Smart-Technologies in der Kinderpneumologie und -allergologie

ZUSAMMENFASSUNG

In der Medizin werden immer mehr digitale Anwendungen genutzt. Insbesondere der internationale Markt für medizinische Smart-Technologies wächst stetig und umfasst vielfältige Angebote, die von Apps bis zu mobilen Messgeräten reichen – sucht man jedoch deutschsprachige, für Kinder und Jugendliche geeignete Angebote, so ist die Auswahl deutlich geringer. Für die pädiatrische Pneumologie zeigen Studien erste vielversprechende Ergebnisse für den Einsatz von elektronischen Symptomtagebüchern, Smartphone-Spirometern und digitalen Inhalationshilfen. Digitale Hilfsmittel erhöhen die Therapieadhärenz bei Kindern mit Asthma. Im Bereich der pädiatrischen Allergologie sind vor allem Apps zur Pollenflugvorhersage weit verbreitet. Die Anwendung von Smart-Technologies könnte den Therapieerfolg bei verschiedenen Erkrankungen verbessern und die Versorgung in der pädiatrischen Pneumologie und Allergologie erleichtern. Aktuell steckt die Anwendung digitaler Anwendungen in diesem Bereich jedoch noch in ihren Anfängen, weshalb eine differenzierte Auswahl geeigneter Apps und Geräte nötig ist.

ABSTRACT

The medical landscape is witnessing a surge in the utilization of digital applications. The global market for medical smart technologies is growing continuously and includes a diverse range of options ranging from apps to portable measuring devices. However, the availability of German-language options suitable for children and adolescents is noticeably limited. Studies in pediatric pulmonology are revealing promising initial outcomes concerning the use of electronic symptom diaries, smartphone spirometers, and digital inhalation aids. Digital tools enhance therapy adherence in children with asthma. In the field of pediatric allergology, apps forecasting pollen levels are widely used. The application of smart technologies could enhance therapeutic outcomes in various diseases, simplifying care in pediatric pulmonology and allergology. Nevertheless, the implementation of digital applications in this domain is still in its early stages, necessitating a careful selection of suitable apps and devices.
