Decades of steady improvements in life expectancy Europe slowed down from around 2011, well before the COVID-19 pandemic, for reasons which remain disputed. We aimed to assess how changes risk factors and cause-specific death rates different European countries related those during pandemic. used data methods Global Burden Diseases, Injuries, Risk Factors Study 2021 compare at birth, causes death, population exposure 16 Economic Area (Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,...
E-learning has been heralded as a revolutionary force for medical education, especially low-resource countries still suffering from dire lack of health care workers. However, despite over two decades e-learning endeavors and interventions across sub-Saharan Africa other low- middle-income countries, education not gained momentum continues to fall short the anticipated revolution. Many have cul-de-sac pilots that scaled up but rather terminated after pilot phase. This is usually result...

This paper reports estimates disease burden in EU individual 27 countries 2019, compares them with those 2010. Methods We used Global Disease 2019 study 95% uncertainty intervals whole each country to evaluate age-standardised death, years life lost (YLLs), lived disability (YLDs) disability-adjusted (DALYs)...
Background Wearable devices may generate valuable data for global health research low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). However, wearable studies in LMICs are scarce. This study aims to investigate the use of consumer-grade wearables individual-level vulnerable populations LMICs, focusing on acceptability (quality being accepted or even liked) feasibility (the state workable, realizable, practical, including aspects completeness plausibility). Methods We utilized a mixed-methods approach...
As the epidemiological transition progresses throughout sub-Saharan Africa, life lived with diseases is an increasingly important part of a population’s burden disease. The disease climate-sensitive health outcomes projected to increase considerably within next decades. Objectively measured, reliable population data still limited and primarily based on perceived illness from recall. Technological advances like non-invasive, consumer-grade wearable devices may play vital role in alleviating...
Although climate change is one of the biggest global health threats, individual-level and short-term data on direct exposure impacts are still scarce. Wearable electronic devices (wearables) present a potential solution to this research gap. Wearables have become widely accepted in various areas for ecological momentary assessment, some studies used wearables field health. However, these vary study design, demographics, outcome variables, existing has not been mapped.In review, we aimed map...
Background Consumer-grade wearables are becoming increasingly popular in research and clinical contexts. These technologies hold significant promise for advancing digital medicine, particularly remote rural areas low-income settings like sub-Saharan Africa, where climate change is exacerbating health risks. This study evaluates the data agreement between consumer-grade research-established devices under standardized conditions. Methods Twenty-two participants (11 women, 11 men) performed a...
Background Climate change significantly impacts health in low-and middle-income countries (LMICs), exacerbating vulnerabilities. Comprehensive data for evidence-based research and decision-making is crucial but scarce. Health Demographic Surveillance Sites (HDSSs) Africa Asia provide a robust infrastructure with longitudinal population cohort data, yet they lack climate-health specific data. Acquiring this information essential understanding the burden of climate-sensitive diseases on...
Background Climate change increasingly impacts health, particularly of rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa due to their limited resources for adaptation. Understanding these remains a challenge, as continuous monitoring vital signs such is limited. Wearable devices (wearables) present viable approach studying on human health real time. Objective The aim this study was assess the feasibility and effectiveness consumer-grade wearables measuring weather exposure physiological responses...
The adverse health impacts of climate change are increasing on a global level. However, knowledge about and is still unavailable to many citizens, in particular adaptation measures co-benefits mitigation. Educational technologies, such as massive open online courses (MOOCs), may have high potential for providing access information links audience. We developed three MOOCs addressing the link between take advantage methodology’s broad reach accelerate dissemination nexus health. primary...
Abstract Background High ambient air temperatures in Africa pose significant health and behavioral challenges populations with limited access to cooling adaptations. The built environment can exacerbate heat exposure, making passive home adaptations a potential method for protecting occupants against indoor exposure. Methods We are conducting 2-year community-based stratified cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) implementing sunlight-reflecting roof coatings, known as “cool roofs,”...
