Abstract

Abstract: Digital health broadly refers to the development and use of digital technology to improve health knowledge and practice areas, including smart devices, digital consumers, the internet of things and other related health services. In recent years, digital health has developed rapidly in the field of cerebrovascular diseases. It has been applied in primary prevention and secondary prevention, as well as in the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases in the acute phase and rehabilitation. The related studies show that well-developed digital health products can predict the risk of cerebrovascular disease, help patients in the acute phase through telemedicine, enhance the compliance of patients with secondary prevention, and assist rehabilitation training after discharge. Digital health allows more clinical data to be shared instantly, patients to be treated more timely, and can reduce medical costs to some extent. This paper discussed the application of digital health in cerebrovascular disease and its possible development trend in the future.

Key words: Digital health; Cerebrovascular disease; Development status; Trend

摘要： 数字健康广义上是指发展和利用数字技术提高健康的知识和实践领域，包括智能设备、数字消费者、物联网等相关的健康服务等。近年来，数字健康技术在脑血管病领域发展迅速，在脑血管病的一级预防、二级预防及急性期和康复阶段的诊疗中均有应用。相关研究结果提示，开发良好的数字健康产品可预测脑血管病的发生风险，助力脑血管病急性期远程医疗，提高患者二级预防的依从性，辅助患者出院后的功能康复训练。数字健康可使更多临床数据得到即时共享，让患者得到更及时的救治，同时也在一定程度上降低医疗成本。本文讨论数字健康在脑血管病领域的应用现状，展望其未来的发展趋势。
