To support the self-management of heart failure, a team hospital clinicians, patients, and family caregivers have co-designed consumer mobile health app, Care4myHeart.This research aimed to determine patient experiences using app self-manage failure.Patients with failure used for 14 days on their own smart device in home setting, following which mixed-methods evaluation was performed. Eight patients were recruited, whom six completed Mobile Application Rating Scale attended an interview.The...

Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) remain the largest global public health threat. The emerging field of precision (PPH) offers a transformative opportunity to capitalize on digital data create an agile, responsive and data-driven system actively prevent NCDs. Using learnings from health, our aim is propose vision toward PPH for NCDs across three horizons transformation: Horizon 1—digital workflows; 2—population analytics; 3—precision health. This perspective provides high-level strategic...

Health care organizations understand the importance of new technology implementations; however, best strategy for implementing successful digital transformations is often unclear. Digital health maturity assessments allow providers to progress made toward technology-enhanced service delivery. Existing models have been criticized their lack depth and breadth because focus neglect meaningful outcomes.

Heart failure is a prevalent, progressive chronic disease costing in excess of $1billion per year Australia alone. Disease self-management has positive implications for the patient and decreases healthcare usage. However, adherence to recommended guidelines challenging existing literature reports sub-optimal adherence. mHealth applications education have potential facilitate enablement self-management. To best our knowledge no heart application available safe use by patients. In this paper,...

Abstract Background For many countries, especially those outside the USA without incentive payments, implementing and maintaining electronic medical records (EMR) is expensive can be controversial given large amounts of investment. Evaluating value EMR implementation necessary to understand whether or not, such investment, when it comes from public source, an efficient allocation healthcare resources. Nonetheless, most countries have struggled measure return on investment due lack...

ABSTRACT Introduction This study aimed to (a) determine the unmet clinical resource needs of multidisciplinary primary healthcare practitioners (PHPs) overcome evidence‐based barriers preventing and managing childhood obesity in practice; (b) co‐design precision solutions identified PHPs. Methods qualitative was conducted across three phases: (1) assessment with 18 PHPs over five virtual focus groups, (2) participatory, user‐centred via an online design workshop four caregivers, (3)...

ObjectiveWith the digital transformation of hospitals having unfolded globally, it is important to understand impacts eHealth on hospital practice. This study aims update two previous narrative reviews systematic and assess: (1) what current state in hospitals? (2) how have these changed over time?MethodsA review investigating impact (i.e. Electronic Medical Records (EMR), Clinical Decision Support System (CDSS), ePrescribing, Computerised Provider Order Entry (CPOE)) published between 2...

Evidence-based actions address recommendations (1) ensure foundational workforce capability (2) build specialist career...

Heart failure self-management can be challenging but appropriately designed, user-centred mobile health (mHealth) innovations may help. We have built a consumer mHealth application which we plan to implement as an adjunct existing specialist multidisciplinary heart care at our service. the double aim meet needs of patients and ensure clinical relevance in order recommended by clinicians. This paper reports participatory, co-design process conceptual design iterative development application....

Consumer health care technology shows potential to improve outcomes for community-dwelling persons with chronic conditions, yet app quality varies considerably. In partnership patients and family caregivers, hospital clinicians developed Care4myHeart, a mobile (mHealth) heart failure (HF) self-management.The aim of this paper was report the nurse-led design process in form features functions app, Care4myHeart.Seven patients, four seven multidisciplinary collaborated thinking innovation. The...

Using participatory co-design methods and in partnership with consumers we have developed a mHealth application to support heart failure self-management. In the first phase of research conducted needs analysis clinicians. The objectives were define features perceivably self-management clinical requirements preparation for its implementation as an adjunct existing multidisciplinary care. Interviews using ‘Rose, Thorn, Bud’ technique from Design Thinking together...

Digital healthcare aims to deliver on the quadruple aim: enhance patient experiences, improve population health, reduce costs and provider experiences. Despite large investments, it is unclear how advancing digital health enables these aims.

Digital health maturity models allow healthcare organizations to evaluate digital capability and develop roadmaps for improving patient care through technology. There are many available commercially providers use assess their maturity. Currently, there limited evidence-based methods the quality, utility, efficacy of select most appropriate model given context.To a framework facilitate recommendations selection.A systematic, consultative, iterative process was used. Literature analyses...

Heart failure self-management can be complex and challenging. We are collaborating with healthcare professionals, patients families to co-design a consumer mHealth application in support of heart self-management. Four patient-modelled personas, developed through ethnographic interviews, were used workshop activities represent the patient experience associated health challenges. explain how persona use benefited patients, design team project lead terms efficiency, effectiveness anonymity, our...

Innovative, patient-centered mHealth interventions have the potential to help with burden of chronic conditions. This review aims describe development consumer for condition self-management. A scoping methodology was used search medical databases eligible reports, published between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017, that provided information on respiratory disease, cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease.
