The COVID-19 crisis has pressured hospital-based care for children with high-risk asthma as they have become deprived of regular clinical evaluations. However, COVID-19 also provided important lessons about implementing novel directions for care. Personalized eHealth technology, tailored to the individual and the healthcare system, could substitute elements of hospital care and facilitate early and appropriate medical anticipation in response to imminent loss of control. This perspective article discusses new approaches to the clinical, organizational, and scientific aspects of the use of eHealth technology in pediatric asthma care in times of COVID-19, as illustrated by a case report of an acute asthma exacerbation possibly caused by COVID-19 infection.
新冠疫情危机给高危哮喘儿童的住院治疗带来了压力,因为他们无法接受常规临床评估。然而,新冠疫情也为实施新的治疗方向提供了重要经验教训。针对个人和医疗系统量身定制的个性化电子健康技术,可以替代部分住院治疗环节,并有助于在病情即将失控时进行早期且恰当的医疗预判。这篇观点文章讨论了在新冠疫情期间,电子健康技术在儿科哮喘治疗中的临床、组织和科学应用的新方法,文中以一例可能由新冠病毒感染导致的急性哮喘加重病例报告为例进行了说明。
