What material investments are needed to use Structured telephone support (STS) for adult patients with chronic heart failure?

Authors: Ingrid Wilbacher, Valentina Prevolnik Rupel

Internal reviewers: Alessandra LoScalco, Antonio Migliore, Christina Mototolea, Silvia Gabriela Scintee

  • We used information provided by the studies {25},{29},{17},{5},{26},{20} of the basic literature search.
  • We used the table of different telemonitoring appraoches and linked suggested needs for material investments in a qualitative way due to our best knoewledge.

Despite the implantable devices, further materials are needed for telemonitoring/ telemedicine:

Patients home

-patient near unit (funk transmission)

-telephone/ cell phone with telephone line

-scale

-camera

-PC with internet

Data transfer

-Secure data sending line (internet)

-Telephone line

-Secured technical interoperability/ adaptiveness

Receiver of data/ care center/ nurse

-PC, software

-Telephone

-Usual office infrastructure

-Ev. car for home visits

There is a need for further research in knowledge representation, and the used data analysis methods. Current barriers for adaptation include uncertainty about the response protocols, payment systems, and prescribing protocols. {29}

Telemonitoring involves transmission of physiological data…from a measuring device (self measuring or data input manually) to a central server. The transmission works via telephone, satellite, or broadband capabilities, and the interpretation is done by the health care team. More complex information technology infrastructure is required to facilitate telemonitoring as opposed to a simple telephone call, which might limit the extent to which telemonitoring can be made available for heart failure patients to access. Several studies show that even a required IT infrastructure is not limiting the use and implementation of telemonitoring. {17}.

In most of the studies a domestic telephone line or cell phones were used for data transmission {44}, {41}{25}

A trial from Argentina indicate both the relevance and the capacity to implement telemonitoring interventions in middle-income countries. India and China both expect to find technological solutions to healthcare delivery problems, and telemonitoring is an attractive option. {5}{26}{20}
