A gaming platform has been used to implement a Home Automated Telemanagement (HAT) system for chronic disease management in the patient's home. The system questions patients with congestive heart failure (CHF) to monitor symptoms, weight changes, and quality of life while educating the patient on their disease. The system is designed to run on the Nintendo Wii videogame console using an active internet connection and the console's built in internet browser. It questions the patient daily on their condition, monitors their weight, and provides the patient with instant feedback on their condition in the form of a 3 zone CHF action plan. The system is designed to be as simple as possible, making it usable by patients with no prior computer or videogame experience. This telemanagement system has been successfully designed and implemented to optimize the care of patients with CHF.
一个游戏平台已被用于在患者家中实施家庭自动化远程管理(HAT)系统,以管理慢性病。该系统对充血性心力衰竭(CHF)患者进行询问,以监测症状、体重变化和生活质量,同时对患者进行疾病教育。该系统旨在通过活跃的互联网连接以及任天堂Wii游戏机内置的互联网浏览器在任天堂Wii游戏机上运行。它每天询问患者的病情,监测他们的体重,并以三区CHF行动计划的形式为患者提供关于其病情的即时反馈。该系统设计得尽可能简单,使没有计算机或游戏经验的患者也能使用。这个远程管理系统已成功设计并实施,以优化对CHF患者的护理。
