Evaluation of Home-based Sensor System to Detect Health Decompensation in Elderly Patients With History of CHF or COPD

Feasibility of Home-based, Ambient Passive Sensor Technology to Provide Early Warning of Health Decompensation by Detecting Deviations in Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) of Elderly Subjects With Diagnosed Chronic Disease

Sensorum Health (Sensorum) is conducting a pilot study to determine if Sensorum's proprietary passive sensor network can be used to identify signals of early health decompensation in subjects prior to a hospitalization for chronic disease exacerbation or other ambulatory care sensitive conditions. Successful early detection would provide a window of opportunity to intervene outside of the acute setting in future interventional studies.
