The population of older adults (>65 years old) is growing both in Canada and abroad. In 2018, there were 6.4 million older adults (aged 65 and over, with 1.6 million aged 80 or older) in Canada [1]. This population is expected to increase to between 12.3 and 16.1 million (aged 65 and over, with between 4.7 and 6.3 million aged 80 or older) by 2068 [1]. With age comes a greater reliance on healthcare services as age-related health conditions become more prevalent. In order to reduce the expected strain on the Canadian healthcare system, researchers here and around the world have focused on the idea of remote health monitoring.

使用压力敏感技术的基于床的健康监测：回顾

加拿大和国外的老年人口（> 65岁）都在增长。2018年，加拿大有640万老年人（65岁及以上，其中160万年龄在80岁或以上）[1]。到2068年，预计该人口将增加到12.3到1610万（65岁及以上，年龄在80岁以上的年龄在4.7到630万之间）[1]。随着年龄的增长，与年龄有关的健康状况变得越来越普遍，人们对医疗服务的依赖也越来越大。为了减少对加拿大医疗系统的预期压力，全球和各地的研究人员都将重点放在了远程健康监控的想法上。
