sistemas. A tendência futura passa pela incorporação desta capacidade nos dispositivos e sistemas de modo a massificar a sua utilização trazendo grandes vantagens tanto ao doente crónico como aos sistemas de saúde.
- Telemonitoring Devices and Systems: Current Status and Future TrendsPublication . Machadeiro, Liliana Tavares; Gaspar, Pedro Dinis; Castelo-Branco, MiguelIn the future, the number of elderly and chronically ill will be quite large. Additionally, pathologies will in many cases be in comorbidity. Along with this reality, the health care resources will be insufficient for the population, thus the current research for technological solutions needs to be implemented in the future. There are available several telemonitoring devices and systems for chronic diseases. Massive use of these devices will be essential to address the current and future lack of health system resources. Research on telemonitoring devices and systems for chronic diseases was conducted in academic and scientific databases. The technical specifications were collected from the manufacturers’ web page. The collected data was analysed and compared in order to propose scenarios for the future trend of technical specifications required in telemonitoring devices/system. Telemonitoring for chronic diseases can bring great benefits to patient and health systems. Widening this practice will be a reality in the near future. This procedure will be fostered by the promotion and regulation of interoperability between devices/systems, as well as of front-end programs providing the link between health support systems. Interoperability issues are the main flaws of telemonitoring devices/systems on the market today.

Additionally, pathologies will in many cases be in comorbidity. Alongside this reality, the health care resources will be insufficient for the population, thus the current research for solutions that can be fully implemented in the future.
