Abstract

New technological developments improved medical care by facilitating better diagnosis and treatment choices, and also better communication opportunities between doctor and patients. Together with all other medical branches, the developments in tele-health and tele-medicine affected endocrinology practice. Since diabetes mellitus has increasing prevalence and high costs because of mortality and morbidities, tele-medicine applications have generally concentrated on diabetic patient care in tele-endocrinology. Tele-medicine care provides many benefits such as better patient education, glycemic control, decreased acute and chronic complications of the disease. Insulin pump-users and the patients with continuous glucose monitoring systems could be easily adapted and they may benefit from close follow-up with this technology. Gestational diabetes patients and elderly people or home-care patients may have easy way to reach the doctor. By the help of tele-radiology, tele-ophthalmology and telepathology, thyroid and adrenal diseases, and hypophyseal tumors may also be followed and these may be new areas in tele-endocrinology

Abstract

Teknolojideki yeni gelişmeler tıp alanında daha doğru tanı ve tedavi im- kanları sağlamakla beraber doktor ve hasta arasında daha iyi iletişim kur- ma olanaklarını da sağlamıştır. Tele-sağlık ve tele-tıp alanlarındaki geliş- meler diğer tıbbi branşlarda olduğu gibi endokrinolojideki uygulamala- rı da etkilemiştir. Diabetes mellitus prevalansı giderek artan ve neden ol- duğu mortalite ve morbiditeler sebebiyle maliyeti oldukça fazla olan bir kronik hastalıktır. Bu nedenle tele-endokrinolojideki tele-tıp uygulamala- rı daha çok diyabetik hastalar üzerine yoğunlaşmıştır. Tele-tıp daha iyi has- ta eğitimi, glisemik kontrol ve akut ve kronik komplikasyonlarda azalma gibi birçok fayda sağlar. İnsülin pompası olanlar ve sürekli glukoz monito- rizasyonu sistemleri kullananlar bu uygulamalara daha kolay adapte ola- bilir ve yakın takipten fayda görürler. Gestasyonel diabeti olanlar ve yaşlı hastalar ile evde bakım gerektiren hastalar doktora daha kolay ulaşabilir. Tele-radioloji, tele-oftalmoloji ve tele-patolojinin yardımıyla tiroid ve adre- nal hastalıkları ve hipofiz tümörleri gibi diğer endokrinolojik hastalıklar da tele-endokrinolojide takip edilebilen yeni alanlar oluşturur
