For the purpose of this review, ‘empirical material’ is defined as: • medical technology which is designed for the home setting, or • where the design or choices took into account the setting of the home, or • where the medical technology has been tested for the home and • if the medical technology is already on the market or being used in the home setting. - If the abstract or article is about: • electronic health records • ‘smart home’ • ambient intelligence • pervasive computing • software of devices • smart phone • (surgical) robots - If not conform the definition of RIVM (2013, page 15) of ‘complex medical technology’. Advanced medical technology or high-tech technology in the home setting is defined as technology that is part of the technical skills in nursing and meets the following conditions: • technology that is advanced or high-tech, i.e. equipment with a plug, a switch on/off button, alarm button, pause button etc.; • technology that had been applied formerly in hospital care (‘intramural’), but that is applied also often in home settings nowadays; • technology that can be categorized as ‘supporting physiological functions’, ‘administration’ or ‘monitoring’. |
