Introduction

Wearable and remote monitoring technologies have gained significant popularity recently, enabling patients to track their health longitudinally and transmit data easily for storage and analysis (Liao et al., 2019). Despite their potential to redefine healthy or unhealthy behaviors, their clinical assessment remains contentious (Smuck et al., 2021). The successful deployment of these technologies within healthcare requires meticulous planning to ensure accurate implementation without alterations (Junaid et al., 2022).

This paper aims to develop an implementation plan for the utilization of wearable or remote monitoring devices to monitor and regulate individuals’ vitals, maintaining the standard of care and empowering patients to track their progress. Building upon previous assessments, which underscored the need for a thorough assessment plan and stakeholder engagement, this paper focuses on evaluating existing infrastructure, delineating roles within the inter-professional team, establishing an implementation schedule, conducting staff training, fostering collaboration between patients and healthcare professionals, and devising post-deployment maintenance and evaluation strategies.

Adequacy of Existing Telehealth Technology Infrastructure

The adequacy of the existing telehealth technology infrastructure is crucial for seamless integration of new technologies within healthcare settings, particularly in facilities catering to heart patients. Factors such as internet connectivity and device compatibility significantly influence operability, posing challenges for both healthcare facilities and remote patients. Additionally, patient literacy and healthcare professionals’ reliance on device-generated data impact utilization. Addressing these challenges necessitates timely training, education, and robust backup systems to ensure data accessibility and security.

Tasks and Responsibilities for Deployment

Assigning tasks and responsibilities for technology deployment requires collaboration among stakeholders identified in previous assessments. A committee comprising key officials, including the CEO, CFO, policymakers, and IT team, will oversee project coordination, management, and implementation. The IT team plays a pivotal role in infrastructure setup and configuration, while healthcare professionals ensure device utilization aligns with patient needs and fosters trust. Data security measures, quality assurance, and adherence to regulatory protocols further contribute to successful deployment.
