Remote Health Management for Peripheral Arterial Diseases with Mobile Devices

Mustafa Çetinkaya, Sevinç Gülseçen, Nilgün Bozbuğa

Peripheral arterial diseases encompass a range of conditions characterized by atherosclerosis of the lower and upper extremities. As a prevalent health issue, monitoring and managing these diseases are crucial to improving patient outcomes. In recent years, the advent of mobile devices, including health measurement devices, smartphones, and smartwatches, has opened up new possibilities for remote monitoring and intervention in various medical conditions, including peripheral arterial diseases. In this proposal, we aim to explore the potential of mobile devices in the context of peripheral arterial diseases, focusing on their ability to perform necessary measurements, record data, and facilitate communication between patients and doctors. The evaluation considers the measurements available in the peripheral arterial diseases’ clinical assessment form. The selection of mobile devices for the study involves considerations of usage rate, technological innovation, and alignment with the medical field’s requirements. Additionally, the study delves into the communication aspects between patients and doctors through mobile devices. Patients can receive timely and personalized treatment recommendations by transmitting health data to doctors. This continuous and objective-based communication strengthens reporting and offers the potential for early diagnosis and intervention in the case of any anomalies or ingravescent conditions. Ultimately, remote monitoring of peripheral arterial diseases with mobile devices is an essential method that allows continuous monitoring of patients’ health status and timely intervention. Even so, although some measurements can be made and communication can be provided, remote monitoring of peripheral arterial diseases using mobile devices is still in its early stages, and there is a need to develop integrated systems and devices. It presents some challenges that need to be addressed as well. Ensuring the security of patient data, preserving patient privacy, and protecting personal information are paramount considerations. Adequate protective policies should be implemented to safeguard sensitive data and maintain the trust of patients in the healthcare system.

Peri̇feri̇k Arter Hastalıklarında Mobi̇l Ci̇hazlarla Uzaktan Sağlık Yöneti̇mi̇

Mustafa Çetinkaya, Sevinç Gülseçen, Nilgün Bozbuğa

Periferik arter hastalıkları, alt ve üst ekstremitelerde ateroskleroz ile karakterize bir dizi durumu kapsamaktadır. Yaygın bir sağlık sorunu olarak, bu hastalıkların izlenmesi ve yönetilmesi hasta sonuçlarının iyileştirilmesi için çok önemlidir. Son yıllarda, sağlık ölçüm cihazları, akıllı telefonlar ve akıllı saatler de dahil olmak üzere mobil cihazların ortaya çıkması, periferik arter hastalıkları da dahil olmak üzere çeşitli tıbbi durumlarda uzaktan izleme ve müdahale için yeni olanaklar sunmaktadır. Çalışmada, mobil cihazların gerekli ölçümleri yapma, veri kaydetme, hastalar ile hekimler arasındaki iletişimi kolaylaştırma yeteneklerine odaklanılarak bu cihazların periferik arter hastalıkları bağlamındaki potansiyelini keşfetmek amaçlanmaktadır. Değerlendirme, periferik arter hastalıkları klinik değerlendirme formunda yer alan ölçümleri dikkate almaktadır. Çalışma için mobil cihazların seçiminde kullanım oranı, teknolojik yenilik ve tıp alanının gereksinimleriyle uyum göz önünde bulundurulmuştur. Ayrıca, çalışma mobil cihazlar aracılığıyla hastalar ve hekimler arasındaki iletişim konularını da incelemektedir. Hastalar, sağlık verilerini hekimlere ileterek zamanında ve kişiselleştirilmiş tedavi önerileri alabilmektedir. Bu sürekli ve hedefe dayalı iletişim, raporlamayı güçlendirmekte ve herhangi bir anomali ya da yeni ortaya çıkan bir durum söz konusu olduğunda erken teşhis ve müdahale potansiyeli sunmaktadır. Sonuç olarak, periferik arter hastalıklarının mobil cihazlarla uzaktan izlenmesi, hastaların sağlık durumunun sürekli izlenmesine ve zamanında müdahale edilmesine olanak tanıyan önemli bir yöntemdir. Ancak, bazı ölçümler yapılabilmesine ve iletişim sağlanabilmesine rağmen, mobil cihazlar kullanılarak periferik arter hastalıklarının uzaktan izlenmesi henüz erken aşamadadır; entegre sistemler ve cihazlar geliştirilmesi gerekmektedir. Ayrıca, ele alınması gereken bazı zorluklar bulunmaktadır. Hasta verilerinin güvenliğinin sağlanması, hasta mahremiyetinin korunması ve kişisel bilgilerin korunması önemli hususlardır. Hassas verileri korumak ve hastaların sağlık sistemine olan güvenini sürdürmek için gerekli koruyucu politikalar uygulanmalıdır.
