Background: Efficient appointment management is crucial in daycare units for eating disorders, where multidisciplinary teams coordinate various therapeutic sessions. Objectives: Establishing FHIR enhances scheduling efficiency, ensuring seamless communication between healthcare providers while enabling real-time updates rescheduling and cancellations. Methods: By integrating a digital health solution, the system supports comprehensive tracking of client’s treatment journey allows an adapting...
Summary Background: Blood transfusion is a highly prevalent procedure in hospitalized patients and some clinical scenarios it has lifesaving potential. However, most cases administered to hemodynamically stable with no benefit, but increased odds of adverse patient outcomes substantial direct indirect cost. Therefore, the concept Patient Management increasingly gained importance pre-empt reduce identify optimal volume for an individual when indicated. Objectives: It was our aim describe, how...
Heart failure is a serious disease which increases mortality as well hospital admission rates for affected patients. Disease management programs supported by telehealth solutions are cost-effective approaches reducing all-cause and heart hospitalizations. A 6-minute walk test (6MWT) app could help patients to self-monitor their functional capacity. We have developed such an application capable of tracking the geolocation, guiding users through 6MWT providing walked distance after six...
Background: The Integrated Treatment Pathway Stroke Tyrol was introduced for the care of people after an acute stroke event and includes four phases: prehospital care, inpatient treatment, rehabilitation ambulatory, outpatient rehabilitation. For 4th phase, ambulatory patients discharge, ICT platform “StrokeNet Tyrol” established. Methods: Requirements processes along pathway between interdisciplinary team were taken into account implementation based on a modular software architecture....
Since 2012 six AAL pilot regions were launched in Austria. The main goal of these is to evaluate the impact technologies daily use considering entire value chain. Additionally, go-to market strategies for assistive based on an involvement all relevant stakeholders are developed. Within this paper overview specific objectives, approaches and status Austrian given. Taking into account different experiences regions, challenges establishing, implementing sustaining region projects discussed...
Access to healthcare data for secondary use in clinical research is often restricted due privacy concerns or business interests, hindering comprehensive analysis across patient pathways. The Smart FOX project seeks address this challenge by developing concepts, methods, and tools facilitate citizen/patient-driven donations of health research. Leveraging the groundwork, laid national Electronic Health Record implementation Austria (called ELGA), aims harness structured datasets from ELGA...
While self-reported Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) symptom checklists have been extensively used during the pandemic, they not sufficiently validated from a psychometric perspective. We, therefore, advanced modelling to explore construct validity and internal consistency of an online COVID-19 checklist suggested adaptations where necessary. Fit Rasch model was examined in sample 1638 Austrian citizens who completed on up 20 days lockdown. The items’ fatigue’, ‘headache’ ‘sneezing’ had...
Chronic wounds present a significant healthcare challenge in Austria as well other countries. The interdisciplinary approach to wound treatment involving various caregivers, doctors, and relatives, poses challenges documentation information exchange. To overcome these barriers promote patient-centered care, new telehealth-supported pathway for chronic has been developed. primary focus was regularly update the status of by responding predefined questions transmitted images wound. This...
Background: CareNet is the IT-based tool for Case and Care Management (CCM) in Tyrol, which facilitates standardised documentation of CCM activities. Objectives: Analysing pilot usage Tyrol. Methods: Evaluation success user experience CareNet, expert interviews a questionnaire-based assessment. Results: Feedback from users both phases indicated that platform provides general benefits, but falls short fully supporting daily work experts avoiding need parallel use different tools. Conclusion:...

Abstract Heart failure (HF) is a chronic disease with high hospitalizations rates and increased mortality. The six-minute walk test (6MWT) standardized method to assess the functional health of HF patients by measuring distance walked in six minutes [1]. improved 6MWT new filter algorithms, based on development smartphone application [9], can be used everywhere good global navigation satellite system (GNSS) signal. This paper tests multiple filtering approaches reduce measured error...
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are the leading cause of death in Western world.Several modifiable risk factors contribute to pathogenesis CVD which all addressed during cardiac rehabilitation (CR).CR is conducted three phases: I: acute care hospital, II: subsequent in-or outpatient CR, and III: out-patient CR with focus on lifelong prevention.Despite its proven merits, adherence healthy lifestyle changes following completion phase II challenging.This gap recent recommendations, suggesting...
The 6-Minute Walk Test (6-MWT) is frequently used to evaluate functional physical capacity of patients with cardiovascular diseases. To determine reliability in remote care, outlier classification a mobile Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) based 6-MWT App had be investigated. raw data 53 measurements were Kalman filtered and afterwards layered Butterworth high-pass filter find correlation between the resulting Root Mean Square value (RMS) outliers relative walking distance errors...
The demand for extended care people suffering from heart failure is omnipresent. Wearables providing continuous rate measurement through optical sensors are of great interest due to their ease use without the need medical staff and low cost. In this study, seven wearables were tested in fifteen runs, with a duration fourteen-hour each, compared reference sensor. By calculating Pearson correlation root mean square error, as well graphical representation by Bland Altman plot, it was found that...
In this study, we investigated the effect of time shift in heartrate measurement by wearables, which might to be used telehealth applications for patients suffering from heart failure. Six wearables commercially available on market were tested a 14-hour measurement. Each wearable was three times five different test persons. A reference sensor accuracy wearables. We found that types shifts are common sensors tested: full days, hours (most probably due incorrect or unspecified zones) and range...
<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background:</bold> Inaccurate measurement of self-reported instruments including questionnaires and symptom checklists jeopardizes the comparability results. We therefore used advanced psychometric modelling to determine if fundamental principles an online COVID-19 checklist were met or whether adaptations necessary increase precision.<bold>Methods:</bold> Fit Rasch model was examined in a sample 1638 Austrian citizens who completed on up 20 days during period...
