| Popis: | A platform built around three information entities (patient, health-care/spl I.bar/agent, and central/spl I.bar/station) was designed to enable patients with chronic heart disease (in stable condition; emergency situations were excluded deliberately) to complete specifically defined protocols for out-of-hospital follow-up and monitoring. The patients belonged to one of four specific risk groups: arterial hypertension, malignant arrhythmias, heart failure, and postinfarction rehabilitation. They were provided with portable recording equipment and a cellular phone that supported data transmission [electrocardiogram (ECG)] and wireless application protocol (WAP) (remaining parameters and ad hoc questionnaires). The central station was an automatized platform, with no human operator. The information received was organized chronologically in patient folders. The health-care/spl I.bar/agents had continuous and secure access to the patient folders, through tools based on the world wide web and WAP, and to short messages sent by their patients. A pilot project was conducted with 89 patients (mean length of participation: 50.1 days). A total of 2168 ECGs (mean duration transmission=2 min/30 s; network errors < 0.1%) and 4011 short messages (none lost, in 95% of cases 30 s |
