This systematic review examines four themes of device-based remote monitoring (DRM): technology, patient monitoring and support, integration of DRM into clinical care, and patient engagement, and their impact on hospital service use. We included randomized controlled trials (RCTs) until 2024 comparing hospital service use in DRM with usual care. Hospital service use decreased in DRM in 72% of the 116 included RCTs.

This systematic review examines the components of technology used in device-based monitoring and its impact on hospital service use. The most impactful remote monitoring interventions were those measuring vital signs and behavior, while non-implantable devices had less impact on hospital service use.

Methods: There is a gap between mHealth research and its widespread uptake in clinical practice. Evidence generation is not keeping up with the introduction and implementation of technologies.
Unlabelled: Numerous evidence-based trauma therapies for children and adolescents have been developed over several decades to minimize the negative outcomes of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). However, PTSD remains a complex construct and is associated with pervasive problems and high comorbidity. To gain more insight, much could be learnt from the similarities in trauma therapies.

It is important to involve nurses to ensure successful implementation. This paper aims to provide an overview of 1) factors affecting implementation of continuous monitoring using wireless wearable sensors by evaluating nurses' experiences with its use on the nursing ward, and 2) nurses' expectations for use in the home setting.
