AIOTI WG Health published a paper on remote monitoring sensors.
This technology is quietly revolutionising how we care for ourselves and others. From monitoring chronic conditions at home to predicting falls in elderly patients, these technologies offer real-time insights that empower individuals and caregivers alike. Elderly persons can live more independently, patients recovering from surgery can be monitored from home, and healthcare professionals can make better-informed decisions with real-time data at their disposition.
This transformation has been embraced also at the institutional level. European regulatory frameworks like the GDPR and the upcoming AI Act are setting the stage for responsible and ethical deployment of these systems.
However, questions of data privacy, technological readiness, and equitable access must be answered with urgency. Despite of this, the promise is clear: remote monitoring sensors are enablers of a healthier, more connected society where health and well-being are continuously supported, regardless of place, age, or ability.
