Accepted AbstractsMedicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)Readiness to Adopt Remote Monitoring Technologies for Chronic Disease Management Background: Many Primary Care Physicians (PCPs) report that their workload is overwhelming and unsustainable. At the same time, many patients with chronic diseases come in for office visits that are largely unnecessary. With the advent of innovative remote monitoring technologies (RMTs) that collect and transmit physiologic data (e.g., blood pressure, weight, blood sugar) online, it is now possible for providers to track health data at a population level, and intervene with patients only when... Engaging Asthmatic Teens in Symptom Control Using Facebook Background: Over 9.6 million (13.1%) American children have been diagnosed with asthma, contributing to about 3% of hospital stays and nearly 13 million school absences each year. The prevalence of asthma among children is generally higher in the Northeast (over 9.8%) compared to the rest of the United States. According to the NIH, many asthma attacks could be prevented with proper self-monitoring. Despite the fact that 9 out of 10 American teenagers regularly access to the Internet, online ... Medicine 2.0'14 Summit & World Congress (Maui, Hawaii, USA)Patient Engagement with a Novel Web-Based Telemonitoring System for Heart Failure Self-Management: A Pilot Study Background: Intensive telemonitoring programs for heart failure (HF) have been successful in reducing costly readmissions, but may not be appropriate for all patients. There is an opportunity to leverage the increasing accessibility of the Internet and availability of new wireless telemonitoring devices to empower patients in monitoring their own health at home. iGetBetter (iGB), a secure web- and telephone (IVR)-based telemonitoring system for HF which emphasizes self-care, offers a creative... Health Conditions on Facebook: A Descriptive Analysis of Page Content and User Engagement Background: The Internet has become a primary source of health information, with 72% of adult Internet users reporting to have searched online for health information in the past year. Although the majority of online health information seekers report beginning their search on a search engine like Google, the emergence of Web 2.0 has fueled the growth of social networking sites (SNS) as a new way to not only find, but share information. Facebook (FB) is the most widely used SNS with a rapidly-e... Engaging Adolescent Asthmatics in Symptom Control and Self-Management Using an Online Peer Social Network: A Randomized Controlled Trial Background: Asthma is the most common chronic condition affecting American children under the age of 18, with more than 10 million (14%) having been diagnosed. Compared to adults, children are at a greater risk of having an asthma attack and asthma-related hospital visit, and account for an estimated $56 billion in healthcare costs annually. Healthy People 2020 objectives highlight the need to improve patient education to recognize early signs and symptoms, and have physicians assess asthma c... Pain Management in Cancer Patients Using a Mobile Application: A Randomized Controlled Trial Background: In addition to the inherent pathophysiological effects associated with any cancer, pain continues to be one of the most feared consequences of the disease; upwards of 14% of patients experiencing cancer pain (CP) have inadequate analgesia. CP can be present at any phase of the disease process, and is associated with distressing psychosocial discomforts that adversely impact a patient’s quality of life. Clinical guidelines recommend that patients be screened for CP at any encount... Tablet Computers in the Waiting Room: Patient Attitudes Towards The Use Of Tablet Computers For Clinic Based Personalized Healthcare Information Introduction: Annual national healthcare expenditure in the United States is expected to surpass $3 trillion by 2013. The majority of this cost will be related to the management of preventable chronic diseases.

To achieve these goals, better use could be ...
