通过信息技术促进疾病管理可能意味着朝着对慢性病患者进行更有效和高效的护理迈出了一步。本文以糖尿病为重点，探讨了无线技术在加强患者自我管理和生活质量方面的价值主张。糖尿病患者不遵守规定的治疗方案，这就要求采用先进的工具，通过自动化功能（例如，服药通知提醒）、决策支持（例如，自我检测数据分析和反馈）以及随时随地的沟通和干预能力（例如，医疗从业者的紧急咨询）为患者提供支持。对糖尿病患者移动自我管理的成本效益分析表明，患者和医疗服务提供者都能节省时间和费用。
Disease management facilitated through information technology could mean a step forward towards a more effective and efficient care of patients afflicted with chronic illnesses. Focusing on diabetes, the paper explores the value proposition of wireless technology in enhancing patient self-management and quality of life. Diabetics' non-compliance with prescribed treatment plans mandates the adoption of advanced tools that can support patients through automated functions (e.g., notification reminders for taking medication), decision-support (e.g., analysis of self-test data and feedback), and anytime/anywhere communication and intervention capability (e.g., emergency consultation by healthcare practitioner). A cost-benefit analysis for the mobile self-management of diabetics suggests time and financial savings for both patients and the healthcare providers.
