Filter by:Health tourism is one of the most important touristic activities. It can generate economic and social value. Balneotherapy is one of the options concerning healthcare and well-being. Although this fact it lacks information concerning effectiveness of thermal water treatments. Digital Technologies are being implemented and developed in health care systems, stimulated also by World Health Organization (WHO), in order to facilitate and improve patients' treatment and assessment. Traditional approach does not allow a follow-up due to the fact the patient leaves the thermal complex after treatment or several other reasons due to that the gap persists and social security of each country avoids support based on this lack of information. It is important to fulfil this gap and for that digital technologies seem to be the answer. This study aims to investigate effectiveness in self-management and clinical assessment and monitorization between a smartphone app (HealthSmArt_ISAVE) and a standard approach.
We spend a third of our life at work. Psychosocial risks (PSR) are a major issue in occupational health 1. Approaching the different dimensions of PSR calls on a dozen essential components: workload, autonomy, social support, burnout, anxiety, efforts made, rewards, work addiction, investment, etc. a specific questionnaire which usually contains 20 to 30 questions, so that having an overall view of PSR using the current reference questionnaires (Karasek, Siegrist, etc.) represents a total of more than 300 questions. The response time is thus incompatible with current medical practice (passage in the waiting room before the occupational health medical examination) and leads to a majority of non-responses during anonymous questionnaires on the Internet. On the other hand, these validated questionnaires were carried out by different people and are very heterogeneous between them, including in their formulation, so that the respondents have the impression of disorganization and anarchy. There is therefore a need for short, quick and uniform questionnaires. EVAs offer the incredible advantage of meeting these criteria: speed, uniformity, precision. From a data analysis point of view, EVAs also have the advantage of offering a continuous quantitative response, allowing the use of all statistical approaches. If some questionnaires have already been validated in the form of EVA, such as the EVA stress versus the " Perceived Stress Scale " questionnaire (PSS), the EVA workload and EVA autonomy at work versus the Karasek questionnaire, the other reference questionnaires are not yet validated in EVA (burnout, anxiety, efforts / rewards, work addiction, etc.).
