Background Patients undergoing surgery often experience stress and anxiety, which can increase complications hinder recovery. Effective management of these psychological factors is key to improving outcomes. Preoperative anxiety inversely correlated with the amount information patients receive, but accessible, personalized support remains limited, especially in preoperative settings. Face-to-face education impractical due resource constraints. Digital health (DH) interventions offer a...
Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, has reached epidemic proportions in developed countries. The disease two main forms: type 1 and 2. Disease management entails administration of insulin combination with careful blood glucose monitoring (type 1) or involves the adjustment diet exercise level, use oral anti-diabetic drugs, to control sugar 2).State-of-the-art technologies have potential assist healthcare professionals, patients, informal carers better manage diabetes therapy, help patients...
Informal care is considered to be important for the wellbeing and resilience of elderly. However, solutions effective collaboration healthcare professionals, patients, informal caregivers are not yet widely available. The purpose this paper present development a digital platform that uses innovative tools artificial intelligence technologies support coordination shared planning elder care, with particular focus on frailty. challenges in frailty demonstrated, followed by presentation design...
The ever-growing demand for acquiring, managing and exploi ng pa ent health related informa on has led to the development of many e-Health systems applica ons.However, despite number already developed apparent need such systems, end users can only collect online exploit, a limited set purposes in context personalized, preven ve par cipatory medicine.To this direc on, paper ini ally presents personal record (PHR) concept, work best prac ces PHR standardized manner.It also outlines proposal...
The development of electronic services for healthcare presents challenges related to the effective cooperation systems and stakeholders in a highly regulated environment. In order facilitate all at point need it is important establish necessary conditions guide implementation digital health solutions that are interoperable by design. Interoperability eHealth challenging various reasons, including fact different products market do not follow well-known standards interoperability guidelines....
Sensor-based health systems can often become difficult to use, extend and sustain. The authors propose a framework for designing sensor-based monitoring aiming provide extensible usable services in the scope of pervasive patient care. authors' approach relies on distributed system status anytime-anywhere detecting potential complications, which healthcare professionals patients are notified accordingly. Portable or wearable sensing devices measure patient's physiological parameters, smart...
The status of the data-driven management cancer care as well challenges, opportunities, and recommendations aimed at accelerating rate progress in this field are topics great interest. Two international workshops, one conducted June 2019 Cordoba, Spain, October Athens, Greece, were organized by four Horizon 2020 (H2020) European Union (EU)-funded projects: BOUNCE, CATCH ITN, DESIREE, MyPal. issues covered included patient engagement, knowledge decision support systems, journey,...
The implementation of health information systems is known to be complex and challenging. To facilitate the introduction IS in care, research should investigate way affects human actions organizational structures reasons it them that way. Studying dynamic relationship between cause effect could help make better design decisions achieve desired outcomes. Two theories are presented 'what' 'why' implementation. Structuration theory introduces notion interdependency structures. Heeks'...
Breast cancer is the most common disease in women and rapidly becoming a chronic illness due recent advances treatment methods. As such, coping with has become major socio-economic challenge leading to an increasing need for predicting resilience of variety stressful experiences practical challenges they face. In this paper, we present data infrastructure developed purpose, demonstrating various components that will contribute developing trajectory predictor. Special emphasis given semantic...
The lives of millions people have been affected during the coronavirus pandemic that spread throughout world in 2020. Society is changing establishing new norms for healthcare education, social life, and business. Digital health has seen an accelerated implementation response to challenges. In this perspective paper, authors highlight features digital platforms are important order support integrated care a pandemic. platform Safe COVID-19 used as example. Integrated can only be supported...
Stress and anxiety are psychophysiological responses commonly experienced by patients during the perioperative process that can increase presurgical postsurgical complications to a comprehensive positive recovery. Preventing intervening in stress help achieve health well-being outcomes. Similarly, provision of education about surgery be crucial component is inversely correlated with preoperative levels. However, few receive relief support before surgery, resource constraints make...
This paper draws upon the experience of production level implementations, initiated through public procurement, four regional health information networks (RHINs). The RHINs are being implemented in authorities (RHAs) Greece to support patient‐centred services. focuses on three key areas: (i) engineering issues related deployment an integrated electronic record (EHR) system, (ii) management regarding implementation and planning, (iii) socio‐organizational influencing outcome large scale EHR...
The development of electronic services for healthcare presents challenges related to the effective cooperation systems and stakeholders in a highly regulated environment. Assessing interoperability maturity provided helps identify issues public administration. This paper typical digital service: inpatient admission hospital Greece. Interoperability Maturity Model (IMM) is applied assess its maturity, improvement priorities, compare it with sector. An analysis also performed group fourteen...
Reliable and secure access to sharing of medical data can help patients practice self-care, promote patient engagement improve their communication with healthcare professionals. This requires overcoming several interoperability, usability, ethics, security, regulatory issues. The existence a common interoperability framework accelerate digital transformation in support disease specific solutions. paper presents useful relevant management the potential quality life better control costs for...
Informal care is fundamental in the wellbeing and resilience of elderly people with chronic conditions. However, solutions for effective collaboration healthcare professionals, patients informal carers are not yet widely available. CareKeeper builds on a state-of-the-art personal health system, augmenting it Artificial Intelligence Big Data technologies, to boost coordination. In this paper we report design platform aim providing light-weighted communication solution support practical...
