Yoga has demonstrated effectiveness in improving symptoms and quality of life for adults with arthritis. Yoga can be easily adapted according to […]
• Exploring the Intersection of E-commerce and Healthcare: A Visual Analysis of Research Trends
  The role of e-commerce in healthcare is one of the key research areas emerging from the broader digital transformation of health services and consumer interactions. This study presents the bibliometric analysis of literature on e-commerce in healthcare based on publications from 1993 to 2024 in Scopus. In particular, this analysis shows trends in the publication […]
• The role of digital health in pandemic preparedness and response: securing global health?
  CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 outbreak demonstrated the importance of digital technology in outbreak management, patient care, communication, and data sharing. As the world transitions into the post-pandemic phase, it will be important to build on these innovations and prepare for the challenges ahead in order to strengthen healthcare systems for future pandemics.
• 5-Year effects of a novel continuous remote care model with carbohydrate-restricted nutrition therapy including nutritional ketosis in type 2 diabetes: An extension study
  CONCLUSIONS: Over five years, the very low carbohydrate intervention showed excellent retention and significant health benefits, including diabetes remission, weight loss, and improved cardiometabolic markers.
• Innovative Approaches to Addressing Pediatric Mental Health: Digital Technologies in Pediatric Primary Care
  Digital technologies can be used at multiple levels to support the mental health care of children including (1) health system/health care provider level; (2) patient-provider interface; (3) patient-facing consumer applications; and (4) new technology, including artificial intelligence. At each of these levels, these novel technologies may lead to care improvements but also may have risks. […]
• Effectiveness of digital health exercise interventions on muscle function and physical performance in older adults with possible, confirmed or severe sarcopenia: a protocol for a systematic review
  INTRODUCTION: Sarcopenia is characterised by the progressive weakening of muscle function that occurs with age. This condition frequently leads to frailty, disability and even death. Research on sarcopenia prevention is growing. Digital health exercise interventions are increasingly gaining attention in this field, with the rapid advancement of the internet and the influence of the COVID-19. […]
• Risk stratification by renal function and NYHA class in patients with hypotension initiated on sacubitril/valsartan: a retrospective cohort study from 17 centres in Japan
  CONCLUSIONS: Caution is needed when initiating sacubitril/valsartan in patients with lower baseline SBP. The severity of heart failure and kidney function may be useful for risk stratification in these high-risk patients.
• Boruta-driven analysis of telehealth amalgamation across healthcare stratifications with diffuse-dual-channel and tiered-gatekeeper systems
  This study aimed to evaluate the adaptation and effectiveness of telemedicine with the diffuse-dual-channel system (DDS) and tiered-gatekeeper system (TGS) across different tiers of the healthcare system on technical-organizational-environmental (TOE) framework. The telemedicine services were extended as Tiered-gatekeeper system (TGS) by Primary and Secondary Healthcare (PSHC) and Diffuse-dual-channel system (DDS) by King Edward Medical University […]
• Implementation of digital remote postoperative monitoring in routine practice: a qualitative study of barriers and facilitators
  CONCLUSION: The COVID-19 pandemic has sparked the digital transformation of international health systems, yet the potential of digital health interventions has yet to be realised. The benefits to stakeholders are clear, and if health systems seek to meet governmental policy and patient expectations, there needs to be greater organisational strategy and investment to ensure appropriate […]
• Telehealth-delivered cognitive rehabilitation for people with cognitive impairment as part of the post-COVID syndrome: protocol for a randomised controlled trial as part of the CICERO (Cognitive Impairment in Long COVID: Phenotyping and Rehabilitation) study
  BACKGROUND: Between 25 and 75% of people with persistent post-acute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC) experience cognitive difficulties, compromising functional ability, quality of life, and activities of daily living, including work. Despite this significant morbidity, there is a paucity of interventions for this disorder that have undergone evaluation within a formal trial setting. Therefore, we […]
