Future Prospects of Health Management Systems Using Cellular Phones

Abstract

Background: Cellular phones enable communication between healthcare providers and patients for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. However, few studies have examined the userfriendliness or effectiveness of cellular phone-based medical informatics (CPBMI) for healthcare. Materials and Methods: This study investigated the use of CPBMI to identify its current status within the medical field, advantages and disadvantages, practicability, clinical effectiveness, costs, and cost-saving potential. Results: CPBMI was validated in terms of practicality and provision of medical benefits. It is critical to use CPBMI in accordance with the different features of each disease and condition. Use of CPBMI is expected to be especially useful for patients with chronic disease. Conclusions: We discussed the current status of the clinical use, benefits, and risks of CPBMI. CPBMI and information technology-based health management tools are anticipated to become useful and effective components of healthcare management in the future.

Impact of Technology in Better Dispersal of Health Care Methods and Improving Health Care Systems

“…This was seen in 85% doctors and 70% nurses. Similar findings in the better dispensing of health care systems were seen in another study [3].…”

“…Cellular phones enable communication between healthcare providers and patients for prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of diseases. However, few studies have examined the user-friendliness or effectiveness of cellular phone-based medical informatics (CPBMI) for healthcare [3]. Hence, we conducted this study to assess if conventional written method is better to that of the technology itself and to see for any drawbacks in it.…”

Social Networking Services-Based Communicative Care for Patients with Diabetes Mellitus in Korea

“…In fact, potential blood glucose management and clinically positive effects of using information technology (IT), such as medical websites or apps are constantly being reported [14][15][16][17]. Many recent studies address communication between doctors and patients with the help of IT, [14][15][18][19][20][21] and physicians unilaterally convey health information to the patients. Although medical consumers are gradually obtaining more knowledge, the incidence of chronic diseases is still increasing significantly [22].…”
