Filter by:Telerehabilitation (TR) refers to the provision of rehabilitation services through information and communication technologies. The most widely used of these technologies are applications such as telephone and video conferencing. Urinary incontinence is defined as involuntary urinary incontinence ). This condition, which affects both sexes, is more common in women. Urinary incontinence is caused by dysfunction in the bladder and pelvic floor muscles in women during menopause, childbirth, or pregnancy. Urinary incontinence is a health problem that significantly affects people's social interactions, interests, and psychosocial status. It has been shown that even mild incontinence complaints cause a decrease in the quality of life in women. Pelvic floor muscle training is one of the conservative treatment methods used in the treatment of urinary incontinence.Adding breathing exercises and deep abdominal muscle strengthening exercises to pelvic floor muscle training may be beneficial in patients with urinary incontinence. In patients with urinary incontinence, women who are in regular communication with the supervisor during pelvic floor muscle training are more likely to gain higher from the program. However, it has not been shown that group physiotherapy is less effective than physiotherapy administered individually in reducing incontinence episodes. In the light of this information in the literature, our research hypothesis is that in patients with urinary incontinence, follow-up the pelvic floor muscle training, breathing exercise, and core exercise training with individually video conference method can have positive effects on patients' muscle strength, incontinence degree, quality of life, patient satisfaction, exercise adherence, and sexual function.
The aim of the study is to test the effect of daily videoconference updates between parents of preterm newborns and health care providers which also offer them the possibility of seeing their child on the parental stress in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
The national epidemic of obesity is associated with considerable morbidity, disability and early mortality. Conventional weight loss programs beyond a primary care setting have the potential to reduce weight, but are difficult to access for adults with obesity in rural areas due to lack of transportation and access to specialty care. Routine intensive behavioral therapy, while effective, is often not supplemented with adjuncts that could be helpful in engaging participants in behavioral change. The overarching goal of this SYNERGY pilot project is to overcome barriers rural adults face by using video-conferencing to deliver specialty obesity care that otherwise is inaccessible to most adults faced with this disease. It also intends to use emerging mobile health (mHealth) technology which has shown considerable promise in providing motivational feedback. This proposal highlights T3/T4 translation bridging technologists, allied health staff, and clinicians in the development and implementation of new therapeutic modalities. The study aims to evaluate a telehealth-based health coaching program that is embedded in the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Weight and Wellness Center that integrates novel remote monitoring technology in effecting behavioral change using Amulet, a Dartmouth Computer Science developed mHealth device over a 16-week period. First, the feasibility and accessibility of an eHealth-delivered health coaching obesity intervention using remote monitoring and video-conferencing (Aim 1) will be evaluated. The potential effectiveness of achieving the primary outcome of 5% weight loss, with secondary outcomes of improved physical function and self reported health (Aim 2) will be ascertained. The intervention's impact on implementation outcomes of workflow, adoption, and organizational change that could affect further scalability and generalizability in other high-risk population groups (Aim 3) will be assessed. These preliminary findings will be used in a future competitive application for an extramural R01 designed to assess the effectiveness of our intervention in achieving weight loss in rural obese adults. If successful, this application has the potential to redesign care using applied methods of telehealth translated to community-based, rural populations to facilitate behavioral change. The project also meets criteria of the NIH Strategic Plan for Obesity and the Institute of Medicine's need for Telehealth research.
VA community-based outpatient clinics (CBOCs) typically serve only a small number of women Veterans, and generally do not have the women's health care resources that are available in larger settings. Women Veterans using these sites for primary care must sometimes travel to other sites to receive women's health care. That can create travel burdens, reduce continuity of care, and negatively affect patient outcomes. To address this, VA is implementing a clinical operations innovation that supports women's primary care providers with a technology-based intervention that combines interactive communication with women's health specialists and ongoing education. This research study is evaluating the implementation and effects of this women's healthcare delivery innovation. Findings from this research will inform VA women's health clinical practice and education, and will advance science in delivering technology-supported non-face-to-face care that is applicable to other clinical conditions and patient populations.
