摘要

背景:现代电信基础设施能够弥合农村和城市保健服务之间的数字鸿沟,促进提供适当的医疗保健和支助。迄今为止,应用移动保健(移动保健)解决方案产生了一些积极影响,但它们与云计算相关的全部潜力尚未实现。必须在发展中国家的背景下制定解决数字鸿沟的创新方法。方法:本研究采用设计科学研究方法(DSR),描述了一种利用云计算的创新移动健康解决方案,使医疗保健专业人员和农村地区的妇女能够实现全面的孕产妇保健支持。我们在利益相关者的参与下通过迭代原型开发解决方案框架,并使用焦点小组评估设计。结果:基于云的解决方案被积极评价为支持医疗保健专业人员和服务提供商。它被认为有助于提供一个虚拟的存在,以评估和诊断孕妇的关键医疗保健数据、病史,并在虚拟诊所环境中提供必要的服务支持。结论:新的应用程序为目标利益相关者提供了好处,使新的基于实践的范例适用于其他医疗保健管理。我们展示了解决目标问题的实用程序,以及满足信息交换需求的机制主张,以更好地实现最终用户的实际需求。

On-Cloud Motherhood Clinic: A Healthcare Management Solution for Rural Communities in Developing Countries
Background: Modern telecommunication infrastructure enables bridging of the digital divide between rural and urban healthcare services, promoting the provision of suitable medical care and support. Thus far, there has been some positive impacts to applying mobile health (m-Health) solutions, but their full potential in relation to cloud computing has is yet to be realised. It is imperative to develop an innovative approach for addressing the digital divide in a context of developing country. Method: Adopting a design science research approach (DSR), this study describes an innovative m-Health solution utilising cloud computing that enables healthcare professionals and women in rural areas to achieve comprehensive maternal healthcare support. We developed the solution framework through iterative prototyping with stakeholders’ participation, and evaluated the design using focus groups. Results: The cloud-based solution was positively evaluated as supporting healthcare professionals and service providers. It was perceived to help provide a virtual presence for evaluating and diagnosing expectant mothers’ critical healthcare data, medical history, and in providing necessary service support in a virtual clinic environment. Conclusions: The new application offers benefits to target stakeholders enabling a new practice-based paradigm applicable in other healthcare management. We demonstrated utilities to address target problems as well as the mechanism propositions for meeting the information exchange demand for better realisation of practical needs of the end users.
