Advancing therapy-oriented telemedicine- Does Europe have an answer?

Therapeutische Umschau. Revue thérapeutique
Claas Lennart Neumann, Egbert Godehard Schulz

Abstract

Despite a large number of existing telemedical applications as well as numerous issues in the current implementations, the desire for intensified integration of IT solutions for the health sector is unanimous amongst all actors involved (patients, practitioners, software and hardware developers, insurers, services, etc.). This reflects the state of digital systems in use in medicine today which have yet to arrive in the 21st century and operate well below the technologically possible. Telemedica/ methods remain mainly associated to flagship projects with often limited mid- or long termimpact on patient care practicesror scientific research. Supraregional or national standards are far from being defined. The register EUSTAR under patronage of the ESH is designed to fill gaps in the current IT solutions by utilization of the innovative software system SCITIM 0 to enable broad application of telemedicine and thereby provide evidence for its scientific and economical feasibility. For this the utilization of interventional decentralised telemonitoring (idTM 0 } is suitable as it preserves clear and direct patient practitioner bonds and communication. The fundamental measure of idTM 0 - to judge the quality of the te/emedica/ applica...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
