This watch bulletin (19 pages, in French) looks at the challenges associated with implementing remote patient monitoring devices — i.e., at-home and mobile devices used to track and manage chronic and acute medical conditions — in Quebec. Topics covered include how the use of such devices affects caregivers.
The results are drawn from a scientific and grey literature review documenting issues related to the use of connected objects in remote health monitoring, their expected benefits, and their potentially negative effects.
