The support system for discharge from hospital with bidirectional IT communications

在本研究中，我们进行了一项干预研究，以阐明可视电话系统如何有效地用于家庭护理糖尿病患者的生活方式指导重点饮食。在为期3个月的时间里，糖尿病患者通过可视电话系统与医疗专业人员进行双向交流，每周一次，每次30分钟。我们发现，糖尿病患者与医疗专业人员通过每周一次的可视电话系统进行为期3个月的双向交流，可以显著降低体重、BMI和平均HbA1c水平。利用可视电话系统进行双向定期通信，具有良好的视觉效果，可作为糖尿病患者在家中控制体重和血糖的有效措施之一。

In the present study, we conducted an intervention study to clarify how effectively videophone system was used in the life style guidance focusing diet for the diabetic patients cared at home. For the period of 3 months, diabetic patients were communicated with a medical professional bi-directionally through the videophone system for 30 minutes once a week. We showed that 3-month bi-directional communication using the videophone system once a week between diabetes patients and medical professional resulted in a significant decrease in the body weight, the BMI, and the average HbA1c level. The bidirectional regular communications using a videophone system for visual effect can be useful and it might be one of the effective measures for the control ofBW and hyperglycemia in the dairy life for a diabetic patient at home.
