Guest speaker Juris Klonovs will present his publication on state-of-the-art sensor technologies for palliative care. This book by Springer Publishing examines the use of distributed computing systems and monitoring technologies to support older patients. It covers solutions based on sensors, telemedicine, and intelligent data analysis systems, enabling real-time health monitoring, enhancing patient safety and quality of life, and reducing the workload for caregivers and medical staff.

This guidance, developed by specialists in paediatric neurology and palliative care, concentrates on managing dystonia in children with life-limiting conditions. Dystonia is among the most challenging and draining symptoms in paediatric palliative care. Drawing on international experience, the authors offer consensus recommendations on diagnosing, monitoring, and treating dystonia, covering both pharmacological and non-pharmacological methods. Special focus is given to improving the quality of life for the child and family, as well as on the role of multidisciplinary teams in creating personalised care plans. The guidance aims to enhance clinical practice and promote further research in this area.

Researchers examined which sensor systems are most dependable for monitoring patients with limited mobility. Two approaches were compared: wearable devices (such as accelerometers that record movement) and contextual sensors embedded in the environment (cameras, radars). The results showed that wearable sensors deliver the highest accuracy in data collection and enable prompt detection of changes in a patient’s condition, while contextual systems often produced false alarms and raised concerns about patient privacy. The findings are especially significant for palliative care professionals working with immobilised patients: using reliable wearable devices can help reduce the risk of complications, ensure patient safety and comfort, and decrease the workload for healthcare staff while respecting the patient’s personal space.

Excelente alternativa en cuidados paliativos para mantenerse actualizado.
Ojalá tengamos más participación y oportunidades de voz y dejar de ser invisibles en el mundo algunos paliativistas que le ponemos alma y corazón a los cuidados paliativos sobre todo en países hispanoamericanos donde el acceso es escaso o nulo. Felicidades a los creadores de este espacio. Éxitos
