The nursing role significantly changed following reforms in the nurse training process. Nowadays, nurses are increasingly trained to promote and improve quality of clinical practice provide support assistance patients communities. Opportunities threats emerging as a consequence introduction new disruptive technologies public health, which requires health care staff develop digital skills.The aim this paper is review define skills they asked master terms methodological approaches knowledge...
Background University students are increasingly reporting common mental health problems, such as stress, anxiety, and depression, they frequently face barriers to seeking psychological support because of stigma, cost, availability services. This issue is even more critical in the challenging time COVID-19 pandemic. Digital interventions, those delivered via chatbots on mobile devices, offer potential achieve scalability healthy-coping interventions by lowering cost supporting prevention....
Background: Nutrition and diet apps represent today a popular area of mobile health (mHealth), offering the possibility delivering behavior change (BC) interventions for healthy eating weight management in scalable cost-effective way. However, if commercial pediatric fail to retain users because lack theoretical background evidence-based content, mHealth that are more found less engaging among consumers. Approaching development process from multidisciplinary user-centered design (UCD)...
Virtual Reality Environments (VREs) are widely deployed in mental health treatments, often associated with relaxation techniques. The personalization of natural VR-based scenarios is a key element that can further facilitate users’ sense presence and relaxation. This study explored the role VREs’ user experience an environment supporting relaxation, by deploying mixed methods. Methods: A non-clinical sample 20 individuals participated exposure to supportive body-scan-guided VRE. In...
The overarching goals of the European Innovation Partnership on Active and Healthy Ageing (EIP AHA) are to enable citizens lead healthy, active independent lives whilst ageing. EIP AHA includes 74 Reference Sites. aim this study was transfer innovation from an app developed by MACVIA-France reference site (Allergy Diary) other sites. phenotypic characteristics rhinitis asthma multimorbidity in adults elderly will be compared using validated information communication technology (ICT) tools...
The potential benefits of the introduction electronic and mobile health (mHealth) information technologies, to support safe delivery intravenous chemotherapy or oral anticancer therapies, could be exponential in context a highly integrated computerized system.
Background Empirical evidence has shown that virtual reality (VR) scenarios can increase the effects of relaxation techniques, reducing anxiety by enabling people to experience emotional conditions in more vivid settings. Objective This pilot randomized controlled study aims investigate whether progressive muscle technique (PMRT) associated with a personalized scenario VR promotes psychological well-being and facilitates recall relaxing images than standard complementary intervention...
Background The relation between early afterdepolarizations (EADs) and changes in intracellular Ca 2+ concentration ([Ca ] i ) is still unclear. In the present study, we compared spatiotemporal [Ca related to EADs delayed (DADs) induced by isoproterenol. Methods Results Isolated patch-clamped guinea pig ventricular myocytes, loaded with fluo-3 acetoxymethyl ester (fluo-3 AM), were paced at 0.1 2 Hz. Isoproterenol (100 nmol/L) caused alterations both phase 4 of action potential (AP),...
Abstract Being immersed in a natural context has beneficial and pervasive impact on well-being. Virtual Reality (VR) is technology that can help expose people to naturalistic scenarios virtually, overcoming obstacles prevent them from visiting real environments. VR could also increase engagement relaxation older adults with without cognitive impairment. The main aim of this study investigate the feasibility customized scenario by assessing motion-sickness effects, engagement, pleasantness,...
Introduction Despite the growing number of oral agents available for cancer treatment, their efficacy may be reduced due to lack adherence, inappropriate adverse event self-management and arbitrary dose adjustment. The management anticancer therapies could exponentially benefit from introduction mobile health technologies in a highly integrated electronic oncology system. Methods analysis We plan customise fine-tune an existing monitoring TreC platform used different chronic diseases...
Background Italy was the first country to largely experience COVID-19 epidemic among other Western countries during so-called wave of pandemic. Proper management an increasing number home-quarantined individuals created a significant challenge for health care authorities and professionals. This especially true when considering importance remote surveillance detect signs disease progression consequently regulate access hospitals intensive units on priority basis. Objective In this paper, we...
The aim of the “Smuovi La Salute” (“Shake Your Health”) project was to implement an integrated and comprehensive model prevent treat overweight obesity in low socioeconomic status (SES) minority groups living three different districts north Italy. An app a cookbook promoting transcultural nutrition healthy lifestyle were developed, no-cost physical activities organized. Healthy teaching implemented 30 primary school classrooms. Learning assessed through pre- post-intervention questionnaires....
Background Over the past few years, development of technologies supporting active aging has been increasing. Among activities that promote physical exercise by using is geocaching—a treasure hunt sorts in which participants use a receiver GPS to hide or find real virtual objects. Although this activity particularly suited promotion healthy lifestyles older people, geocaching remains be unexplored area. Objective This study aimed investigate effectiveness combining and self-tracking aging,...
There is an increasing interest in assessing telemedicine as alternative method of delivering high quality cancer treatment to patients living rural areas. In the Province Trento (north-east Italy) a tele-oncology system was implemented provide non-surgical oncological consultation district general hospitals. The aim this study explore user-satisfaction with after 6 months experimentation. During on-field validation two questionnaires open and closed-response questions were distributed 80...
Cardiac effects of norbormide and verapamil were compared in single ventricular myocytes, right atria, Langendorff perfused hearts isolated from guinea‐pigs. In 50 μ m inhibited the peak calcium current ( I Ca ) by 49.6±3.9% without altering shape current‐voltage relationship; 1 83.2±3.3%. Neither nor affected at first beat after a 3 min quiescence period; during repeated depolarizations, both drugs cumulatively blocked (use‐dependence), with time constants 23.0±7.0 s for 91.3±8.4 verapamil....
Motivation is a core component of diabetes self-management because it allows adults with mellitus (DM) to adhere clinical recommendations. In this context, virtual coaches (VCs) have assumed central role in supporting and treating common barriers related adherence. However, most them are mainly focused on medical physical purposes, such as the monitoring blood glucose levels or following healthy diet.This proof-of-concept study aims evaluate preliminary efficacy VC intervention for...
Virtual reality (VR) is an innovative tool that can facilitate exposure to either stressful or relaxing stimuli and enables individuals who have difficulties visualizing scenes be involved in a more realistic sensorimotor experience. It also facilitates multisensory stimulation, sense of presence, achievement relaxation. VR scenarios representing visual auditory elements natural environments the learning relaxation techniques such as progressive muscle technique (PMRT). A complementary...
We describe an innovative framework for prescription of personalised health apps by integrating Personal Health Records (PHR) with disease-specific mobile applications managing medical conditions and the communication clinical professionals. The prescribed record multiple variables including history enriched features such as integration monitoring devices wellbeing trackers to provide patients clinicians a support on disease management. Our is based existing PHR ecosystem called TreC,...
In response to the SARS-CoV-2 emergency, Competence Centre on digital health 'TrentinoSalute4.0' has developed TreC_Televisita, a tele visit solution that meets needs of Trentino healthcare system and maintains high-quality patient-doctor interactions while respecting social distancing.
