New wearable communication technology bypasses Wi-Fi and delivers a long-term, long-distance solution for transmitting health data in rural regions, a new report shows.
Senior housing and senior living communities in rural areas often lack the infrastructure necessary to incorporate the latest internet or wireless technologies.
However, researchers have developed a separate data transmission system that can send info up to 15 miles away, without the need for satellites or antennas as intermediaries. That range is longer than other wireless technology systems, the researchers say.
“Remote patient monitoring is a critical tool for diagnostics and therapeutics, especially in sparsely populated areas,” the researchers noted. “This long-range capability [we’ve developed] has the potential to serve resource-constrained and remote areas, providing equitable...
