在制定诊断和治疗策略时可以使用先进的信息技术，为糖尿病患者提供更好的护理。然而，尚未在糖尿病患者中调查使用技术进步的需求和需求水平。我们提出并开发了一个个性化的，无处不在的（U）-医疗保健服务，使用先进的信息技术，更有效的血糖控制。在我们的服务启动之前，我们调查了患者的需求和其他相关信息。在2009年8月期间，我们在韩国两家医院的40岁以上糖尿病患者中进行了一项34项问卷调查。228名参与者的平均年龄为61.2±9岁，男性占样本的49.1%。71%的人回答说，他们想要个性化的医疗服务，他们还希望通过手机或个人数字助理（40.4%）等移动的设备提供健康信息。大多数患者从未听说过U-healthcare服务（81.1%）;然而，在解释了这个概念后，71.1%的参与者回答说，如果提供服务，他们会使用该服务。尽管他们愿意，但参与者关注使用服务的技术困难（26.3%）以及服务的成本（29.8%）。目前的研究表明，超过70%的糖尿病患者有兴趣使用U-医疗服务。为了鼓励广泛使用，U-医疗保健服务的应用程序或设备应该简单，易于使用和负担得起，同时还包括保护私人信息的政策。
Advanced information technology can be used when developing diagnostic and treatment strategies to provide better care for diabetic patients. However, the levels of need and demand for the use of technological advances have not been investigated in diabetic patients. We proposed and developed an individualized, ubiquitous (U)-healthcare service using advanced information technology for more effective glucose control. Prior to our service initiation, we surveyed patient needs and other pertinent information. During August 2009, we conducted a 34-item questionnaire survey among patients with diabetes who were older than 40 years in two certain hospitals in Korea. The mean age of the 228 participants was 61.2±9 years, and males made up 49.1% of the sample. Seventy-one percent replied that they wanted individualized healthcare service, and they also wanted their health information to be delivered through mobile devices such as a cellular phone or a personal digital assistant (40.4%). Most patients had never heard of U-healthcare services (81.1%); however, after explaining the concept, 71.1% of participants responded that they would use the service if it was provided. Despite their willingness, participants were concerned about technical difficulty in using the service (26.3%) as well as the cost of the service (29.8%). The current study suggests that more than 70% of diabetic patients are interested in using U-healthcare services. To encourage widespread use, the application program or device of U-healthcare services should be simple, easy to use and affordable while also including a policy for the protection of private information.
