The Hospital Without Walls
Telemedicine, Hospital at Home and continuous remote monitoring.
The chapter describes the expansion of care beyond the physical walls of the hospital through telemedicine, "Hospital at Home" programs and continuous remote monitoring of chronic or recovering patients. Combined with sensors and predictive AI, this decentralization makes it possible to spot signs of clinical worsening from a distance and intervene before an admission, redesigning the very idea of where and how healthcare happens.
