Smart Technologies for post hospitalization rehabilitation at home

FY 2024-25 · 2024-05-10

Summary
Post hospitalization rehabilitation is an integral phase of healthcare. Older adults have higher risk of readmission due to inadequate rehabilitation post discharge. Built on the team’s preliminary work in the area of longitudinal monitoring of mobility, diet and nutrition, and exercise, the project will develop an integrated at home rehabilitation solution aimed to improve the post-hospitalization care to older adults at home. The Project will improve the care provided to older adults as well as the quality of life to them and their caregivers. It will also benefit the healthcare system by potentially allowing earlier discharge, increased safety, and improved patient/caregiver satisfaction. The technology and associated healthcare products and services will lead new socio-economic benefit to the private sector through commercialization.

Description (French)
La réadaptation à la sortie de l’hôpital fait partie intégrante des soins de santé. Or, les personnes âgées courent plus de risques d’être hospitalisées de nouveau en raison d’une réadaptation inadéquate une fois qu’elles ont pris congé de l’hôpital. L’équipe s’appuiera sur les résultats de ses travaux préliminaires en analyse longitudinale de la mobilité, de l’alimentation et de la nutrition ainsi que du conditionnement physique pour élaborer une méthode de réadaptation susceptible d’améliorer l’issue des soins post-hospitaliers prodigués aux personnes âgées, à domicile. Le projet rehaussera les soins fournis à ces dernières ainsi que leur qualité de vie et celle des soignants. Il contribuera aussi à l’amélioration du système de soins de santé par un congé éventuellement plus rapide de l’hôpital, une sécurité accrue et un plus grand degré de satisfaction du patient comme du soignant. Une fois commercialisés, la technologie et les produits et services médicaux qui en découlent se traduiront par de nouvelles retombées socioéconomiques pour le secteur privé.
