Home monitoring technologies are portable and flexible, allowing disease monitoring and screening in a variety of settings. This includes making domiciliary care more robust or easing waiting lists in hospitals by allowing more shared care and monitoring to take part in the community. How do we as practitioners decide which of the many technologies being released are reliable and how do we compare them. This presentation will give some insights into what to look out and discuss the new standard being developed for home monitoring technologies.

Learning outcomes: 

• Practitioners will describe key features of home monitoring technologies and evaluate criteria used to compare their reliability, clinical validity, and suitability for disease monitoring in community and domiciliary settings
• Practitioners will recognise how emerging standards and governance frameworks for home monitoring technologies support its integration into shared care pathways
