数字疗法在骨科中的应用进展与思考

Application progress and thinking of digital therapeutics in orthopedics

近年来,信息通信技术、大数据和人工智能的飞速发展为探索新的医疗方式提供了技术支持,数字疗法(digital therapeutics,DTx)应运而生。目前DTx在骨科中的应用还处于初步探索阶段,因此,该文结合笔者应用DTx的体验,总结了DTx的定义和形成过程,以及数字健康、数字医疗、DTx的关系,评价了现有骨科相关DTx产品的工作原理及其应用效果,分析其在应用过程中的不足并展望其未来的发展趋势,旨在为DTx在骨科中的全面发展及应用奠定基础。

In recent years,the rapid development of information and communication technology,big data,and artificial intelligence has provided technical support for exploring new medical methods,leading to the emergence of digital therapeutics(DTx).At present,the application of DTx in orthopedics is still in the preliminary exploration stage.Therefore,based on the authors’experience of applying DTx,this article summarizes the definition and formation process of DTx,as well as the relationship among digital health,digital medicine,and DTx,evaluates the working principles and application effects of existing orthopedic related DTx products,analyzes their shortcomings in the application process,and looks forward to their future development trends,aiming to lay a foundation for the comprehensive development and application of DTx in orthopedics.
