| Research Abstract |
We conducted an intervention study to clarify how effectively telemedicine system using multi-functional videophone could be used in lifestyle guidance, with a special focus on diet for diabetic patients cared for at home. Patients were assigned to a 3-month intervention group or to a usual care group. In the intervention group, patients and a medical professional communicated bi-directionally through a videophone-based communication system for 30 minutes, once a week. Intra-subjective comparison, the 3-month intervention program resulted in a significant decrease in the Body Weight (BW) (p<0.0005), and the average HbA1C level (p<0.005) compared to before intervention program. In usual care group, the average HbA1C level did not change significantly for six months. This novel bi-directional communication is useful for improving conditions of diabetes, BW, and hyperglycemia of homecare diabetes patients, thus, -reducing cardiovascular risk.
