摘要

This research aimed to create a Nutrition Therapy System (NTS) using Internet Technology for monitoring and controlling the nutrition for elderly with diabetes. The system's basic functions include a patient management subsystem, an electronic logbook, a nutrition module, a dictionary for diabetes-related terminology, a diabetic-physician data transfer module and an on-line help capability. NTS provides a data capturing capability, trend analysis, and nutrition decision support to improve the monitoring and maintenance of diabetes. It was designed to be used by both a physician and a patient and can also serve as a useful knowledge aid for a new diabetic. Its basic advantages lie in its comprehensiveness and flexibility. It is also user-friendly, easy to operate, and does not require any previous computer experience. The NTS was highly acceptable: 85%patients found it easy to operate while 83%found it useful. The NTS was thus a feasible model of computer-based in diabetes care and it is warranted the cost-effectiveness.
