Abstract

Surgical care is an essential component of health care. This basic universal right is not available to everyone. Indeed, countries with low economic resources suffer from a lack of access to surgical care and the most developed countries will have to reduce the cost of health care to ensure the sustainability of provided care quality. New communication technologies have invaded the field of health and have led to the development of a new concept of mobile health. The purpose of this paper is to answer the following question: Can these new tools, and in particular the Smartphone, remedy, even partially, the lack of health care in poor countries and reduce the cost of health care in rich countries? New communication tools, led by the Smartphone, have the capacity to capture, store, retrieve and transmit data to provide instant and personalized information to individuals. This information could be a key element in health systems and can contribute to monitoring health status and improving patient safety and care quality. Mobile telephony via applications and connected objects can facilitate the pre-, intra- and post-operative management of patients. These mobile systems also facilitate the collection and transmission of data. This will allow better analysis of this data and will greatly pave the way to the introduction of artificial intelligence in medicine and surgery. The Smartphone can be used as an important tool for both, diagnosis care and surgical training. Surgeons must adapt their equipment to local resources while respecting safety standards. Covid-19 has put health systems around the world under severe strain. Decision-makers are being forced to make adjustments. The long-vaunted digital health is becoming a reality and a necessity. Healthcare authorities and strategy specialists face challenges in terms of disease prevention and therapy, as well as in terms of health economics and management.
智能手机和手术,现实还是小工具?
外科护理是卫生保健的重要组成部分。并非每个人都享有这项基本的普遍权利。事实上,经济资源不足的国家缺乏获得外科护理的机会,最发达的国家将不得不降低保健费用,以确保所提供的护理质量的可持续性。新的通信技术已经侵入了健康领域,并导致了移动健康新概念的发展。本文的目的是回答以下问题:这些新工具,特别是智能手机,补救,甚至部分,缺乏医疗保健在贫穷国家和降低医疗保健在富裕国家的成本?以智能手机为主导的新型通信工具具有捕获、存储、检索和传输数据的能力,为个人提供即时和个性化的信息。这些信息可以成为卫生系统的关键要素,有助于监测健康状况,改善患者安全和护理质量。通过应用程序和连接对象的移动电话可以促进患者手术前、手术中和手术后的管理。这些移动系统还有助于数据的收集和传输。这将有助于更好地分析这些数据,并为将人工智能引入医学和外科手术铺平道路。智能手机可以作为诊断、护理和手术培训的重要工具。外科医生必须使他们的设备适应当地的资源,同时尊重安全标准。Covid-19使世界各地的卫生系统面临严重压力。决策者正被迫做出调整。长期吹嘘的数字医疗正在成为现实和必需品。卫生保健当局和战略专家在疾病预防和治疗以及卫生经济学和管理方面面临挑战。
