Comparative case study shows wearable tech reduces monitoring errors by 20%, suggesting improved RPM in Nigeria.
Wearable technology has emerged as a promising tool for improving health outcomes in remote patient monitoring (RPM). In Nigeria, Federal Medical Centers are pivotal healthcare institutions that could benefit from integrating wearable tech to enhance RPM services. A comparative case study approach was employed, examining data from three federal medical centers. Quantitative analysis included survey responses and technical performance metrics. Wearable technology integration showed a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in patient monitoring errors by 20% across all sites compared to traditional methods. The study concludes that the adoption of wearable tech significantly enhances RPM efficiency and accuracy, with potential for broader implementation within Nigerian healthcare systems. Federal medical centers should prioritise pilot projects to assess feasibility before full-scale deployment. Further research is recommended on cost-effectiveness and patient acceptance. Model estimation used θ̂=argminθ∑ᵢ(yᵢ,f_θ(xᵢ))+λθ₂², with performance evaluated using out-of-sample error.
