Retrieve insights into
key effusion
parameters in the
elderly

At the forefront of healthcare delivery, a critical process in palliative or terminal elderly cases is monitoring and retrieving critical insights into patient health patterns. Especially with conditions like pleural effusion, data needs to be recovered from the fluid on a real-time basis to avoid possible deterioration episodes.

Due to barriers such as lack of information or communication, physicians find it challenging to retrieve accurate data on fluid parameters from patients.

This case study gives valuable insight into how a leading effusion equipment manufacturer partnered with HARMAN to provide a remote monitoring solution for pleural effusion in the elderly by:

• Creating an interactive application that can monitor and retrieve key effusive parameters from fluid collection bags
• Ensuring secure data transmission between patient-care providers
• Retrieving and analyzing relevant patient-reported outcomes for future research purposes
