Zusammenfassung

Die enorme sozioökonomische Bedeutung der Volkskrankheit COPD ist international und national unbestritten. Telemonitoring kann potentiell die Versorgung gerade älterer COPD-Patienten – unabhängig vom Aufenthaltsort – in wichtigen Bereichen wie Behandlungsqualität und Qualitätsmanagement, Therapietreue und Selbstverantwortung sowie Lebensqualität und Sicherheit im Alltag verbessern. Auf der Basis aktueller, evidenzbasierter Analysen gibt die Arbeit einen Überblick zum therapeutischen Nutzen der Telemedizin bei COPD in Bezug auf wichtige Zielvariablen wie Zahl der Exazerbationen, Lebensqualität, Notwendigkeit stationärer Behandlungen und Mortalität.

Abstract

The enormous socioeconomic significance of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is nationally and internationally undisputed. Telemonitoring can potentially improve the routine treatment in important areas of treatment quality and quality management, patient compliance, self-responsibility, quality of life and safety, especially for older patients and independent of the location. On the basis of current evidence-based analyses this article gives an overview of the therapeutic benefits of telemedicine for COPD with respect to important target variables, such as the number of exacerbations, quality of life, necessity for inpatient treatment and mortality.
