Existing technologies like pulse oximeters, glucose meters, EKG and ECG sensors presently allow for the monitoring of the elderly and patients with chronic diseases as well as general lifestyle tracking (Bachmann et al, 2012). Zeo and Fitbit are examples of commercially available monitoring equipment that has been adopted by the public in recent years. However, there is no backend infrastructure that goes along with this type of hardware. Due to the current limitations of live analysis and the lack of signal interpretation, these tools provide only nonessential functions. For example, a patient would need a trained physician to analyze an EKG signature.<br/> | Existing technologies like pulse oximeters, glucose meters, EKG and ECG sensors presently allow for the monitoring of the elderly and patients with chronic diseases as well as general lifestyle tracking (Bachmann et al, 2012).
