Real-World Evidence From a Digital Health Treatment Program for Female Urinary Incontinence: Observational Study of Outcomes Following User-Centered Product Design

Real-World Evidence From a Digital Health Treatment Program for Female Urinary Incontinence: Observational Study of Outcomes Following User-Centered Product Design

Robust evidence supports pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) as a first-line intervention for the 3 predominant UI subtypes, which are stress, urgency, and mixed UI [5]. Data suggest that approximately 67% of women experience symptom improvement or resolution with PFMT [6]. Despite high UI prevalence and strong evidence to support behavioral interventions for UI, most women are untreated or undertreated for these conditions [7-9].

The Reporting and Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews Underpinning Clinical Practice Guidelines Focused on the Management of Cutaneous Melanoma: Cross-Sectional Analysis

The Reporting and Methodological Quality of Systematic Reviews Underpinning Clinical Practice Guidelines Focused on the Management of Cutaneous Melanoma: Cross-Sectional Analysis

Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are high-quality, evidence-based statements that have been used by health care professionals to bridge the gap between policies, best practices, local contexts, and patient preferences [1]. Through recommendations, CPGs are beneficial to medical practices by decreasing variances and mistakes in clinical practice, reducing health care costs, and improving health outcomes [1,2].

Obstacles to Evidence-Based Procurement, Implementation, and Evaluation of Health and Welfare Technologies in Swedish Municipalities: Mixed Methods Study

Obstacles to Evidence-Based Procurement, Implementation, and Evaluation of Health and Welfare Technologies in Swedish Municipalities: Mixed Methods Study

Ten categories emerged from the content analysis: (1) evidence via references from other municipalities when procuring HWT, (2) evidence via documentation from suppliers when procuring, (3) evidence via benefits realization when procuring, (4) difficulties obtaining evidence when procuring, (5) Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) as a model used when implementing HWT, (6) organizational models when implementing, (7) value and benefits when evaluating implemented HWT, (8) survey use during follow-up and evaluation of HWT

Similar Outcomes of Web-Based and Face-to-Face Training of the GRADE Approach for the Certainty of Evidence: Randomized Controlled Trial

Similar Outcomes of Web-Based and Face-to-Face Training of the GRADE Approach for the Certainty of Evidence: Randomized Controlled Trial

Patient-relevant outcomes are then assessed for each included study while focusing on study limitations, precision, the directness of evidence, the consistency of results, and possible confounders, among others. The certainty of evidence is then decided for each outcome, ranging from very low to high. The overall quality of evidence for the main health care question will depend on the lowest-rated critical outcome.

How Digital Therapeutics Are Urging the Need for a Paradigm Shift: From Evidence-Based Health Care to Evidence-Based Well-being

How Digital Therapeutics Are Urging the Need for a Paradigm Shift: From Evidence-Based Health Care to Evidence-Based Well-being

In all cases, patients or health care providers are interacting with evidence-based digital technologies to improve patients’ health [8]. We explain in this viewpoint why the current health care landscape, which we will call the “evidence-based health care paradigm,” does not allow for digital therapeutics to meet user needs and values and, consequently, does not reach successful implementation.

The Development and Use of Chatbots in Public Health: Scoping Review

The Development and Use of Chatbots in Public Health: Scoping Review

We examined the evidence for the development and use of chatbots in public health to assess the current state of the field, the application domains in which chatbot uptake is the most prolific, and the ways in which chatbots are being evaluated. Reviewing current evidence, we identified some of the gaps in current knowledge and possible next steps for the development and use of chatbots for public health provision. Our research questions are as follows.

Mobile Safety Alarms Based on GPS Technology in the Care of Older Adults: Systematic Review of Evidence Based on a General Evidence Framework for Digital Health Technologies

Mobile Safety Alarms Based on GPS Technology in the Care of Older Adults: Systematic Review of Evidence Based on a General Evidence Framework for Digital Health Technologies

The extracted data for relevant outcomes were categorized and summarized according to the tiers 1-3b evidence categories in the NICE evidence standards framework for DHTs described below. An overview of each study’s contribution to the respective evidence categories is presented in Table 2, and a more extensive version of the table, including the criteria for minimum evidence and best practice standards in all evidence categories, is presented in Multimedia Appendix 3 [22-37].
