Do I have to go to the hospital to be adjusted after having a brain pacemaker installed for Parkinson’s?

Q: Do I have to go to the hospital for a tune-up? DAV: Traditional regulation requires the patient to go to the hospital for regulation. However, our hospital is currently developing remote control, which is mainly divided into two parts – remote monitoring and control. Considering the lack of comprehensive network coverage and the instability of the network, what can be done at home at present is remote monitoring, remote control is still to be studied. Remote monitoring is before the patient leaves the hospital, the doctor will be within the next year may meet a variety of situations and response plan are well formulated; patients go home, the recovery process of abnormalities, you can apply remotely, the doctor through the network will be able to guide the patient to deal with. At the same time, the patient will go home with an intelligent control device, the device according to the patient’s state, to guide the patient or family members to fine-tune. There are two advantages of taking this remote monitoring approach, first, most Parkinson’s patients are elderly, back and forth inconvenient, often need the company of family members, spending a lot of manpower and financial resources; second, the patient traveled a long distance to the hospital to regulate a good, and then have to travel a long distance to go home to go, it is easy to affect the effect of regulation. Through remote monitoring, patients can get better treatment at home. Q: How does the hospital help patients realize remote monitoring? DAV: In the past, the concept of remote monitoring was mainly for hospital-to-hospital or hospital-to-community, but considering the motor symptoms of Parkinson’s patients, it is not very convenient to travel frequently between the hospital and home. Therefore, a special software has been developed, which patients can download at home to transmit their recent condition, and doctors can see the patient’s condition remotely through this software. Moreover, a database will be set up for each patient for regular tracking, in which the patient’s disease development for up to several years can be stored and updated in real time. When the patient has uncomfortable symptoms, it is easy for the doctor to make a quick judgment and deal with it in time.
