We are pleased to present a new issue of the Scientific Journal (No 51) of the School of Banking and Management. The authors approach the issues from different and interdisciplinary angles, which seems indispensible when considering the complexity of contemporary economic processes.
Telemonitoring means the use of audio, video or other ICTs in remote monitoring of patient’s health. Chronic diseases are currently a major burden for health care systems in developed countries. The application of ICT systems to support patients with chronic diseases became more realistic with the development of web and subsequently mobile technologies. A universal access to the Internet does not only mean a revolution as regards the use of information and services but also a democratization of the access to these resources. Long-term control of selected physiological parameters and the results of self-control or patient-based measurements is the basis for effective treatment in numerous chronic diseases. The solutions applied in telemonitoring of chronic diseases are usually based on devices with sensors that register indices crucial for particular diseases. Current telemonitoring systems integrate ubiquitous computing and communication technologies. The implementation of e-health sy
The first definitions of telemedicine come from 1970s but the first attempts to use communication tools in medicine were described at least one hundred years before. As the increasingly better opportunities of data transmission emerged, new and more complex telemedicine systems were developed. The reasons for the development of the first telemedicine systems included the necessity to provide access to medical assistance in sparsely populated areas, emergency situations or during sea or air travel. Issues concerning the enhancement of medical care, the access to medical data or the possibility to receive specialist consultation started to gain in importance with the development of ICT technologies. Recently, eHealth is the key term to be used in ICT application in healthcare. It refers both to contacts between medical staff and patients, or between medical staff, and the online access of patients, their relatives and all citizens to health data as well as the development of IT systems i
