A Systematic Review And Meta-Analysis Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3

It is not known if and how cellular phone based technologies improve outcomes in what concerns the monitoring of chronic diseases and the relation between patients and caregivers. Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3

Background Increasing frequency Improvement of the relationship between the doctor and patients Promotion of an healthier behavior Self-care promotion Information exchange and emotional support Management of the demand for health services Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3

Aims Investigate if cellular phone based technologies can help patients in the process of monitoring their illnesses Analyze if these technologies improve clinical outcomes Verify the feasibility and usability of these technologies Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3

Methods Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis Scientific Article as the unit of analysis Databases: PubMed, AtoZ, UpToDate, ISI Web of Knowledge, Google Scholar and SCOPUS Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3

Expected Results It is possible that patients have evaluated these technologies positively. Professionals may have some doubts about their benefits. Mobile phone based technologies may be costly. Some patients may show some difficulties due to their weak familiarity with cellular phone use, age or level of education. Prof. Doutor João A. FonsecaIntrodução à Medicina ITurma 3
