Waiting to Exhale: The Feasibility and Appropriateness of Home Blood Oxygen Monitoring in Oncology Patients Post-Hospital Discharge.

Purpose: Pulse oximetry remote patient monitoring (RPM) post-hospital discharge increased during the COVID-19 pandemic as patients and providers sought to limit in-person encounters and provide more care in the home. However, there is limited evidence on the feasibility and appropriateness of pulse oximetry RPM in patients with cancer after hospital discharge.

Methods And Materials: This feasibility study enrolled oncology patients discharged after an unexpected admission at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center from October 2020 to July 2021.

Oncology Clinicians' Perspectives of a Remote Patient Monitoring Program: A Multi-Modal Case Study Approach.

Background: Remote patient monitoring (RPM) aims to improve patient access to care and communication with clinical providers. Overall, understanding the usability of RPM applications and their influence on clinical care workflows is limited from the perspectives of clinician end users at a cancer center in the Northeast, United States.

Objective: Explore the usability and functionality of RPM and elicit the perceptions and experiences of oncology clinicians using RPM for oncology patients after hospital discharge.

Digitally Enabled Transitional Care Management in Oncology.

Purpose: Improving care transitions for patients with cancer discharged from the hospital is considered an important component of quality care. Digital monitoring has the potential to better the delivery of transitional care through improved patient-provider communication and enhanced symptom management. However, remote patient monitoring (RPM) interventions have not been widely implemented for oncology patients after discharge, an innovative setting in which to apply this technology.

Automated, high-throughput quantification of EGFP-expressing neutrophils in zebrafish by machine learning and a highly-parallelized microscope.

Normal development of the immune system is essential for overall health and disease resistance. Bony fish, such as the zebrafish (Danio rerio), possess all the major immune cell lineages as mammals and can be employed to model human host response to immune challenge. Zebrafish neutrophils, for example, are present in the transparent larvae as early as 48 hours post fertilization and have been examined in numerous infection and immunotoxicology reports.

Parallelized computational 3D video microscopy of freely moving organisms at multiple gigapixels per second.

Wide field of view microscopy that can resolve 3D information at high speed and spatial resolution is highly desirable for studying the behaviour of freely moving model organisms. However, it is challenging to design an optical instrument that optimises all these properties simultaneously. Existing techniques typically require the acquisition of sequential image snapshots to observe large areas or measure 3D information, thus compromising on speed and throughput.
