Filter by:The use of mobile applications to promote the practice of physical activity has begun to be used in the adolescent population in recent years. This has made it possible to carry out interventions inside and outside the educational setting, the latter being the ones that have brought the greatest benefits. Thus, it has been observed that the promotion of the use of mobile applications in out-of-school hours from the subject of physical education has reported significant benefits on body composition and fitness in the adolescent population. However, there is no known research that has analyzed whether the effect achieved with mobile applications when their use is mandatory disappears when they are no longer promoted from the physical education subject. Therefore, this project goes further and tries to find out whether after the ten-week period of mandatory use of the applications, adolescents continue to use the applications autonomously and the beneficial effects achieved are maintained or disappear due to the lack of use. For this purpose, a 10-week intervention was planned in which the adolescents used the mobile applications. Prior to the start of the intervention, the adolescents' body composition and fitness (pre) were measured. At the end of the intervention of mandatory use of the mobile applications, the adolescents were measured again (post). And after the post measurement, the adolescents were left for 10 weeks during which they could use the applications autonomously. A third measurement of the adolescents was performed after this 10-week period (post 2). The aim of this project was to find out the effects of stopping the use of the mobile fitness apps on body composition and fitness of the adolescents.
The app will be installed on the patient's smartphone before surgery. Patients will receive reminders to record their pain intensity and opioid-related side effects at the pre-determined time points until at least 2 days after surgery. The patient's compliance with the reminders will be assessed. On the second postoperative day, their satisfaction with pain control and app usage will be evaluated. Patients can also provide feedback on any issues they have encountered with the app during the study period.
Mobile health applications open the door to a safe and effective health system. Mobile communication channels and mobile phones not only provide training paths to healthcare professionals, but also provide remote decision support using automated data analysis or the ability to engage in real-time interviews with experts(1). The prevalence of symptoms due to cancer treatment and this adversely affect the quality of life and vital functions of patients and their relatives, and the increase in non-treatment admissions to the hospital. This shows that there is a need for programs where patients can control symptoms related to oncological treatment at home. It is thought that the use of mobile applications can be cost-effective by increasing access to health services and improving diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation (2). Our single-blind, randomized-controlled, experimental study will be carried out between April 2022 and December 2022 at Kocaeli University Oncology and Palliative Care Center Ambulatory Chemotherapy Unit. The population of the study will consist of chemotherapy patients who applied to the unit and agreed to participate in the study. Based on the calculation made, it was decided to include 212 patients. In this context, it is thought that the mobile-based monitoring system in the management of chemotherapy-related symptoms will contribute to the management of treatment-related symptoms and increase the quality of life in patients receiving chemotherapy. Expected results from the use of the mobile application; - reducing the symptom burden, - improving the quality of life, - enabling informed changes in clinical practice and care, - reducing the social and economic burdens of cancer care.
The goal of this study is to test the usability and applicability of a mobile application which recommends recipes. We will recruit up to 52 vegan/vegetarian participants in Belgium, and provide them with an iDOO hydroponic plant growing unit (https://www.idooworld.com/products/idoo-20pods-indoor-herb-garden-kit-hydroponics-growing-sy stem-with-led-grow-light) as well as seeds and plant nutrients to grow certain herbs at home. Over a period of 17 weeks, participants will be asked to consume plants from the unit by following the recipes recommended by the app. The participants will then observe changes in their iron and vitamin B12 levels by following up with their GP and report the outcomes back to the researchers at three points during the study (week 0, week 6, and week 17). In addition, the participants will evaluate the usability of the app and the recipes recommended by the app.
This study aims to compare the INR values of the patients followed by face-to-face and telephone applications.
The proposed clinical trial would evaluate the use of smartphone applications ("apps", which have well-established efficacy in reducing cigarette and alcohol use) to prevent relapse among patients receiving medication-assisted treatment for opioid use disorder. In addition to standard app-based self-monitoring of drug use and personalized feedback, project innovation is enhanced by the proposed use of location-tracking technology for targeted, personalized intervention when participants enter self-identified areas of high risk for relapse. Furthermore, the proposed sub-study would use longitudinal functional neuroimaging to elucidate the brain-cognition relationships underlying individual differences in treatment outcomes, offering broad significance for understanding and enhancing the efficacy of this and other app-based interventions.
Hypertension is a major cause of death worldwide. Patients should adjust their lifestyle and learn how to maintain a balance between self-management of a disease and their daily livelihood. Knowledge is networked, mobile devices can be used as a way of health education. The purpose of this study is to evaluation the effectiveness of the disease self-management program through a mobile applications for patients with hypertension. Statistical analyses was used analysis of covariance for checking the effect of interventions. Through the calculation by a statistical power analysis formula, the study takes 70 samples and divides them into a control group (usual care) and an experimental group (disease self-management program through a mobile applications) by the single blind randomized controlled trial, whereby each groups has 35 samples. The first step investigate the physiological indicators, mental health, self-management, quality of life of the patients. For the experimental group, after the pre-test the study set up a health guide for the disease self-management program with a mobile applications. The experimental group received the mobile apps educational program for at least 30 minutes each session and at least once every two days. After two weeks and six weeks, a follow-up telephone interview helped to strengthen the health self-management self-confidence. The effect of interventions was then evaluated after three months when the patients returned. Therefore, the self-management of a disease can be improved and patients will learn to live in harmony with hypertension by improving their mental health, self-management, and quality of life.
Diabetes is one of the biggest public health problems of the 21st century. Type 2 diabetes mellitus accounts for more than 90% of all diabetes cases and is the most common type of diabetes. Type 2 diabetes, in which genetic and environmental factors play a role,It is a metabolic disorder in which insulin resistance, decrease in insulin secretion and incretin hormone deficiency are effective in its physiopathology, characterized by polydipsia, polyphagia and polyuria, where the organism cannot adequately benefit from carbohydrates, fats and proteins due to insulin deficiency or defects in the effect of insulin, which requires continuous medical care. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, coronary artery disease, stroke and inferior extremity amputations. These complications due to diabetes impair the patient's quality of life and impose social, financial and emotional burdens on both the patient and their family. Diabetes education should be provided by healthcare professionals in order to ensure that diabetes patients knowledge and skills to prevent complications and provide better self management and self-care. However, The fact that individuals do not have time to spare for face-to-face health education, the possibility of accessing information in the web environment repeatedly and the lower cost of education in the web environment compared to classical education increases the importance of web-based health education. The widespread use of mobile technologies in recent years has led to the development of new mobile applications related to diabetes. The disquisition proposal the investigators prepared was created to investigate the effect of mobile application supported diabetes and nutrition education on type 2 diabetes self-management and blood sugar in newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes patients. In this context, with the development of a mobile application prepared in visual, text and video format to provide diabetes education, the monitoring of blood parameters before and after diabetes education, and the implementation of the Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Scale, (which consists of 19 items developed in 2020), and type 2 diabetes self-management and the effect on blood sugar will be examined. This study will provide answers to questions about the effectiveness of diabetes education given to Type 2 Diabetes patients via mobile applications on diabetes self-management and blood parameters.
The purpose of this randomized controlled pilot trial is to develop and test mobile app, Intensive Care Unit-Caregiver Activation Response, and Engagement (ICU-CARE). ICU-CARE provides a simulated learning environment to encourage family caregivers of mechanically ventilated patients to assess two patient symptoms, thirst and anxiety, and perform specific nonpharmacologic comfort measures to help alleviate patient symptom burden.
Determine the effect of a culturally sensitive prenatal genetic testing (PGT) education intervention delivered via a mobile application on pregnant women's perceptions, knowledge, and uptake of PGT. Our working hypothesis, based on prior studies, is that pregnant women who receive a culturally sensitive intervention to enhance their knowledge and understanding of PGT will feel more confident in their decision-making regarding PGT.
