Despite significant efforts, the COVID-19 pandemic has put enormous pressure on health care systems around world, threatening quality of patient care. Telemonitoring offers opportunity to carefully monitor patients with a confirmed or suspected case from home and allows for timely identification worsening symptoms. Additionally, it may decrease number hospital visits admissions, thereby reducing use scarce resources, optimizing capacity, minimizing risk viral transmission. In this paper, we...

Background eHealth offers opportunities to improve health and healthcare systems overcome primary care challenges in low-resource settings (LRS). LRS has been typically associated with low- middle-income countries (LMIC), but they can be found high-income (HIC) when human, physical or financial resources are constrained. Adopting a concept of that applies LMIC HIC facilitate knowledge interchange between initiatives while improving provision for socioeconomically disadvantaged groups across...

Paediatric critical care nurses face challenges in promptly detecting patient deterioration and delivering high-quality care, especially low-resource settings (LRS). Patient monitors equipped with data-driven algorithms that monitor integrate clinical data can optimise scarce resources (e.g. trained staff) offering solutions to these challenges. Poor algorithm output design workflow integration, however, are important factors hindering successful implementation. This study aims explore...

Diagnostics are increasingly shifting to patients' home environment, facilitated by new digital technologies. Digital diagnostics (diagnostic services enabled technologies) can be a tool better respond the challenges faced primary care systems while aligning with and healthcare professionals' needs. However, it needs clarified how determine success of these interventions.We aim provide practical guidance facilitate adequate development implementation diagnostics.Here, we propose quadruple...

<sec> <title>BACKGROUND</title> Health apps are increasingly being used to promote health, manage diseases, and deliver healthcare services. Still, there is scarce objective information regarding their quality beyond the required CE mark for medical apps, leading potential risks users. To address these challenges, several authorities have developed health app assessment frameworks. In 2017, TIC Salut Social Foundation (FTSS) in Catalonia its own framework, use since that year. The...
