Cancer pain is a prevalent and distressing symptom. To enhance self-management in outpatients, multi-component intervention was developed, integrating patient professional care through healthcare technology. This article describes feasibility of the everyday practice.Patients with moderate to severe cancer (n = 11) registered nurses specialized palliative 3) participated four-week study. The involved daily monitoring, graphical feedback, education, advice by means mobile application for...
To develop a web-based self-monitoring tool including motivational elements to improve empowerment of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Following design thinking approach, the development included three iterative, co-creative phases involving different stakeholders. In 'empathise and define' phase, two focus groups gave insight into patients' wishes needs regarding an application. During 'ideation' co-creation sessions were organised establish content consider elements. For 'prototyping...
User-centered design (UCD) methodologies can help take the needs and requirements of potential end-users into account during development innovative telecare products services. Understanding how members multidisciplinary teams experience UCD process might to gain insight factors that with different backgrounds consider critical services.The primary objective this study was explore experienced The secondary identify differences similarities in barriers facilitators they experienced.Twenty-five...
While the 10-year survival rate for localized prostate cancer patients is very good (>98%), side effects of treatment may limit quality life significantly. Erectile dysfunction (ED) a common burden associated with increasing age as well treatment. Although many studies have investigated factors affecting erectile after treatment, only limited whether ED can be predicted before start The advent machine learning (ML) based prediction tools in oncology offers promising approach to improve...
Background: A paradigm shift in healthcare from illness to wellbeing requires new assessment technologies and intervention strategies. Self-monitoring tools based on the Experience Sampling Method might provide a solution. The PsyMate™ is an experience-sampling platform that enables patients monitor both vulnerability resilience daily life. Although extensively used research, translation science into clinical practice needed. Objective: To investigate redesign process of for detailed...
A large number of people suffer from psychosocial or physical problems. Adequate strategies to alleviate needs are scarce lacking. Symptom variation can offer insights into personal profiles coping and resilience (detailed functional analyses). Hence, diaries used report mood behavior occurring in daily life. To reduce inaccuracies, biases, noncompliance with paper diaries, a shift electronic has occurred. Although these increasingly health care, information is lacking about what determines...
Pain is a prevalent and distressing symptom in patients with cancer, having an enormous impact on functioning quality of life. Fragmentation care, inadequate pain communication, reluctance towards medication contribute to difficulties optimizing outcomes. Integration patient self-management professional care by means healthcare technology provides new opportunities the outpatient setting.This study protocol outlines two-armed multicenter randomized controlled trial that compares based...
Introduction Urinary incontinence (UI) is a common side effect of prostate cancer treatment, but in clinical practice, it difficult to predict. Machine learning (ML) models have shown promising results predicting outcomes, yet the lack transparency complex known as “black-box” has made clinicians wary relying on them sensitive decisions. Therefore, finding balance between accuracy and explainability crucial for implementation ML models. The aim this study was employ three different...
Different curative treatment modalities need to be considered in case of localized prostate cancer, all comparable terms survival and recurrence though different side effects. To better inform patients support shared decision making, the development a web-based patient aid including personalized risk information was proposed. This paper reports on requirements content information, visualization profiles, use practice. Based Dutch 10-step guide about setup next practice guideline, an...
Digital health is a promising tool to support people with an elevated risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) and patients established improve outcomes. Many digital initiatives have been developed employed. However, barriers their large-scale implementation remained. This paper focuses on these presents solutions as proposed by the Dutch CARRIER (ie, Coronary ARtery disease: Risk estimations Interventions prevention EaRly detection) consortium. We will focus in 4 sections...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is best managed by neurologists, traditionally including frequent doctor-patient contact. Because of a rise in PD prevalence and associated healthcare costs, this personnel-intensive care may not be future proof. Telemedicine tools for home monitoring have shown to reduce consumption several chronic diseases also seem promising PD.To explore whether telemonitoring can outpatient PD.We conducted cohort study with 116 outpatients who used the telemedicine tool...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> The healthcare sector is under significant pressure, with demand outpacing supply and multiple challenges in accessibility, affordability, quality. organization of current systems unsustainable, exacerbated by labor shortages escalating expenditures, particularly Europe the Netherlands. To address these issues, hospitals are increasingly adopting digital transformation strategies, leveraging technology data-driven care to ensure sustainability systems. This...
<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease poses a heavy burden on the population’s health and healthcare costs. Identifying apparently healthy individuals at-risk of developing diseases using clinical prediction models raises awareness, facilitates shared decision-making, supports tailored management prevention. In CARRIER project, personalized risk (CVRM) eCoach approach is co-created, in which identified receive education, guidance, monitoring to prevent...
Collaboration with diverse stakeholders in eHealth research is fundamental yet complex. Stakeholders from various disciplines do not "speak the same language" and have different levels of power interest, resulting contrasting objectives, priorities, expectations. An approach to constructive communication collaboration necessary overcome this complex dynamic. Cocreation, known field most often involve end users, may also be suitable for facilitating stakeholder engagement alignment.This paper...
