Monitoring postures and motions of hospitalized patients using sensor technology: a scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Sensor technology could provide solutions to monitor postures and motions and to help hospital patients reach their rehabilitation goals with minimal supervision. Synthesized information on device applications and methodology is lacking.

Objectives

The purpose of this scoping review was to provide an overview of device applications and methodological approaches to monitor postures and motions in hospitalized patients using sensor technology.

Methods

A systematic search of Embase, Medline, Web of Science and Google Scholar was completed in February 2023 and updated in March 2024. Included studies described populations of hospitalized adults with short admission periods and interventions that use sensor technology to objectively monitor postures and motions.
