Home Monitoring in Health Care Conference
Home Monitoring in Health Care Conference
Dr. Homer Yang, Chair/Chief of Anesthesia & Perioperative Medicine, brought together local innovators to learn more about their current projects and help collaborate on future goals, at the Home Monitoring in Health Care Conference. Inspired by Dr. Yang’s research in post-operative home monitoring, the conference had the goal of learning about projects being done here in London. These projects focus on monitoring patients using new technologies, throughout their healthcare journey.
“In London, there are many excellent initiatives on remote patient care and monitoring, ranging from mobile apps on smartphones to wearables to multicomponent interventions. As typical of busy clinicians and researchers, these pockets of excellence have been developing in isolation. This conference is an attempt to bring together all the pioneers and to exchange ideas,” said Dr. Yang.
