项目摘要

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Twenty percent of the U.S. population resides in rural communities. In rural areas, residents need to travel greater distances to access specialty services of the healthcare system. Typically, healthcare facilities in these rural areas are small and provide limited services. Often, due to geographic distance, extreme weather conditions, environmental and climatic barriers, lack of public transportation, and challenging roads, rural residents may be limited or prohibited from accessing specialty health care services. In this phase I proposal, Koronis Biomedical Technologies (KBT) proposes a system to overcome some of these barriers by monitoring cystic fibrosis (CF) patients at home. Currently, the standard of care for reoccurring CF respiratory exacerbations includes coming to a specialized CF clinic or the hospital for pulmonary function evaluation when symptoms occur. Pulmonary function tests help clinicians know when lung function has declined. However, clinicians currently do not monitor lung function at home, nor do clinicians have any insight on therapy adherence. There are currently 110 cystic fibrosis centers in the U.S. accredited by the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation with only five in the entire states of Minnesota (1), North/South Dakota (3), Montana (1) and Wyoming (0). In many cases, patients travel a long distance to reach these specialized CF centers. The proposed system creates an innovative home system that connects patients in rural areas with clinicians and provides a feedback loop between therapy and diagnostic monitoring. The phase I proposal will develop a web application that will allow secure remote access to pulmonary function data and therapy adherence. This system will provide a means of early detection of pulmonary exacerbation and reducing the number of costly and stressful hospitalizations and clinic visits.

描述（由申请人提供）：二十％的美国访问医疗保健系统的距离。 l技术（KBT）提议通过监测家庭中的CYSTEM纤维化（CF）患者来克服这些障碍。在美国纤维化基金会中，有110个囊性毒化中心，其纤维化基金会（1），北达科他州（3），蒙大拿州（1）和怀俄明州（0）。专门的CF中心。拟议的系统在农村地区与临床医生的联系提供了一个反馈和诊断的反馈系统将提供早期检测肺部，并减少昂贵，压力和诊所的数量。
