- O Futuro da Monitorização de Idosos: Integração da Realidade Aumentada para Auxílio na Prestação de CuidadosPublication . MARTINS, RAFAEL GONÇALVES; Conceição, Luis Manuel Silva; Marreiros, Maria Goreti CarvalhoRemote patient monitoring systems are a viable approach to address the evolving needs of healthcare facilities. However, while conventional systems can reduce constant in-person supervision, they require caregivers to remain near a computer, presenting a challenge since caregiving is inherently a hands-on role and requires freedom of movement. This dissertation project designed and implemented an augmented reality window-based interface system, AleRa, that overlays patient information onto the caregiver’s field of vision, fetched from a FHIR compliant server that is part of the RM4Health ITEA project’s architecture. AleRa aimed to explore if augmented reality could enable continuous monitoring while allowing caregivers to remain actively engaged in direct patient care, improving response time to changes in health conditions. Sixteen participants tested the system in a case study, praising its intuitiveness, visual quality, and strong potential as a helping tool for caregivers. Improving responsiveness of certain interface elements, and lowering the dependency on the companion mobile app, were the main constructive feedback, with other additional features also being suggested for future work. Overall, the dissertation project achieved its objectives, made relevant scientific contributions to augmented reality and health monitoring through implementation and publications, and contributed to the dissemination of related international projects.
