Abstract
Objective: To evaluate the role of remote patient monitoring with respect to wound care in terms of improving patient outcomes and facilitating the overall care process.
Methods: The systematic review was conducted from July 2 to October 15, 2023, and comprised literature search on PubMed using key words, including "tele-monitoring", "remote patient monitoring", "telehealth", "telemedicine", "wound care", "home health monitoring", and "selfmonitoring". To ensure thorough and robust findings, unpublished studies and solitary abstracts were excluded. To include current research and insights from the modern era, only human studies published from year 2008 to 2023 were included.
Results: Of the 51 studies identified, 48(94.11%) were reviewed. After excluding 32(66.66%) irrelevant studies, 16(33.33%) were included for analysis, with 15(93.75%) highlighting favourable results of remote patient monitoring and its efficacy in wound care.
Conclusions: Tele-monitoring systems have proven effective with respect to wound care, improving healthcare quality and reducing unnecessary hospital visits through online physician-patient communication. Future research should explore strategies for optimising remote patient monitoring to sustain advancements in wound care practices in Pakistan.
期刊介绍:
Primarily being a medical journal, JPMA publishes scholarly research focusing on the various fields in the areas of health and medical education. It publishes original research describing recent advances in health particularly clinical studies, clinical trials, assessments of pathogens of diagnostic importance, medical genetics and epidemiological studies. Review articles highlighting importance of various issues in the domain of public health, drug research and medical education are also accepted. As a leading journal of South Asia, JPMA remains cognizant of the recent advances in the rapidly growing fields of biomedical sciences, it invites and encourages scholars to write short reviews and invited editorials on the emerging issues. We particularly aim to promote health standards of developing countries by encouraging manuscript submissions on issues affecting the public health and health delivery services.
