Burn Injuries

5.1K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Issues And Trends In Healthcare Delivery System

6.5K
The issues and trends in healthcare delivery are constantly changing. The COVID-19 pandemic is one recent issue that wreaked havoc on healthcare systems, causing a shortage of healthcare workers, high demand for medicines and supplies, and increased medical expenditure due to a lack of insurance. Other issues include rising healthcare costs and care fragmentation.
Cost Containment
Payment for healthcare services has historically promoted adoption of costly and often unnecessary or inefficient...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Mobile Health
  • Burn Care Technology

Background:

  • Smartphone applications (apps) have surged in popularity within the medical field.
  • Assessing burn severity and fluid requirements often involves complex calculations.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the availability and features of medical apps for burn management in major app stores.
  • To review the developers, functionalities, and costs of burn-related apps.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic online review of Google Play Store and Apple's App Store.
  • Searched using terms: "burn," "burns," "thermal," and "Verbrennung."
  • Included medical apps for burns; analyzed calculation apps against a standardized patient.

Main Results:

  • Identified four app types: calculators, information, book/journal, and games.
  • 31 burn-related apps in Google Play Store; 39 in Apple's App Store.
  • Calculation apps for total body surface area (TBSA) and total fluid requirement (TFR) were prevalent; 19/32 calculation apps showed correlation for TFR.

Conclusions:

  • Numerous burn management apps are accessible on both Android and iOS platforms.
  • Free calculation apps offer objective burn assessment, potentially improving upon manual methods.
  • Data security in burn calculation apps requires further attention; additional clinical studies are recommended.
