Paper Abstract:
|
Background: Ambient assisted living care products are used for the monitoring of the well-being and rehabilitation efforts of patients and senior citizens. These technologies require a high data quality level in order to be valid. Objectives: To present the findings from a structured and independent data quality assessment method applied to five AAL and care products and provide recommendations for the field. Results: We found a lack of relevant independent effectiveness and efficacy studies and other technology assessments in the literature with regard to the five AAL products that were evaluated in the study. Furthermore, there was a lack of interest on behalf of the vendors to deliver their equipment for efficacy testing at our laboratory facilities. Conclusion: We suggest that all AAL care products should be duly evaluated for their efficacy levels in a structured and standardized manner by an independent organization before being implementation in the clinic. |
