Summary:
Healthcare of elderly and people with neuromuscular disorders or diseases after discharge from the hospital has been one of the highest priorities in the last decade. The increasing number of aged population significantly increased the number of outpatient services, interventions and consequently affected the health care budget. Application of novel technologies, e.g. wireless technologies, smart sensors and efficient mathematical algorithms, may contribute to the less frequent outpatient services due to the possible remote monitoring of major life functions such as blood pressure, heart rate, weight, mobility, facial changes, movement patterns and others.
