Insights Into How mHealth Applications Could Be Introduced Into Standard Hypertension Care in Germany: Qualitative Study With German Cardiologists and General Practitioners

Insights Into How mHealth Applications Could Be Introduced Into Standard Hypertension Care in Germany: Qualitative Study With German Cardiologists and General Practitioners

Advancing digitalization of health care has a transformative impact on the prevention and treatment of diseases, particularly in the realm of hypertension. In this context, mobile health (m Health) apps are increasingly gaining significance, offering innovative means for monitoring, maintaining, and preventing high blood pressure [1-3]. Hypertension poses a substantial health challenge, affecting millions of people worldwide [4].

The Role of the Installed Base in Information Exchange Among General Practitioners in Germany: Mixed Methods Study

The Role of the Installed Base in Information Exchange Among General Practitioners in Germany: Mixed Methods Study

Given that medical work is supported by technologies that convey information in specific formats, digitalization represents not merely a change in information transmission but actively reshapes the nature of medical practice. This is demonstrated by Vikkelsø [10] in her analysis of electronic records in Danish hospitals, showing that the introduction of digitalization leads to a reconfigured health care system rather than an improved one.

Digital Transformation in Patient Organizations: Interview and Focus Group Study

Digital Transformation in Patient Organizations: Interview and Focus Group Study

The degree of digitalization varies considerably between different health care organizations and health sectors, and this gap has widened during the COVID-19 pandemic. This is due to, inter alia, the available resources and organizational structures, the degree of digital literacy of those responsible for implementing digitalization, and attitudes toward digital services [4,5].

Problems and Barriers Related to the Use of AI-Based Clinical Decision Support Systems: Interview Study

Problems and Barriers Related to the Use of AI-Based Clinical Decision Support Systems: Interview Study

It consisted of (nonlegal) framework conditions such as “degree of digitalization,” “hospital IT,” “definition of AI,” or “costs” on the one hand and of more direct problem areas such as “comparability of AI systems,” “side effects,” or “neglect of caring professions” on the other hand. Different experts described that there was a lack of digitalization or that the “degree of digitalization” in the health care sector was too low.

Exploring the Differentiation of Self-Concepts in the Physical and Virtual Worlds Using Euclidean Distance Analysis and Its Relationship With Digitalization and Mental Health Among Young People: Cross-Sectional Study

Exploring the Differentiation of Self-Concepts in the Physical and Virtual Worlds Using Euclidean Distance Analysis and Its Relationship With Digitalization and Mental Health Among Young People: Cross-Sectional Study

Across the millennium, there has been postulation of “Digital Natives” as well as “Digital Immigrants,” depicting the potential influence of digitalization across the generations [1]. In recent decades, it has witnessed growing evidence of the impact of digitalization on the human brain, mind, cognition, and behavior [2]. Such observations and neurobiological findings imply that our brain, mind, and self can be modified in the process of digitalization in a direct and profound way.

Identification of Use Cases, Target Groups, and Motivations Around Adopting Smart Speakers for Health Care and Social Care Settings: Scoping Review

Identification of Use Cases, Target Groups, and Motivations Around Adopting Smart Speakers for Health Care and Social Care Settings: Scoping Review

Moreover, this also underlines that the role of patients and practices of health and care change against the background of digitalization and the use of AI [78]. While some of the use cases identified were exclusively designed for clinical settings, the majority can, in theory, be implemented in multiple settings. This could support patient empowerment, as smart speakers can be used to support the household as a central place of health care.

Perspectives of Clients and Health Care Professionals on the Opportunities for Digital Health Interventions in Cerebrovascular Disease Care: Qualitative Descriptive Study

Perspectives of Clients and Health Care Professionals on the Opportunities for Digital Health Interventions in Cerebrovascular Disease Care: Qualitative Descriptive Study

Health care professionals do see the necessity of digitalization for improving CVD care [23], but little is known about the various requirements they have for DHIs to deliver high-quality care, especially in the acute CVD context. Previous research has identified that DHIs are seldom designed from the primary user perspective to address specific health needs [24], which can lead to potential health disparities and reduce benefits gained [25].

Evaluation of an App-Based Mobile Triage System for Mass Casualty Incidents: Within-Subjects Experimental Study

Evaluation of an App-Based Mobile Triage System for Mass Casualty Incidents: Within-Subjects Experimental Study

While disaster medicine procedures are well-established and effective, there remains potential for optimization through digitalization [2]. Currently, information collected manually and on paper during an MCI is often incomplete, sometimes disorganized, and potentially unreliable. This includes critical details such as the number of patients, their locations, identifying characteristics, and injury severity.
