A Range Review of Remote Monitoring Influence on Elderly Rehabilitation Effectiveness

Abstract

Background: The increase in the global elderly population has escalated the need for management of chronic and multiple diseases, spotlighting the potential of remote monitoring technology in elderly rehabilitation. This paper aims to systematically assess the impact of remote monitoring technology on the effectiveness of elderly rehabilitation. Methods: Following JBI guidelines and PRISMA-ScR methods, this review applied the PCC framework to retrieve and analyze data from multiple databases and gray literature sources. Methods included data extraction, quality assessment, and descriptive analysis. Results: Fourteen articles indicated that remote monitoring, especially through wearable devices, reduces complications, readmission rates, and enhances patient adherence and quality of life. However, challenges remain in technology acceptance, privacy protection, cost control, and management of multiple diseases. Conclusion: Although remote monitoring technology has the potential to improve personalized care, adherence, and quality of life in elderly care, its application remains immature. Further research and development are required to address the adaptability issues of elderly patients and to provide effective intervention strategies for healthcare professionals.
