The prime objective of the ChroNoct project is to develop and cocreate a platform to monitor nocturnal vital signs remotely by using Sleepiz’ radar-based contactless technology for the diagnosis, management and prediction of chronic respiratory disorders amongst the elderly population. To gather requirement, progressive usability studies throughout the course of product development and surveys/interviews with all direct stakeholders will be performed. Key end users include elderly individuals (active at home and supported at home), caregivers and physicians (specialists and general practitioners). The main challenge is understanding all user requirements and promoting the platform to both doctors and senior citizens as adoptability may present itself as an obstacle. The requirements and issues provided by elderly individuals as well as healthcare professionals will be direct inputs into the product prototypes. Integration of the platform into the
current healthcare ecosystem is the ideal end-result and hence customisation of the product is a necessity.
Objectives:
The global healthcare system is under immense pressure and the rising aging population adds to it. To minimise this added burden, a system needs to be in place that enables doctors to speed up their processes whilst enabling elderly individuals to stay healthy for longer. The prime objective of the ChroNoct project is to develop and cocreate an end-end platform to monitor nocturnal vital signs remotely by using Sleepiz’ radar-based contactless technology and advanced machine learning algorithms for the diagnosis, management and prediction of chronic respiratory disorders amongst the elderly population.
Expected results & Impact:
The ChroNoct system would enable physicians and home care providers to provide a completely contactless and remote monitoring device that sits on the elderly individual’s bed side table to capture vital health parameters (breathing rate, heart rate and body motion) during their sleep to predict, manage and diagnose chronic respiratory diseases such as Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease (COPD); including exacerbation (worsening) of the disease. Following the project, the expected time to market is 18 months, and the initial markets targeted will be the partner’s nation and countries within the geographic vicinity.
