Patient Monitoring Tool For An HIV/AIDS Integral Care Model.

摘要

The success of new therapeutic procedures based on combination of antiretroviral components is driving the need of new care models for HIV/AIDS patients. This paper addresses the definition and implementation of an HIV/AIDS integral care model grounded on medical, psychological and social patient self- monitoring procedures. The care model is implemented on a web-based monitoring tool bearing three main scenarios: self monitoring personal diary, data analysis and visualisation of data collected and an anonymous communication tool for patients and health/social care professionals. A preliminary validation of the model and system has been accomplished under the EU SEAHORSE project to assess the system performance and usability of the self-monitoring tool. Evaluation results show a positive users acceptance and give us feedback to improve the validity of the tool and the procedures that enable a web-based model for HIV/ AIDS patient care.
