Abstract

Digital health technology (DHT) describes tools and devices that generate or process health data. The application of DHTs could improve the diagnosis, treatment, and surveillance of bacterial infection and the prevention of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). DHTs to optimise antimicrobial use are rapidly being developed. To support the global adoption of DHTs and the opportunities offered to optimise antimicrobial use consensus is needed on what data are required to support antimicrobial decision making. This Series paper will explore bacterial AMR in humans and the need to optimise antimicrobial use in response to this global threat. It will also describe state-of-the-art DHTs to optimise antimicrobial prescribing in high-income and low-income and middle-income countries, and consider what fundamental data are ideally required for and from such technologies to support optimised antimicrobial use.

利用数字医疗技术在全球范围内优化抗菌药物的使用。

数字健康技术（DHT）是指生成或处理健康数据的工具和设备。数字健康技术的应用可以改善细菌感染的诊断、治疗和监测，并预防抗菌素耐药性（AMR）。用于优化抗菌药物使用的 DHT 正在迅速发展。为了支持在全球范围内采用 DHTs 并利用其提供的机会优化抗菌药物的使用，需要就支持抗菌药物决策所需的数据达成共识。本系列论文将探讨人类的细菌性 AMR 以及优化抗菌药使用以应对这一全球性威胁的必要性。它还将介绍在高收入和中低收入国家优化抗菌药物处方的最先进的 DHT 技术，并探讨这些技术需要哪些理想的基础数据来支持抗菌药物的优化使用。
