The COVID-19 pandemic has created unprecedented challenges to healthcare services. Concerns about hospital services being overwhelmed led National Health Service(NHS) institutions to develop novel approaches to caring for patients with suspected COVID-19. These include virtual hospitals(VH) where patients who have come to the attention of hospital services and need close monitoring, but do not necessarily need inpatient care, are followed remotely by hospital-based clinicians. VHs are particularly valuable during periods of high disease prevalence, when inpatient hospital services are struggling to cope.

OBS

virtual hospital; VH: designations validated by Canadian subject-matter experts from the National Research Council of Canada, and from the Université de Montréal and the Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Rehabilitation of Greater Montreal.

El concepto de este proyecto es el de un "hospital virtual", "este se refiere al monitoreo remoto de los signos vitales que se consideran relevantes según el especialista médico, de acuerdo a la patología del paciente entre las que se encuentran pacientes postraumáticos, pacientes geriátricos, pacientes con enfermedades terminales, con el fin de observar y analizar sus signos desde una central de monitoreo por un especialista médico. En la práctica, el paciente podría encontrarse en su casa y el médico encargado desde una central de monitoreo, ubicado en el hospital del sector, observaría desde una terminal adecuada los signos vitales de dicho paciente y la imagen del mismo en instantes del día que se consideren necesarios, de manera que con ayuda de una interfaz adecuada pueda evaluar los signos de múltiples pacientes."
