A comprehensive pilot study was conducted to examine how remote senior monitoring of important vitals information and virtual nurse visits conducted remotely via videophone would improve seniors' adherence to care plan and enable them to remain in their homes longer. Recruitment of study individuals was conducted in the North Shore area of Chicago, Ill. Eleven seniors participated in this small scale study to keep scale issues controlled. Of the 11 participants, 8 were female. The average age was 80+ (64-89) with participants suffering from an average of 4.4 chronic conditions and requiring assistance in 3.4 activities of daily living.
开展了一项全面的试点研究，以考察对重要生命体征信息进行远程老年监测以及通过可视电话进行远程虚拟护士问诊如何能提高老年人对护理计划的依从性，并使他们能够更长时间地居家生活。研究对象在伊利诺伊州芝加哥北岸地区招募。11名老年人参与了这项小规模研究，以控制规模问题。在这11名参与者中，8名是女性。平均年龄为80多岁（64 - 89岁），参与者平均患有4.4种慢性病，在3.4项日常生活活动中需要帮助。
