Digital health tools comprise a wide range of technologies to support processes. The potential these effectively care transformation is widely accepted. However, scale implementation uneven among countries and regions. Identification common factors facilitating hampering the process may be useful for future policy recommendations.The aim this study was analyze digital social services, as well facilitate longitudinal assessment in 17 selected integrated chronic (ICC) programs from 8 European...
Background Over the last decade, telemedicine services have been introduced in public health care systems of several industrialized countries. In Catalonia, use eConsulta, an asynchronous teleconsultation service between primary professionals and citizens system, has already reached 1 million cases. Before COVID-19 pandemic, eConsulta was growing at a monthly rate 7%, growth exponential from March 15, 2020 to present day. Despite its widespread usage, there is little qualitative evidence...

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is one of the most important causes blindness worldwide, especially in developed countries. In diabetic patients, periodic examination back eye using a nonmydriatic camera has been widely demonstrated to be an effective system control and prevent onset DR. Convolutional neural networks have used detect DR, achieving very high sensitivities specificities.The objective this paper was develop artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm for detection signs DR patients...
