Common data elements (CDEs) are currently unavailable for mobile health (mHealth) in epilepsy devices and related applications. As a result, despite expansive growth of new digital services for people with epilepsy, information collected is often not interoperable or directly comparable. We aim to correct this problem through development of industry-wide standards for mHealth epilepsy data.
Using a group of stakeholders from industry, academia, and patient advocacy organizations, we offer a consensus statement for the elements that may facilitate communication among different systems.
A consensus statement is presented for epilepsy mHealth CDEs.
Although it is not exclusive, we believe that the use of a minimal common information denominator, specifically these CDEs, will promote innovation, accelerate scientific discovery, and enhance clinical usage across applications and devices in the epilepsy mHealth space. As a consequence, people with epilepsy will have greater flexibility and ultimately more powerful tools to improve their lives.
移动医疗(mHealth)在癫痫设备和相关应用中缺乏通用数据元素(CDEs)。因此,尽管针对癫痫患者的新数字服务广泛增长,但所收集的信息通常不可互操作或无法直接比较。我们旨在通过为 mHealth 癫痫数据制定行业标准来纠正这个问题。
我们使用来自行业、学术界和患者倡导组织的一组利益相关者,为可能促进不同系统之间通信的元素提供了共识声明。
提出了癫痫 mHealth CDE 的共识声明。
尽管不是排他性的,但我们相信使用最小的通用信息基准,特别是这些 CDEs,将促进创新,加速科学发现,并增强癫痫 mHealth 领域的应用程序和设备中的临床使用。因此,癫痫患者将拥有更大的灵活性,并最终拥有更强大的工具来改善他们的生活。
