| Research Abstract |
We developed the Life Management Telenursing System for Home Oxygen Therapy (LMS-HOT) for chronic respiratory failure patients to prevent acute exacerbation of respiratory failure and detect it early.
LMS-HOT consists of four systems administered by the nursing monitoring center : internet terminals in the patient's home for physical and mental self-assessment ; telemonitoring with literature-based algorithms that trigger individualized response messages; the server supporting the interactions and care system; and educational systems to guide patient compliance.
Five volunteers (a sixth withdrew at day 6 due to another disease) used this system for more than two months (total 953 days experience). Their self-monitoring data, system responses, and patient responses to the Health-Related QOL SF-36 and statements about using LMS-HOT provided data for our evaluation.
1. Patients submitted 876 reports. 701 possible exacerbation episodes were identified when one or more parameters triggered the

emergency alarm, an over-all incidence rate of 80%. Of the possible exacerbation episodes, 67.1% were judged to be emergencies ; the number of emergencies per reports per patient varied (4/55, 48/230, 301/340, 71/79, 164/172). On the day of triggering parameters were significantly lower for SpO_2, peak flow, pulse rate, systolic blood pressure, body temperature, Borg scale score, and daily total points. There were no hospital readmissions.
2. HR-QOL (SF36) was improved in function related to physical (RP), body pain (BP), vitality (VT) but changes were not statistically significant.
3 The patients reported that LMS-HOT alleviated anxieties in daily life, resolved problems at early stage, improved self-care consciousness, and provided a sense of security.
4. The cost of maintaining a patient at home using LMS-HOT was 25% of a usual readmission hospital stay.
5. We organized two telementoring seminars in 2006-2007 attended by 146 people (37.7% nurses ; 29.5% other health professionals ; 32.9% others). 87.5% gave positive evaluations. We prepared a telementoring textbook and distributed it to each participant. Less
