Understanding Patient and Physiotherapist Requirements for a Personalized Automated Smartphone Telemonitored App for Posttotal Knee Arthroplasty Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

Understanding Patient and Physiotherapist Requirements for a Personalized Automated Smartphone Telemonitored App for Posttotal Knee Arthroplasty Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

In contrast, a telemonitored physiotherapy program that is automated yet personalized through the ubiquitous and powerful mobile phone offers a promising, scalable solution for the majority of patients, reducing manpower demands while improving access to care. Bahadori et al [11] emphasize that the development of TKA-related apps often fails to incorporate patient input, which can undermine the effectiveness of these interventions.

Evaluating User Engagement With a Real-Time, Text-Based Digital Mental Health Support App: Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Study

Evaluating User Engagement With a Real-Time, Text-Based Digital Mental Health Support App: Cross-Sectional, Retrospective Study

For instance, Baumel et al [13] calculated usage metrics (eg, number of user sessions and minutes of daily use) for mobile apps— including 2 apps with peer support as a primary technique (and 7 apps with peer support as a cotechnique, for a total of 9), where the support could be “through chat or messaging services (synchronous and asynchronous...)” ([13], Appendix 2)—with at least 10,000 installs; Booth et al [14] calculated interactions by the hour and other engagement metrics for a chatbot; and Raue et al

Web-Based, Algorithm-Guided Insulin Titration in Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes: Pre-Post Intervention Study

Web-Based, Algorithm-Guided Insulin Titration in Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes: Pre-Post Intervention Study

Several web-based programs and mobile apps have been developed to overcome some of the abovementioned challenges. Instead of manual recording of SMBG and then providing feedback to their provider in person, these programs allow patients to record and transmit SMBG data directly via the app, reducing the frequency of face-to-face visits [15-17].

Enhancing Methodological Rigor in Mobile Health Care Research

Enhancing Methodological Rigor in Mobile Health Care Research

Tang et al’s recent study published in JMIR Human Factors [1], titled “The Use of Mobile Health Care Among Medical Professionals in the Sichuan-Chongqing Region: Cross-Sectional Survey Study,” captured my attention. Their analysis of mobile health (m Health) device use and influencing factors, using chi-square and multivariable logistic regression analyses, revealed a significant association between age and m Health use. This study provides valuable insights from China’s western region.

Evaluation of a New Mobile Virtual Reality Setup to Alter Pain Perception: Pilot Development and Usability Study in Healthy Participants

Evaluation of a New Mobile Virtual Reality Setup to Alter Pain Perception: Pilot Development and Usability Study in Healthy Participants

In this pilot study, our primary goal was to evaluate an easy-to-use, telerehabilitation-friendly, mobile setup, that reduces the setup complexity significantly by using a stand-alone head-mounted display (HMD) for the visualization and a smartwatch to detect the heartbeats using photoplethysmography (PPG). We hypothesized that participants report a high level of usability and a low number of side effects, allowing for the setup to be tested in a larger randomized clinical trial.
