«New experimentation. Health bracelets monitor the vital parameters of the citizens of the municipality of Longobucco 24 hours a day.” The president of the Calabria Region, Roberto Occhiuto, made this known on his social channels, publishing a video in which the functioning of the health bracelets is explained. This is illustrated by Giovanni Bisignani, coordinator of cardiology at the Asp of Cosenza, one of the Calabrian excellences in the healthcare field.
“This system – says Bisignani – represents a new way of providing healthcare, particularly useful when the distance from medical services constitutes a problem.” “This – Serena Pignataro, head of the UOS of emergency medicine in Cosenza, explains in the video – is the first experiment conducted in Italy which concerns the use of electronic bracelets for patient monitoring”. Through an application, the doctor can at any time view the patient’s main vital parameters and receive any alarm signals. When an anomaly is detected, the The system also automatically sends a signal to the clinic, allowing healthcare personnel to intervene promptly and check the situation. The data collected is displayed on a central console, where all patients wearing the bracelet are monitored. For example, it is possible to observe the trend of the heart rate: if an abnormal peak occurs, this is reported by the operations center. At that point the patient is contacted, an electrocardiogram is carried out and the result is transmitted remotely to the ASP cardiologists for analysis.
