Secure patient monitoring and self-management using brain expression interpreter

Abstract

This article presents a brief description of an experimental system designed for self-managing and monitoring of patients having difficulties in verbal communication. A vital role of the proposed system is to engage individuals to be effective self-managers of their own health. Technology-based interventions to support self-management across the spectrum of chronic diseases have the potential to reach a broader population of patients. We believe that studies featuring extensive research of self-management of patients with different chronic conditions are needed to explore the interaction of technology-based interventions. © 2013 Springer Science+Business Media.
