We used ＂WeChat＂, ＂E nursing＂ and other Internet technologies to perform remote extended care and to observe the foot ulcer outcomes. Results： All foot ulcers healed with a wound healing time between 38 and 73 days （average 57.08 ~ 12.69 days）. Patients did not need to travel long distances to seek medical treatment for foot ulcers, improving their satisfaction. Conclusions： The implementation of extended care for elderly patients with diabetic foot ulcers was based on the application of Internet technology. It is helpful to facilitate medical treatment, share high quality health resources and promote disease rehabilitation.展开更多

We propose that the technology must support principles such as human rights, privacy, safety, and dignity. The voluntary contribution of people as participants in research must undergo the scrutiny of research plans by ethical review boards. Informed consent processes and procedures must be observed in this realm. Ethical issues arising in heterogeneous fields involving technology, end-users, service providers, and formal and informal caregivers pose important challenges. Attempting to maximize the ethical compliance of the results of this ICT （information and communication technology） project, we explore and suggest preventive measures for possible scenarios of misuse of this or related technology. Concluding, the observation of ethical principles throughout the development process can empower users to make informed decisions on the acceptance of ICT systems and services when these reach the market.展开更多
