title: Instrumentation system upgrade supports mobile personalized healthcare delivery.
abstract: 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.
