Online technologies play an increasing role in facilitating care for patients with interstitial lung disease (ILD). In this review, we will give an overview of different applications of the internet of medical things (IoMT) for patients with ILD.
Various applications of the IoMT, including teleconsultations, virtual MDTs, digital information, and online peer support, are now used in daily care of patients with ILD. Several studies showed that other IoMT applications, such as online home monitoring and telerehabilitation, seem feasible and reliable, but widespread implementation in clinical practice is lacking. The use of artificial intelligence algorithms and online data clouds in ILD is still in its infancy, but has the potential to improve remote, outpatient clinic, and in-hospital care processes. Further studies in large real-world cohorts to confirm and clinically validate results from previous studies are needed.
We believe that in the near future innovative technologies, facilitated by the IoMT, will further enhance individually targeted treatment for patients with ILD by interlinking and combining data from various sources.
在线技术在为间质性肺疾病 (ILD) 患者提供医疗服务方面发挥着越来越重要的作用。在这篇综述中，我们将概述物联网 (IoMT) 在ILD 患者中的不同应用。
物联网的各种应用，包括远程会诊、虚拟多学科团队、数字信息和在线同伴支持，目前已用于ILD 患者的日常护理。多项研究表明，其他物联网应用，如在线家庭监测和远程康复，似乎是可行和可靠的，但在临床实践中尚未广泛实施。人工智能算法和在线数据云在ILD 中的应用仍处于起步阶段，但有可能改善远程、门诊和住院治疗过程。需要在大型真实队列中进行进一步的研究，以确认和临床验证以前研究的结果。
我们相信，在不久的将来，物联网技术将通过互联和整合来自各种来源的数据，进一步增强针对ILD 患者的个体化靶向治疗。
