As telehealth plays an even greater role in global health care delivery, it will be increasingly important to develop a strong evidence base of successful, innovative solutions that can lead scalable and sustainable programs. This paper has two aims: (1) describe the challenges promoting implementation advance adoption (2) present research agenda for personalized within chronic disease management. Using from United States European Union, this provides overview current state services...
Heart failure is one of the leading causes hospitalization in United States. Advances big data solutions allow for storage, management, and mining large volumes structured semi-structured data, such as complex healthcare data. Applying these advances to has led development risk prediction models help identify patients who would benefit most from disease management programs an effort reduce readmissions cost, but results efforts have been varied. The primary aim this study was develop a...
Telemedicine plays an important role in the delivery of medical care, and will become increasingly prominent going forward. Current students are among first generation "digital natives" who well versed incorporation technology into social interaction. These positioned to apply advances communications patient care. Even so, providers require training effectively leverage these opportunities. Therefore, we recommend introducing telemedicine school curricula propose a model for incorporation.
A sizable majority of adult Internet users report looking for health information online. Social networking sites (SNS) like Facebook represent a common place to seek information, but very little is known about the representation and use content on SNS.Our goal in this study was understand role SNS seeking. More specifically, we aimed describe how conditions are represented Pages interact with these different conditions.We used Google Insights identify 20 most searched then each resulting...
The uptake of digital health technology (DHT) has been surprisingly low in clinical practice. Despite showing great promise to improve patient outcomes and disease management, there is limited information on the factors that contribute adoption DHT, particularly for hypertension management.This scoping review provides a comprehensive summary barriers facilitators DHT management reported published literature with focus provider- patient-related facilitators.This followed methodological...
Intensive remote monitoring programs for congestive heart failure have been successful in reducing costly readmissions, but may not be appropriate all patients. There is an opportunity to leverage the increasing accessibility of mobile technologies and consumer-facing digital devices empower patients their own health outside hospital setting. The iGetBetter system, a secure Web- telephone-based program, which leverages technology portable devices, offers creative solution at lower cost.The...
Background: Oral chemotherapy is increasingly used in place of traditional intravenous to treat patients with cancer. While oral includes benefits such as ease administration, convenience, and minimization invasive infusions, receive less oversight, support, symptom monitoring from clinicians. Additionally, adherence a well-documented challenge for cancer prescribed regimens. With the ever-growing presence smartphones potential efficacious behavioral intervention technology, we created...
Heart failure (HF) is a chronic condition affecting nearly 5.7 million Americans and leading cause of morbidity mortality. With an aging population, the cost associated with managing HF expected to more than double from US $31 billion in 2012 $70 by 2030. Readmission rates for patients are high-25% readmitted at 30 days 50% 6 months. Low medication adherence contributes poor management higher readmission rates. Remote telehealth monitoring programs aimed improved may improve reduce...
Background: Text messages are increasingly being used because of the low cost and ubiquitous nature mobile phones to engage patients in self-care behaviors. Self-care is particularly important achieving treatment outcomes type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Objective: This study examined effect personalized text on physical activity, as measured by a pedometer, clinical diverse population with T2DM. Methods: Move (TTM) incorporates activity monitoring coaching provide automated help T2DM...
To summarize the experience, performance and scientific output of long-running telemedicine networks delivering humanitarian services.
Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a disease affecting approximately 29.1 million people in the United States, and an additional 86 adults have prediabetes. Diabetes self-management education, complex health intervention composed of 7 behaviors, effective at improving self-care behaviors glycemic control. Studies employed text messages for reminders, motivational messaging that can serve as "cues to action," aiming improve glucose monitoring, appointment attendance, medication adherence.
Introduction Mind-body medical approaches may ameliorate chronic disease. Stress reduction is particularly helpful, but face-to-face delivery systems cannot reach all those who might benefit. An online, 3-dimensional virtual world be able to support the rich interpersonal interactions required of this approach. In pilot study, we explore feasibility translating a stress program into an online setting and estimate effect size intervention. Methods Findings Domain experts in technology joined...
Given the magnitude of increasing heart failure mortality, multidisciplinary approaches, in form disease management programs and other integrative models care, are recommended to optimize treatment outcomes. Remote monitoring, either as structured telephone support or telemonitoring a combination both, is fast becoming an integral part many programs. However, studies reporting on evaluation real-world remote monitoring scarce.This study aims evaluate effect program, Connected Cardiac Care...
Background: The widespread and increasing use of oral anti-cancer medications has been ushered in by a rapidly understanding cancer pathophysiology. Furthermore, their popular ease administration potential cost savings highlighted central position the health care system as whole. These facts have heightened appreciation unique challenges associated with medications; especially long-term these side effects that may impede optimal adherence to use. Therefore, we developed ChemOtheRapy...
Background: We determine whether Diabetes Connect (DC), a Web-based diabetes self-management program, can help patients effectively manage their and improve clinical outcomes. Methods: is 12-month program that allows with type 2 mellitus to upload blood glucose readings database, monitor trends, share data providers. To examine the impact of we analyzed patient utilization engagement data, outcomes, as well qualitative feedback from current potential users through focus groups. Results: 75...
Background: Despite the availability of effective medications and clinical guidelines for pain management, control is suboptimal in a sizeable proportion patients with cancer pain. The National Comprehensive Cancer Network recommend comprehensive multimodal approach management We developed mobile phone application, ePAL, based on to empower by prompting regular assessments coaching self-management. Objective: objective this study evaluate effect multidimensional phone-based controlling...
Personal Emergency Response Systems (PERS) are traditionally used as fall alert systems for older adults, a population that contributes an overwhelming proportion of healthcare costs in the United States. Previous studies focused mainly on qualitative evaluations PERS without longitudinal quantitative evaluation utilization users. To address this gap and better understand needs patients PERS, we analyzed trends using through home care management service large organization. Retrospective,...
Atrial fibrillation (AFib) is the most common form of heart arrhythmia and a potent risk factor for stroke. Nonvitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOACs) are routinely prescribed to manage AFib stroke risk; however, nonadherence treatment concern. Additional tools that support self-care medication adherence may benefit patients with AFib.The aim this study was evaluate perceived usability usefulness mobile app designed who NOACs.A previously developed based on early stage interview...
