Ensemble Sensing on Smart Werables for a better Telehealth System

TL;DR

This paper proposes ensemble sensing on everyday wearable devices to enhance telehealth reliability and ease of use, aiming to improve healthcare access for vulnerable populations.

Contribution

It introduces a novel ensemble sensing approach on common wearables that simplifies telehealth monitoring without additional sensors.

Findings

Improved reliability of telehealth monitoring

Seamless integration with everyday wearables

Enhanced accessibility for vulnerable populations

Abstract

Telehealth offers interesting avenues for improving healthcare access in vulnerable populations through use of electronic devices in the patient's home that monitor and assess for early complications. However, complication of operation and poor reliability hinders the wide acceptability of telehealth services. We propose ensemble sensing on everyday wearable devices, which does not impose the burden of carrying wearable sensors, yet offers a seamless and simple platform to deliver telehealth services.
