Abstract:

In the rapidly evolving landscape of healthcare, this research paper delves into the nuanced exploration of patient-centric and ambient sensors and their profound impact on healthcare settings. Patient-centric sensors, meticulously crafted to monitor individual health parameters, and ambient sensors, tuned to collect data from the surrounding environment, stand at the forefront of technological advancements in the healthcare sector. This study meticulously assesses the performance and implications of these sensors in a multifaceted manner, delving into their efficacy in enhancing patient outcomes, optimizing healthcare efficiency, and elevating the overall quality of care. The investigative journey embarks upon an exhaustive literature review, methodological scrutiny, and meticulous analysis of results, offering a comprehensive understanding of the dynamic interplay between sensor technologies and healthcare. As the paper unfolds, it unravels insights into the potential benefits that these sensors bring to the healthcare domain while also shedding light on the challenges that may accompany their adoption. By contributing to the ongoing discourse on the integration of sensor technologies in healthcare, this research augments the collective knowledge base, providing valuable perspectives on how these innovations contribute to the evolution of patient-centered care and the overall delivery of healthcare services. The findings presented herein serve as a roadmap for future endeavors, guiding the healthcare community toward harnessing the full potential of sensor technologies for the betterment of patient well-being and healthcare practices.
