Extended third generation (3.5G) wireless broadband technology creates new opportunities for remote monitoring of patients in the home by overcoming previous low bandwidth limitations.
Extended third-generation wireless networks provide economically accessible high-speed bandwidth that enables remote patient monitoring in telemedicine.
Expands technical feasibility for home monitoring; leaves open clinical validation before practice change.
Low bandwidth has long been a reason for the unsuitability of wireless internet in telemedicine. However with the advent of extended third generation wireless as an economically accessible high speed network, more opportunities are being created in this area of telemedicine. This paper explores the opportunity created by the latest wireless broadband technology for remote monitoring of patients in the home.
