Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the feasibility of using a mobile application (app) called how2trak to improve people's experience, wound surveillance, and detection of surgical site infections (SSI) after colorectal surgery while reducing in-person interactions for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. This will inform the implementation of a full-scale trial to establish if surveillance of someone's incision and symptoms using how2trak improves SSI detection and management compared to standard care (involving a single post-operative surgery clinic visit). The data collected will contribute to a broader dataset of people with SSI surveillance to be used in developing a clinical decision support system.
The aim of the present study was to quantitatively assess the risk factors that may affect the re-occurrence of a CVD event and the use of a commercially available mobile application Samsung Health for the assessment of parameters of exercise tolerance and the ECG M-Trace Base II application for the assessment of cardiological parameters.
In this prospective two-arm study, the investigators will evaluate the incidence of suboptimal preoperative assessments when the participants are evaluated through a web based application (Preanestes@s) versus the traditional outpatient interview.
The purpose of this research is to determine the effect of the e-mobile health application on postpartum adaptation. The study will consist of two groups: Experimental group and control group.
Being physically active and exercising is important for the treatment of Type 2 diabetes as it helps control blood sugar and improve physical function. Lots of people find it hard to be physically active and sticking with exercise is difficult for most people. In this project we will investigate two strategies to support people with Type 2 diabetes to increase and then maintain a physically active lifestyle, which includes exercising regularly. Participants in one group (Exercise Counselling) will complete a 6-month structured exercise and physical activity programme supported by regular (virtual) contact with an exercise specialist. Participants in the second group (Mobile health technology (mHealth)) will receive the same 6-month exercise and physical activity programme supported by an exercise specialist, but participants in this group will also receive a fitness watch that links to a mobile phone application (App). The fitness watch and mobile App will allow the exercise specialist to provide greater support and feedback throughout the programme.
Health behaviour applications (also referred to as "apps") have the potential to provide several advantages for motivating behaviour change for health and well-being. Finding ways to increase and sustain health promoting behaviour changes has been a challenge during health app development. Gamification, which is the use of game elements in a non-game situation, shows promise and has proven effective in many fields. However, key questions remain concerning how to use gamification in apps to modify health behaviour, especially to support adherence to dietary pattern recommendations. To investigate and summarize the current evidence, a systematic review of the totality of evidence from clinical trials and observational studies will be conducted to capture and distinguish the types of gamification strategies that may be most effective in improving and sustaining health promoting behaviours to inform future health behaviour app development.
A randomised control trial to evaluate the effect of a mobile application on partial denture wearers's dental knowledge, oral hygiene and denture hygiene. The null hypothesis of the study states that there will be no difference in dental knowledge, oral and denture hygiene among patients educated using the mobile application compared to those educated using the conventional method of verbal instructions accompanied by demonstrations on dental models.
In this prospective and paired study, the investigators evaluate whether the preoperative information recorded through a web based questionnaire together with a virtual non face to face patient assessment based on the information recorded by the questionnaire and the electronic records of patients is of a comparable quality to that obtained with the traditional outpatient interview.
The primary objective of this project is to test the acceptability and feasibility of a mobile application to facilitate mental health symptom monitoring and follow-up among Veterans. During the course of the study, the research application will be installed on participants' mobile phone. The application on the participants' phone will be recording data about their behavior. Participants will also be asked to complete bi-weekly surveys via the app.
This study examines the feasibility and acceptability of using mobile applications and biosensing (mHealth) devices in detecting vitality parameters in current smokers with and without respiratory symptoms/COPD (e.g., heart rate, blood oxygenation, steps/motion) for a future big-scale study.
