Effectiveness of eHealth on the Self-management of Health Status and QOL Among CAD Patients

Effectiveness of eHealth on the Self-management, Physiological Health and Quality of Life Among Coronary Artery Disease Patients

This article uses the smart medical case management tracking system, combined with various terminal devices to fully record the measured data (pulse, blood pressure) for case home care tracking to prevent the occurrence and deterioration of the disease. Therefore, with the promotion of the eHealth medical staff and members of the family can instantly grasp the health of the body and cultivate the habits of self-health management and enhance the quality of care. Therefore, we hope to use the Smart Health Cloud as an interventional measure to improve the care of patients with coronary artery disease, improve self-management ability and quality of life.

The World Health Organization points out that cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of global deaths, killing 17.1 million people worldwide each year, accounting for 31% of the world's total deaths. Heart disease is the second leading cause of death in China. Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the majority, and coronary artery disease is the most common cardiovascular disease. Good self-management can reduce disease risk factors and improve related prognosis. It is also an important issue in health promotion around the world. This article uses the smart medical case management tracking system, combined with various terminal devices to fully record the measured data (pulse, blood pressure) for case home care tracking to prevent the occurrence and deterioration of the disease. Therefore, with the promotion of the eHealth medical staff and members of the family can instantly grasp the health of the body and cultivate the habits of self-health management and enhance the quality of care.
