Instrumentation system upgrade supports mobile personalized healthcare delivery.
Clinicians and patients need mobile tools to detect ototoxic change early and prevent hearing loss. We report on the development of an upgrade of our existing desktop-based clinical-audiological instrumentation into a mobile instrument platform which efficiently supports personalized ototoxicity monitoring on the hospital wards as well as clinic by a trained clinician. Our new wireless-enabled system also serves as the instrumentation platform for the next phase of our work which is remote healthcare delivery with patient-guided at-home ototoxicity monitoring using an evidence-based individualized SRO protocol.
