Abstract

: Crohn ’ s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two most common subtypes of in fl ammatory bowel disease. Most studies show that this patient population is increasing in incidence. Patients with these diseases require lifelong care by experienced practitioners however the traditional medical model is not ideal for patients who require continuous close monitoring and whose symptoms may dramatically worsen between regularly scheduled visits. Patients with uncontrolled disease may experience abdominal pain, diarrhea, and rectal bleeding and such patients are at increased risk for complications that may necessitate hospitalization and emergency surgery. Traditional medical care can be supplemented by telemedicine, which is the delivery of health care through remote electronic communication, for example, through web-based computer or smartphone applications. Here we describe several studies that highlight the many ways in which telemedicine can augment and improve patient care through telemonitoring, telemanagement, televisit, and teleconsultation.

远程医疗在炎症性肠病管理中的最新进展
克罗恩病和溃疡性结肠炎是两种最常见的炎症性肠病亚型。大多数研究表明,这一患者群体的发病率正在增加。患有这些疾病的患者需要由经验丰富的医生进行终身护理,然而传统的医疗模式对于需要持续密切监测并且在定期就诊期间症状可能急剧恶化的患者来说并不理想。疾病不受控制的患者可能会出现腹痛、腹泻和直肠出血,这些患者发生并发症的风险增加,可能需要住院治疗和紧急手术。传统的医疗保健可以通过远程医疗加以补充,远程医疗是通过远程电子通信,例如通过基于网络的计算机或智能手机应用程序提供保健服务。在这里,我们描述了几项研究,这些研究强调了远程医疗可以通过远程监控、远程管理、电视访问和远程咨询来增强和改善患者护理的许多方法。
