Remote digital health technologies for improving the care of people with respiratory disorders.
Respiratory diseases are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally. However, existing systems of care, built around scheduled appointments, are not well designed to support the needs of people with chronic and acute respiratory conditions that can change rapidly and unexpectedly. Home-based and personal digital health technologies (DHTs) allow implementation of new models of care catering to the unique needs of individuals. The high number of respiratory triggers and unique responses to them require a personalised solution for each patient. The real-world, repetitive monitoring capabilities of DHTs enable identification of the normal operating characteristics for each individual and, therefore, recognition of the earliest deviations from that state. However, despite this potential, the number of clinical efficacy studies of DHTs is quite small. Evaluation of clinical effectiveness of DHTs in improving health quality in real-world settings is urgently needed.
