The Loop Healthcare team has developed an in-home monitoring system using passive sensing to detect subtle health changes. This system supports clinical decisions by identifying early signs of health issues, allowing for timely intervention. Various sensors, including motion, gait, and bed sensors, are used to monitor activity and physiological parameters. The system has been deployed in senior housing facilities and aims to integrate home and hospital data for comprehensive health management.
