Continuous recording of daily symptoms constitutes an effective means of managing asthma patients. Daily management reduces the costs associated with hospitalization and improves the quality of patient care. We have implemented a Web-based mobile asthma management system. We used a pocket PC, mobile phone and desktop computer. The recorded items and individualized prescriptions were structured using Extensible Mark-up Language (XML) DTD (Data Type Definition). The mobile Web form was automatically adjusted to fit the different display resolutions of the terminal devices. The system provided reliable exchange of all relevant information between a doctor and the asthma patient using wireless mobile transmission. E-mail and Short Messaging Service (SMS) were used to send messages to patients, for example in the case of an automatically determined patient alert. Patients could obtain customized instructions according to their daily personal symptoms, peak expiratory flow (PEF), medications and activity restriction. The daily graph of PEF and the graphs of symptoms and medication were particularly useful for asthma patient control and self-awareness of the progress of the disease.
连续记录每日症状是管理哮喘患者的有效手段。日常管理可降低与住院相关的费用，并提高患者护理质量。我们实施了一个基于网络的移动哮喘管理系统。我们使用了掌上电脑、手机和台式电脑。记录的项目和个性化处方使用可扩展标记语言（XML）数据类型定义（DTD）进行结构化。移动网络表单会自动调整以适应终端设备的不同显示分辨率。该系统通过无线移动传输在医生和哮喘患者之间提供所有相关信息的可靠交换。电子邮件和短消息服务（SMS）被用于向患者发送信息，例如在自动确定患者警报的情况下。患者可以根据其每日个人症状、呼气峰值流量（PEF）、药物治疗和活动限制获得定制化的指导。PEF的每日图表以及症状和药物治疗的图表对于哮喘患者的病情控制和对疾病进展的自我认知特别有用。
