HBOTot

HBOTot is a term used to describe an integrated software platform proposed to support the administration of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). In this concept, HBOTot would coordinate patient management, treatment protocols, safety oversight, and outcomes documentation across HBOT services to improve consistency and data quality.

The platform would typically include a patient registry, a library of HBOT protocols, a scheduling and workflow engine, and interfaces to monitors and chamber control systems. It would track key treatment parameters such as chamber pressure, duration, gas composition, and treatment frequency, while maintaining audit trails and access controls.

Implementation considerations include regulatory compliance with data privacy laws, cybersecurity, and interoperability with existing electronic health records and device networks. Proposals for HBOTot emphasize modular architecture and open standards to allow integration with hospital information systems and HBOT equipment from multiple vendors.

As a concept, HBOTot has been discussed in professional forums and pilot projects aimed at quality improvement in HBOT services. However, there is no widely adopted specification or consensus on its features, data models, or standards, and published evaluations remain limited.
