Personal medical monitoring

Forrester estimates that the market for personal medical monitoring will be 34 billion by 2015, rising from 5 billion in 2010. In 2003 they surveyed 12,000 US households in which 84% said they would, if they were ill, pay for services or equipment to help them stay in their home as long as possible. The question of who pays for such services remains a problem, as the same survey identified that only 9% of the consumers sought medical care not covered by their insurance.

Social detoxification, which involves the nonpharmacological treatment of alcohol withdrawal, has been shown to be effective (see Naranjo et al. 1983). It consists of frequent reassurance, reality orientation, monitoring of vital signs, personal attention, and general nursing care (Naranjo and Sellers 1986). Social detoxification is most appropriate for patients in mild-to-mod-erate withdrawal. The medical problems commonly associated with alcoholism (Sullivan and O Connor 2004) may substantially complicate therapy, so that care must be taken to refer patients whose condition requires medical management.
