Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a global concern that presents significant challenges for management. Several factors drive CKD prevalence, including primary risk factors, such as type 2 diabetes and hypertension, an ageing population.
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Unhealthy lifestyle behaviors have been identified as a major cause of numerous health issues with steady global increase. Addressing this challenge requires comprehensive behavioral changes to promote sustainable healthier adoption. However, despite the prevalent need, cost effective and successful health-related behavior change virtual coaching, remain scarce. </sec> <title>OBJECTIVE</title> This paper presents holistic framework for designing, modeling...
Cost‐containment measures in healthcare provision include the implementation of therapeutic and generic drug substitution strategies patients whose condition is already well controlled with pharmacotherapy. Treatment for hypertension frequently targeted such measures. However, acquisition costs are only part cost‐effectiveness equation, a variety other factors need to be taken into account when assessing impact switching antihypertensives. From clinical perspective, considerations...
Background:Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) affects 382 million people worldwide.Introduction:This study aimed at assessing whether telemonitoring (TM) of DM patients improves health-related quality life (HRQoL).Materials and Methods:As part the RENEWING HEALTH project, 299 with HbA1c >7.0% were enrolled in a randomized controlled trial, 208 TM group 91 usual-care group. electronically transmitted glucose measurements to physicians during 12-month follow-up. The SF-36v2 questionnaire was used...
Given the current financial climate there is an ever-increasing need to substitute drug treatments optimize expenditure. A closer examination of beliefs surrounding when substitution appropriate led a group European healthcare experts argue that in some cases these may be unfounded and guidelines are needed for clinical practice. The manage minimize costs increasingly important systems across world. Generic already used widely throughout Europe payers looking towards therapeutic make...
To evaluate the impact in terms of use health services, clinical outcomes, functional status, and patient's satisfaction an integrated care program, CareWell for complex patients with multimorbidity, supported by information communication technology platforms six European regions.Primary data were used follow-up period ranged between 8 12 months.A quasi-experimental study, targeting chronic aged 65 or older, 2 more conditions - one them necessarily being diabetes, congestive heart failure...

LifeChamps is an EU Horizon 2020 project that aims to create a digital platform enable monitoring of health-related quality life and frailty in patients with cancer over the age 65. Our primary objective assess feasibility, usability, acceptability, fidelity, adherence, safety parameters when implementing routine care. Secondary objectives involve evaluating preliminary signals efficacy cost-effectiveness indicators.
Background: Although ranolazine has been available for years as a second-line treatment to reduce angina attacks in patients with stable pectoris, real-world data on the effectiveness, tolerability, and safety of are limited. Methods: A non-interventional, prospective study was conducted assess effectiveness ranolazine. Patients eligible enrolment had baseline assessment between one fourteen days after initiating first time follow-up visit three months later. The primary endpoints comprised...
Information and communication technology may provide domiciliary care programs with continuity of care.
