The Necessity of Sharing Medical Information for Congenital GIT Anomalies in Virtual Space

Abstract

Congenital anomalies of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) require timely diagnosis and surgical intervention. With the advancement of information technologies, there is a growing need to establish virtual platforms for the exchange of medical information between healthcare professionals, parents, and patients. This article explores the necessity of such information sharing through a mobile application designed to provide accessible guidance, consultation options, and support for families caring for children with congenital GIT anomalies. [1], [2].

A survey conducted among parents of 30 surgically treated children revealed a strong willingness to use such an application, especially if it includes features like direct chat with doctors, a consultation calendar, and educational resources. The findings emphasize the critical importance of reliable, comprehensible information and highlight ethical and legal challenges related to personal data protection. [3], [4].

The study concludes that sharing medical information in the virtual space can significantly improve patient care, provided that mechanisms are in place to ensure information accuracy and data security. [1], [4], [5].
