项目摘要

Abstract Twenty percent of the U.S. population resides in rural communities. In rural areas, residents need to travel greater distances to access specialty services of the healthcare system. Typically, healthcare facilities in these rural areas are small and provide limited services. Often, due to geographic distance, extreme weather conditions, environmental and climatic barriers, lack of public transportation, and challenging roads, rural residents may be limited or prohibited from accessing specialty health care services. In this phase II proposal, Koronis Biomedical Technologies (KBT) proposes a system to overcome some of these barriers by monitoring cystic fibrosis (CF) patients at home. Currently, the standard of care for reoccurring CF respiratory exacerbations includes coming to a specialized CF clinic or the hospital for pulmonary function evaluation when symptoms occur. Pulmonary function tests help clinicians know when lung function has declined. However, clinicians currently do not monitor lung function at home, nor do clinicians have any insight on therapy adherence. There are currently 120 CF centers in the U.S. accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with only five in the entire states of Minnesota (2), North/South Dakota (2), Montana (1) and Wyoming (0). In many cases, patients travel a long distance to reach these specialized CF centers. The proposed system creates an innovative home system that connects patients in rural areas with clinicians and provides a feedback loop between therapy and diagnostic monitoring. The phase II proposal will develop a web application that will allow secure remote access to pulmonary function data and therapy adherence. This system will provide a means of early detection of pulmonary exacerbation and reducing the number of costly and stressful hospitalizations and clinic visits.

抽象的美国20％的人口居住在农村社区。在农村地区，居民需要旅行访问医疗系统专业服务的距离更大。通常，其中的医疗机构农村地区很小，提供有限的服务。通常，由于地理距离，极端天气条件，环境和气候障碍，缺乏公共交通以及挑战性道路，农村居民可能受到限制或禁止获得专业医疗服务。在此第二阶段提案中， Koronis生物医学技术（KBT）提出了一种通过监视来克服其中一些障碍的系统囊性纤维化（CF）患者在家。目前，CF呼吸道的重复护理标准恶化包括来到专业的CF诊所或医院进行肺功能评估发生症状时。肺功能测试可帮助临床医生知道肺功能何时下降。但是，临床医生目前不监测家里的肺功能，临床医生对治疗依从性。目前在美国有120个CF中心由囊性纤维化认可基金会在明尼苏达州（2），南达科他州（2），蒙大拿州（1）和怀俄明州（0）。在许多情况下，患者长途跋涉到达这些专门的CF中心。这拟议的系统创建了一个创新的家庭系统，该系统将农村地区的患者与临床医生和在治疗和诊断监测之间提供反馈回路。第二阶段提案将开发网络将允许安全远程访问肺功能数据和治疗依从性的应用。这系统将提供一种早期检测肺部加重的方法，并减少昂贵的数量以及压力大的住院和诊所就诊。
