The Current and Future Role of Technology in Respiratory Care

Abstract

Over the past few decades, technology and improvements in artificial intelligence have dramatically changed major sectors of our day-to-day lives, including the field of healthcare. E-health includes a wide range of subdomains, such as wearables, smart-inhalers, portable electronic spirometers, digital stethoscopes, and clinical decision support systems. E-health has been consistently shown to enhance the quality of care, improve adherence to therapy, and allow early detection of worsening in chronic pulmonary diseases. The present review addresses the current and potential future role of major e-health tools and approaches in respiratory medicine, with the aim of providing readers with trustful and updated evidence to increase their awareness of the topic, and to allow them to optimally benefit from the latest innovation technology. Collected literature evidence shows that the potential of technology tools in respiratory medicine mainly relies on three fundamental interactions: between clinicians, between clinician and patient, and between patient and health technology. However, it would be desirable to establish widely agreed and adopted standards for conducting trials and reporting results in this area, as well as to take into proper consideration potentially relevant pitfalls related to privacy protection and compliance with regulatory procedures.

Smart Inhalers: Harnessing Iot for Precise Asthma Management

“…Data-Driven Decision Making and Adherence Feedback: (18) showed that patients with smart inhalers may now make datadriven decisions regarding their asthma care. Patients got feedback on their compliance and reminders, which made it easier for them to stick to their recommended drug schedules and improved overall illness management (32).…”

Surface acoustic wave sensing chip based on acoustic impedance effect: a method for rapid gas leakage detection and respiratory monitoring

“…S6). In addition, real-time feedback of the respiratory rate (RR) of the human body was crucial for medical health monitoring 46 We used a systematic algorithm (see SI.…”

The Use of Digital Inhalers (Smart Inhalers) in the Management of the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patient: A literature review

“…Kemudian adanya penolakan pasien untuk mengubah pola perawatan yang sudah berlangsung selama ini. Masalah selanjutnya adalah terkait ketidak pastian tanggung jawab klinis untuk meninjau karena monitoring Dewa Ayu: Penggunaan Digital Inhalers (Smart Inhalers) pada Pengelolaan Pasien Penyakit Paru Obstruksi Kronis bersifat jarak jauh (Honkoop et al, 2022). Sehingga diperlukan penelitian yang lebih baik terkait manfaat dan efektifitas digital inhaler terhadap hasil kesehatan untuk pasien PPOK, diharapkan nantinya memberi kepercayaan pada pasien untuk dapat diaplikasikan dalam praktek sehari-hari.…”
