Abstract:

For people with chronic conditions, people recovering from an illness or surgery, frail older people with complex needs, and people with disabilities, quality home health care and community services are vital to help them to live independently and well in their homes.1-3 Integrated care at home may help reduce their use of expensive inpatient care, help early discharge from hospitals and the delivery of rehabilitation programs.3 From the viewpoint of healthcare professionals, the effective and continuous monitoring of patients’ health status and communication with patients are the basis of providing appropriate diagnosis, treatment, and care.4,5 However, home health care faces the challenges of patient education, patient self-management, patient-clinician communication and remote clinical monitoring.6 Furthermore, it also requires health and social care workers from multiple backgrounds and different organizations and units (e.g. hospitals, subacute units, nursing homes, primary care services, community services) to work effectively together, but this has not been well achieved.7 To improve the situation, significant attention and research effort has recently been focused on the development of emerging technologies for home health care to support person-centred integrated care, and more specifically, the development of technologies and virtual platforms to support the monitoring of patient conditions, remote delivery of home health care, improvement of patients’ compliance to care programs as well as patient-clinician and clinician-clinician communications.8–13 The primary objective of this special issue is to foster focused attention in this emerging area and to serve as a forum for researchers and healthcare professionals to exchange and discuss the latest advances in technologies and issues in practices. This special issue targets on new models, novel technologies and systems that support patient monitoring and remote delivery of home health services, addressing design, user experience, implementation and impact. Our call for submissions had received positive responses from the community. After a rigorous peer-reviewed process, five papers were accepted based on their quality and relevance to the theme of this special issue. In the following sections, we introduce each of the special issue papers and conclude the editorial with future opportunities.
