Systematic Literature Review for Telehealth System in Monitoring Heart Failure for Midlife Individuals

Abstract

Heart failure is one of the leading causes of mortality in both developing and developed nations, with strokes and other brain illnesses coming in second and third. In terms of patient numbers, hospitalization rates, and expenses, it is one of the most pressing healthcare concerns. This study investigates the research trend for e-health applications and systems in the field of telemonitoring of heart failure since 2010, by conducting systematic literature review (SLR) on publications made available in several scientific databases, such as ACM Digital Library, IEEE Xplore, Science Direct, Google Scholar, and PubMed. The articles that portray most interest concerning evaluation of success and failure, treatment, prevention, self-empowerment, and patient satisfaction, were picked. Since 2010, almost 100 publications on telemonitoring of heart failure have been discovered, with the most relevant ones being chosen based on scientific value. Many of them demonstrate that telemonitoring of patients at high risk of heart failure is an effective way to lower the chance of developing the heart failure condition. Following the review, it can be concluded that telemonitoring systems can assist in lowering the expenses of treating heart failure, resulting in fewer re-hospitalization of patients. In addition to that, rural and distant residents are typically happy with telehealth as a way of service delivery since it may enhance access to health care while avoiding the difficulty of travel.
