The Requirements and Development Potential of Interdisciplinary Digital Health Data Exchange in Mobile Nursing and Care Settings in German-Speaking Countries: Delphi Study

The Requirements and Development Potential of Interdisciplinary Digital Health Data Exchange in Mobile Nursing and Care Settings in German-Speaking Countries: Delphi Study

German-speaking countries (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein), which are collectively referred to as the DACHL region, seem to be geographically, economically, and culturally interconnected, but digitalization and data exchange have progressed differently in the various countries. Germany implemented an electronic patient record (“elektronische Patientenakte” [e PA]) in 2021. Until now, participation in the e PA was voluntary and had to be applied for [5].

Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

While simply providing an app or wearable in German did not automatically qualify it as DACH-specific, those developed by creators from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, with a focus on their respective health care systems, were deemed as such. Secondly, the app or wearable was considered DACH-specific if the company behind it was based in one of the DACH countries.

Exploring Climate Change’s Impact on the Cardiopulmonary Health of Adults Living in the Canton of Valais, Switzerland: Protocol for a Development and Usability Pilot Study

In recent years, several studies have been conducted on the various components of the relationship between health and climate change in Switzerland, particularly via the Swiss Study on Air Pollution and Lung and Health Diseases in Adults cohort [6]. A review of 22 studies by Cicci et al [7] highlighted positive associations between high temperatures and ischemic heart disease, acute myocardial infarction, the risk of congestive heart failure, and the number of emergency department (ED) consultations.

Evaluating the Economic Impact of the PedAMINES App in Reducing Medication Errors in Pediatric Emergency Care: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Evaluating the Economic Impact of the PedAMINES App in Reducing Medication Errors in Pediatric Emergency Care: Cost-Effectiveness Analysis

Subsequently, the findings from prehospital settings were extrapolated to the PICU environment of a tertiary hospital in Switzerland. In the economic evaluation, the costs (ie, maintenance, update, and training costs) as well as the health benefits (ie, avoided administration errors with associated consequences) and nonhealth benefits (avoided costs, time saved) of using the app in pediatric care at the Geneva University Hospitals were considered.

The Paradoxes of Digital Tools in Hospitals: Qualitative Interview Study

The Paradoxes of Digital Tools in Hospitals: Qualitative Interview Study

Switzerland offers a valuable research environment for a comprehensive exploration of HCPs’ perspectives due to its diverse health care landscape [35]. Understanding and amplifying HCPs’ experiences is vital to generate new insights into the mechanisms and tensions underscoring the ongoing challenges; explore current dilemmas and opportunities; and suggest alternative strategies for the future development, adoption, implementation, and evaluation of these tools.

What Is the Performance of ChatGPT in Determining the Gender of Individuals Based on Their First and Last Names?

What Is the Performance of ChatGPT in Determining the Gender of Individuals Based on Their First and Last Names?

We used a database of 6131 physicians practicing in Switzerland, a multilingual and multicultural country with 36% of physicians of foreign origin [4]. The sample consisted of 3085 women (50.3%) and 3046 men (49.7%), with gender determined by self-identification. We used nationalize.io to determine the origin of physicians’ names (Table 1). A total of 88% of names were from French-, English-, Spanish-, Italian-, German-, or Portuguese-speaking countries or from another European country.
