The incidence of heart failure (HF) remains high and patients with HF are at risk for frequent hospitalisations. Remote monitoring technologies may provide early indications of HF decompensation and potentially allow for optimisation of therapy to prevent HF hospitalisations. The need for reliable remote monitoring technology has never been greater as the COVID-19 pandemic has led to the rapid expansion of a new mode of healthcare delivery: the virtual visit. With the convergence of remote monitoring technologies and reliable method of remote healthcare delivery, an understanding of the role of both in the management of patients with HF is critical. In this review, we outline the evidence on current remote monitoring technologies in patients with HF and highlight how these advances may benefit patients in the context of the current pandemic.

BACKGROUND Accurately measuring and monitoring patient medication adherence is a global challenge due to the absence of “gold standard” methods for adherence measurement. Recent attentions have turned towards the adoption of technologies for medication adherence monitoring as they provide the opportunity for continuous tracking of individual medication adherence behavior. Yet, current medication adherence monitoring technologies vary by their technical features and methods of adherence data capture, leading to differences in their respective advantages and limitations. Overall, there is a lack of appropriate criteria to guide the assessment of medication adherence monitoring technologies for optimal adoption and utilization. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide a concise overview and summary of current medication adherence monitoring technologies and propose a set of technology assessment criteria to aid in the development and adoption of these technologies. METHODS A literature search was conducted on PubMed, Scopus, CINAHL, and ProQuest Technology Collection (January 2010-June 2021) using the combination of keywords "medication adherence," "measurement technology," and "monitoring technology". The selection focused on studies related to medication adherence monitoring technology and its development and use. The technological features, methods of adherence data capture, and potential advantages and limitations of identified technology applications were extracted. Common, recurring elements were synthesized as potential technology assessment criteria. RESULTS Among 3865 articles retrieved, 98 remained for final review, which reported a variety of technology applications for monitoring medication adherence, including electronic pill bottles/boxes, ingestible sensors, electronic medication management systems, blister pack technology, patient self-report technology, video-based technology, and motion-sensor technology. The most commonly reported technologies included electronic pill bottles, electronic pillboxes, and ingestible sensors. Twenty-eight technology assessment criteria were identified and organized into five categories: Development Information, Technology Features, Medication Adherence Data Collection & Management, Feasibility & Implementation, and Acceptability and Usability. CONCLUSIONS This study summarized the technical features, data capture methods, and various advantages and limitations of medication adherence monitoring technology reported in the literature and proposed criteria for assessing medication adherence monitoring technologies. This collection of assessment criteria may be a useful tool to guide the development and selection of relevant technology, facilitating the optimal adoption and effective use of technology to improve medication adherence outcomes. Future studies are suggested to further validate the medication adherence monitoring technology assessment criteria and construct an appropriate technology evaluation framework.

Abstract Increasing awareness of errors and harms in institutional care settings, combined with rapid advancements in artificial intelligence, have resulted in a widespread push for implementing monitoring technologies in institutional settings. There has been limited critical reflection in gerontology regarding the ethical, social, and policy implications of using these technologies. We critically review current scholarship regarding use of monitoring technology in institutional care, and identify key gaps in knowledge and important avenues for future research and development.

Overweight Or Obesity

Abstract Mobile applications and paired devices allow individuals to self-monitor physical activity, dietary intake, and weight fluctuation concurrently. However, little is known regarding patterns of use of these self-monitoring technologies over time and their implications for weight loss. The objectives of this study were to identify distinct patterns of self-monitoring technology use and to investigate the associations between these patterns and weight change. We analyzed data from a 6-month weight loss intervention for school district employees with overweight or obesity (N = 225). We performed repeated measures latent profile analysis (RMLPA) to identify common patterns of self-monitoring technology use and used multiple linear regression to evaluate the relationship between self-monitoring technology use and weight change. RMLPA revealed four distinct profiles: minimal users (n = 65, 29% of sample), activity trackers (n = 124, 55%), dedicated all-around users (n = 25, 11%), and dedicated all-around users with exceptional food logging (n = 11, 5%). The dedicated all-around users with exceptional food logging lost the most weight (X2[1,225] = 5.27, p = .0217). Multiple linear regression revealed that, adjusting for covariates, only percentage of days of wireless weight scale use (B = −0.05, t(212) = −3.79, p < .001) was independently associated with weight loss. We identified distinct patterns in mHealth self-monitoring technology use for tracking weight loss behaviors. Self-monitoring of weight was most consistently linked to weight loss, while exceptional food logging characterized the group with the greatest weight loss. Weight loss interventions should promote self-monitoring of weight and consider encouraging food logging to individuals who have demonstrated consistent use of self-monitoring technologies.

The Right

In this chapter, some current technologies for monitoring and surveillance as well as some legal considerations regarding the application of these technologies will be discussed. The application of monitoring technology has developed from the monitoring of mere technical processes and environmental processes to the monitoring of physiological “processes” and now even of everyday human behaviour. Before discussing legal considerations, an explanation of this development is given and it is placed within a broader social perspective. This leads to an examination of the development of technology that made it possible for monitoring technologies to evolve as they did, and an analysis of norms and values resulting in a conceptual model for evaluating law in the “information society”. An overview of technologies for monitoring and surveillance will be presented. From this overview it will become clear that the use of this type of technology is growing fast. At the same time, questions arise regarding its permissibility in the light of legal and constitutions rights, such as the right to privacy. These questions are then addressed in the context of the wider social developments. Finally, it is concluded that with the increasing importance and use of surveillance technology, “monitoring the surveillors” will become essential as well.

Monitoring Technologies

Recent technology advances have enabled firms to flexibly process and analyze sophisticated employee performance data at a reduced and yet significant cost. We develop a theory of optimal incentive contracting where the monitoring technology that governs the above procedure is part of the designer's strategic planning. In otherwise standard principal–agent models with moral hazard, we allow the principal to partition agents' performance data into any finite categories, and to pay for the amount of information the output signal carries. Through analysis of the trade‐off between giving incentives to agents and saving the monitoring cost, we obtain characterizations of optimal monitoring technologies such as information aggregation, strict monotone likelihood ratio property, likelihood ratio–convex performance classification, group evaluation in response to rising monitoring costs, and assessing multiple task performances according to agents' endogenous tendencies to shirk. We examine implications of these results for workforce management and firms' internal organizations.
