3 Aging Society Population aged 65 and above, projection in 2020 by WHO

4 Gerontechnology The increasing needs for elderly care cannot be solved by increasing the number of care-givers. “How can technology be best used to support the needs of aging society?” Gerontechnology includes the research and development of techniques and technological products, based on the knowledge of aging processes, for the benefit of a preferred living and working environment and adapted medical care for the elderly. [Graafmans and Bouma, 1993] Although technology can greatly aid older adults, it must first be designed to accommodate their needs. There is a great need for both basic and applied research to address the usability of devices of the aged.

5 Gerontechnology Research Center (GRC)

Older adults Industrial companies Service Institutions to develop technologies, products, academic research, and educational programs in the field of Gerontechnology, Academic research Product development Advanced technologies Education Government resources GRC Academic resources Academic programs Facilities and infrastructure Human resources the Gerontechnology Research Center further integrates external resources, Yuan Ze University On the basis of the support from Yuan Ze University,

6 Gerontechnology Research Center, Yuan Ze University
Started preparation in 2000/10. Officially established in 2003/01. Medical Treatment Health Care Support of Daily Living Tele-homecare, Home telehealth Main Focus of GRC

7 Telemedicine, Telehealth, e-Health
Telemedicine generally refers to the use of communications and information technologies for the delivery of clinical care. It is the use of medical information exchanged from one site to another via electronic communications to improve patients’ health status. Telehealth is often used to encompass a broader definition of remote healthcare that does not always involve clinical services [ATA]. e-Health is a term used particularly in the UK and Europe for healthcare practice which is supported by electronic processes and communication.

8 Tele-homecare, Home telehealth
“Tele-homecare” + “Telehomecare”  54,300 hits in Google; “Home telehealth”  48,200 hits in Google; Definition: Tele-homecare can be defined as the use of information and communication technologies to enable effective delivery and management of health services at a patient’s residence. [Office of Health and Information Highway, Canada, 1998] Users: Tele-homecare differs from telemedicine in the sense that people who transmit and receive medical information are not medical doctors but the patients themselves and their families, nurses, care-givers, home-helpers and medical technical experts, etc. [Masatsugu, 2002] Goal: Home telehealth allows the patient the dignity of remaining in their own home for as long as possible and by providing care that is equal to or superior than approaches that rely solely on health providers coming into the home for scheduled visits. [ATA]

9 Philips Lifeline Service (http://www.lifelinesys.com/)
Lifeline is the first and most established Personal Emergency Response System (PERS). It was developed in 1974 by Lifeline System, Inc., which was recently acquired by Philips (2006/01). Story of a lifeline call.  On average, Lifeline costs a little more than a dollar a day, depending upon where you live. No long-term service contracts or need to purchase equipment. Over 500,000 subscribers continuously monitored.

10 Lifeline Service in Taiwan
金立盟安全科技股份有限公司結合台灣地區社福團體、衛生，醫療等單位建立生命守護連線服務，由金立盟公司自行開發的隨身發訊器及家用對講發報機，主要服務對象為年滿65歲以上患有猝發性疾病及失能的獨居長者，提供意外事件及緊急醫療事件處理、定期居家訪視、健康問題諮詢與心理衛生支持等服務，每月收費1500元（多為政府全額補助），依照一定比例分配至金立盟公司、衛生醫療單位與社福團體。 生命連線基金會引進Lifeline Systems的緊急照護服務系統，透過生命連線Call Center的服務，結合當地社會福利團體與衛生醫療單位，與金立盟生命守護連線的服務型態相同。 2006年底各縣市列冊需關懷之獨居老人人數共49,728人，其中安裝緊急救援連線有4,622人【行政院主計處】。

25 遠距居家健康照護服務分類及主導產業(I)
Personal Emergency Response System (PERS): Lifeline, Tunstall’s telecare, Card Guard, Mini Bond. Long term wellness monitoring: Tunstall’s ADL monitoring, Health Buddy System, MediCompass, Fujitsu, 亞太、真茂。 主導產業： 醫療院所：如亞東醫院、振興醫院 電信公司：如中華電信 保全公司：如中興保全 “Home Health Care Provider”：Lifeline service, Tunstall, Health Hero Network, MediComapss, Card Guard, Fujitsu, 亞太、真茂。

26 遠距居家健康照護服務分類及主導產業(II)
從不同產業出發進入遠距居家照護產業，經營的主題也不同 如醫療院所多以疾病照護為主題 電信公司則強調通信平台（特別是手機）的應用 保全公司結合通報中心、保全員之架構 “Home Health Care Provider”：常由醫療器材廠商或資訊、電子產品廠商轉型。單純由居家健康照護服務機構或醫療器材廠商推動的遠距居家健康照護系統，除了個人健康照護記錄(PHR)的經營模式，強調自我健康管理的概念之外，大多還是結合醫療機構、照護單位、政府機構、社會福利機構等，希望提供更為完整的照護服務。 Brand and Trust

27 Evaluation of Home Telehealth Systems: User Acceptance
Individual needs and perceived benefits A study by Teasdale and Roush [2001] used Lifeline to see if users felt more secure with the technology. All users reported a greater sense of security during their PERS use. Cost: device cost and monthly fee, health insurance and government subsidy User friendliness: installation and operation Data security and issues on privacy, control, choice, and dignity Whether people want their entire house wired and monitored, What activities are monitored and how, Where the information gathered goes and who sees it or has access to it, Whether the consumer has the choice to turn it off when privacy is desired, What happens to it in relation to decisions about whether a person can stay in the home or not.

28 Evaluation of Home Telehealth Systems: Clinical Outcome
Through proactive monitoring, self-care education, medication management and behavior modification to improve clinical outcome. System reliability and accuracy of the measurements at home. Who will receive and review the data, human or computer algorithm? Who will take action? Will the users change their health management attitudes and behaviors? In 2002, a VA analysis of those participating in its home health-monitoring program, similar to Health Buddy, showed a 63 percent drop in hospital admissions, a 40 percent drop in emergency room visits, a 60 percent decline in bed days of care, a 64 percent drop in nursing home admissions, and an 88 percent reduction in nursing home bed days of care. Patient satisfaction rates exceeded 90 percent.

29 Evaluation of Home Telehealth Systems: Economic Analysis
2006 “Innovative Approach to the Delivery of Healthcare” ABBY Award Winner: Health Hero Network, honored for its “Health Buddy” telehealth interface between patients at home and their providers. Health Buddy is currently in use by over 12,000 patients and has proven its worth in clinical trials: reduced hospital admissions by 63%; reduced congested heart failure (CHF) hospitalizations by 72%; reduced CHF inpatient bed days from 8.6 to 1.7; increased medication compliance from 34% to 94%; reduced CHF costs/patient/year from $25.0K to $11.8K.

30 遠距居家照護已經是完全成熟的技術，國內有許多相關研究，也已有業者推出遠距居家照護服務，然而目前仍然沒有一個商業上成功的系統
李源德院長的「COM-COM理論」：系統過度COMplex、COst過高、且使用者沒有足夠的Motivation 這些系統除了動輒上萬元的硬體費用外，使用者還必須負擔每月數百到數千元的費用訂購相關服務，花費甚至高於直接看醫生所需的費用，因此除非有強烈需求，目前為止還無法為一般使用者廣泛接受

31 除了技術的研發之外，必須發展一套適合於國內的遠距居家照護經營模式。
建立遠距居家照護系統必須考慮的問題： What is the “smallest possible” home tele-health system? 系統定位與規劃 系統建置與經營 服務程序 營運模式 資通訊架構 系 統 成 效 評 估 外部資源結合與標準、法令限制

33 Advantages of the Decentralized Home Telehealth System Structure
This system is a user-centered, product-oriented system instead of a service-oriented system. The system can be easily adapted and implemented in a home environment at a very low cost. The user does not have to subscribe to service from the home healthcare provider. Health monitoring data is stored within the household. Only authorized caregivers can access the data. Privacy is more greatly protected. The route from the sensor to server is much shorter. Data transmission is easier and more reliable. Data integrity will be better preserved. The distributed structure of the system can be adapted to integrate with a centralized database and the home healthcare provider.

41 TRIC – Telepresence Robot for Interpersonal Communication
Aging is associated with an increased risk for isolation. The main aim behind TRIC’s development is to allow elderly populations to remain in their home environments, while loved ones and caregivers are able to maintain a higher level of communication than via traditional methods. TRIC aims to be a low-cost, lightweight robot, which can be easily implemented in the home environment.
