Abstract:
Digital Medicine has become an integral part of clinical infectious diseases. For chronic infections such as HIV and Hepatitis C, treatment with software tools for resistance phenotyping has become standard of care. Computer-assisted decision aids as well as electronic health records are currently being implemented on a regional basis in Germany. They assist physicians in avoiding treatment errors and selecting antibiotics rationally.Mobile devices allow documentation of the course of chronic infections and improve communication between patient and physician. This offers new opportunities in areas with underdeveloped health infrastructure. In the future, it will become possible to integrate complex datasets, such as genome and microbiome, into clinical treatment decisions. This would adjust treatment individually based on host immune response, metabolism, and microbiota colonization.
