摘要

糖尿病是一种无法永久治愈的慢性疾病。斯里兰卡是世界上糖尿病患病率最高的国家之一。280万斯里兰卡人患有糖尿病或糖尿病前期,最重要的是,很大一部分人口尚未被诊断出来)。糖尿病患者需要终生护理,以防止并发症的发生,这些并发症进一步加重了国家医疗保健支出的负担。此外,患者需要与医疗保健提供者保持持续联系,以实现糖尿病的最佳管理。然而,这样的安排往往是昂贵和耗时的,因此它最终加重了患者,医疗保健系统和经济的负担。随着电信技术的发展,远程医疗(即利用信息通信技术提供远程医疗服务)得到了人们的关注。远程医疗可以增强患者和医疗保健提供者之间的通信,而无需在一个地方出现。远程医疗可以将来自全球不同角落的医疗保健专业人员联系起来,共享知识和专业知识。此外,越来越多的证据表明,远程医疗将是传统医疗的一个可行的替代方案。本文展示了斯里兰卡的一项研究,该研究描述了斯里兰卡远程医疗系统的开发——基于社区的网络移动平台(CBWMP)。该平台的概念是维护电子个人健康记录(e-PHR),以便提供各方之间的沟通,以优化患者健康信息流,并以最低成本协调护理的连续性。CBWMP -集成了移动电话和e-PHR -能够提供糖尿病教育,协调有效的管理和筛查糖尿病状况。为了避免任何文化边缘化,所有服务都可以用用户在斯里兰卡的首选母语进行访问,即僧伽罗语,泰米尔语和英语。DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4038/sljbmi.v3i4.5504

Development of a Community Based Web-Mobile Platform (CBWMP) for diabetes care in Sri Lanka
Diabetes is a chronic disease with no permanent cure. Sri Lanka is placed among the countries with the highest diabetes prevalence rates in the world (ie. 2.8 million Sri Lankans have diabetes or pre-diabetes, and most importantly, a significant proportions of the population is yet to be diagnosed). Patients with diabetes need lifelong care to prevent complications which further impose a significant burden on the country’s expenditure on healthcare. Moreover, patients need to maintain constant contact with the healthcare provider for the optimal management of diabetes. However, such arrangement is often costly and time consuming and therefore it ultimately aggravates the burden to patients, the healthcare system and the economy. With the development of telecommunication technologies, Telemedicine (i.e. the use of Information Communication Technology to provide healthcare at a distance) has gained attention. Telemedicine can enhance communication between patient and healthcare provider without needing physical presence in one place. Telemedicine can link healthcare professionals from different corners of the globe to share knowledge and expertise. Moreover, evidence is surfacing to suggest that the telemedicine would be a viable alternative to conventional care. This article showcases a Sri Lankan study which describes the development of a Telemedicine system for Sri Lanka - Community Based Web-Mobile Platform (CBWMP). The concept of the platform is to maintain an electronic Personal Health Record (e-PHR) in order to provide communication between different parties to optimise patient health information flow and also to coordinate the continuity of care at minimal cost. The CBWMP - integrated mobile phones and e-PHR - is capable of delivering diabetes education, co-ordinating effective management, and screening diabetes status. To avoid any cultural marginalisation, all the services can be accessed in the user’s preferred native language in Sri Lanka viz. Sinhala, Tamil, and English.
