Telemedicine devices in internal medicine and neurology

Introduction Monitoring of patients systems remotely with feedback send to physician and patient could be applied in many fields of medicine. Telemedicine could presumably lead to improvement of patients care and treatment both in chronic conditions and in emergency, lowering demands on costs and time resources. Material and methods Articles in the EBSCO database have been analyzed using keywords: Telemedicine devices, telemedicine devices, neurology, cardiology. The available literature is subjectively selected. Then, the newest version of every paper was searched for. Results The most important and popular types of devices used in telemedicine in internal medicine and neurology were presented. Conclusions The development of devices in telemedicine results in an increase in effectiveness in the diagnosis and treatment of patients. In addition, remote access to the results of measurements made by these devices affects the quality of treatment

Telemedicine in cardiology

Introduction Telemedicine is becoming regularly used in rural part of some of developed countries. Moreover, it could be applied to improve diagnosis and emergency care in adults as well as in neonatal care. Material and methods Articles in the EBSCO database have been analyzed using keywords: telemedicine, cardiology. The available literature is subjectively selected. Then, the newest version of every paper was searched for. Results Results of researches with applications of telemedicine in cardiology in emergency, chronic conditions. Moreover, potential costs and benefits were described. Conclusions Telemedicine could be useful for patients, their families, clinicians and regional healthcare systems. The rapidly changing healthcare climate includes an increasing focus on cost reduction, quality improvement and results, patient-centered care and technology solutions, all of which are well served by the optimal use of telemedicine

Telemedicine in neurology

Introduction Telemedicine in neurology has been developed for the last two decades. However, this concept has only been introduced to the emergency scene recently. In the above review current state and prognosis of development of telemedicine would be described. Material and methods Articles in the EBSCO database have been analyzed using keywords: telemedicine, neurology. The available literature is subjectively selected. Then, the newest version of every paper was searched for. Results Results of researches with applications of telemedicine in neurology in emergency, chronic conditions. Moreover, potential costs and benefits were described. Conclusions The involvement of stroke specialists also facilitated the diagnosis of other neurological emergencies such as intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, hypoglycemia and seizure. Potential barriers to the use of this technology include the initial costs of equipment and training of personnel. Further development of telemedicine would possibly improve both emergency and long-term care in neurology

Peripheral nerves electrostimulators. Technical Specifications

Admission The first successful attempt to use stimulants neuro modulation properties date back to the first half of the twentieth century. Due to the high technological limitations, the use of peripheral nerve electrostimulators the early eighties XX century was relatively small and involved few patients treated primarily due to neuropathic pain and patients psychosurgical. The development of modern batteries in the eighties of the twentieth century, standardization and implementation process to achieve consensus on the guidelines for operations in the field of functional neurosurgery, they contributed to intensified "Renaissance" functional neurosurgery. Material and methods Articles in the EBSCO database were analyzed using the keywords: peripheral nerves, stimulation, electrostimulation, neurosurgery. Furthermore, neural searched betting sites in terms of the technical aspects of this equipment. Available literature was subjectively selected. Then searched the latest version of each article. Results Offered different tools offered technical specifications. Technological developments have allowed the convenience to use devices, min. by increasing control by the user or representative of the operation of the pacemaker. Conclusions The development of technology and neuroscience neurostymulatorów resulted in the development of many available on the market. However, more research is needed to determine the exact parameters of stimulation, which would get the largest size stimulation effect while minimizing adverse effects
