User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

User Experience of a Bespoke Videoconferencing System for Web-Based Family Visitation for Patients in an Intensive Care Unit: 1-Year Cross-Sectional Survey of Nursing Staff

These restrictive policies were introduced to decrease the risk of transmission of COVID-19 in health care settings [4]. These policies have been shown to be extremely isolating for patients, distressing for family members, and even hampering clinical care provided by health care professionals [1,6]. In particular, patients who are critically ill or vulnerable are often reliant on family for support, and at times, families are surrogate decision makers for patients.

Health Communication on the Internet: Promoting Public Health and Exploring Disparities in the Generative AI Era

Health communication on the internet has continually evolved, driven by technological advancements [1-4]. Over time, the public, along with health researchers, practitioners, and organizations, have increasingly embraced these technologies for diverse health-related purposes. The emergence of generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) represents a revolutionary development in health communication and public health promotion.

Improving the Health and Well-Being of Individuals by Addressing Social, Economic, and Health Inequities (Healthy Eating Active Living): Protocol for a Cohort Study

Improving the Health and Well-Being of Individuals by Addressing Social, Economic, and Health Inequities (Healthy Eating Active Living): Protocol for a Cohort Study

The World Health Organization (WHO) identifies health inequities as “systematic differences in the health status of different population groups” [1]. Further, the WHO refers to health as “a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity” [2]. Consequently, research on health inequity is a central agenda component of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals and various government and development dialogues [3,4].

Harnessing Internet Search Data as a Potential Tool for Medical Diagnosis: Literature Review

Harnessing Internet Search Data as a Potential Tool for Medical Diagnosis: Literature Review

The selected studies’ primary focus was on individual diagnosis and health behavior to ensure a targeted exploration of search data applications in the context of personal health. Studies were required to integrate internet search data with other health research datasets to provide perspective on individual health outcomes and capture the synergistic potential of combining search data with other health-related information.

Organ Donation Conversations on X and Development of the OrgReach Social Media Marketing Strategy: Social Network Analysis

Organ Donation Conversations on X and Development of the OrgReach Social Media Marketing Strategy: Social Network Analysis

Specifically, we investigate how prominent social media profiles and users seeking health information influence these conversations and the types and forms of advocacy. While previous research has examined the link between public attitudes and external factors like health care environments [3-5], we shift the focus inward, investigating how individuals navigate and interact with organ donation information on the internet.

Revisits, Readmission, and Mortality From Emergency Department Admissions for Older Adults With Vague Presentations: Longitudinal Observational Study

Revisits, Readmission, and Mortality From Emergency Department Admissions for Older Adults With Vague Presentations: Longitudinal Observational Study

Any change to admission decisions can impact outcomes and costs since two-thirds of ED health care costs in the United States come from visits that end in admission [5,6]. Whether to admit or discharge a patient is a weighty decision. This point is best exemplified with older adults (≥65 years of age). Discharging an older adult carries a high risk of adverse health outcomes, especially when compared with younger patients [7-12].

Self-Guided Smartphone App (Vimbo) for the Reduction of Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety in South African Adults: Pilot Quantitative Single-Arm Study

Self-Guided Smartphone App (Vimbo) for the Reduction of Symptoms of Depression and Anxiety in South African Adults: Pilot Quantitative Single-Arm Study

Disorder prevalence varies widely by geographical province, which may reflect the variance in mental health resource availability and allocation [2,3]. These estimates are a marked increase from previous findings from the World Health Organization, which estimated that 4.6% of the population lived with a depressive disorder and 3.4% lived with an anxiety disorder [4].

Digital Home-Based Self-Monitoring System for People with Heart Failure: Protocol for Development of SmartHeart and Evaluation of Feasibility and Acceptability

The COVID-19 pandemic was a catalyst for swift, wholesale change to the way we view and provide health care; there has been a significant increase in the use of telehealth and online care services, increased acceptance of digital health technologies by the medical community and the public, and broader recognition of the need to embrace digital health approaches to create a resilient health care system [6].

Rehabilomics Strategies Enabled by Cloud-Based Rehabilitation: Scoping Review

Rehabilomics Strategies Enabled by Cloud-Based Rehabilitation: Scoping Review

Rehabilitation is a crucial component of health care aimed at improving the functional capacity and quality of life for individuals facing various health challenges [1,2]. Traditionally, standardized approaches have been used in rehabilitation, sometimes failing to fully consider the unique needs and characteristics of each patient. However, the need for more personalized rehabilitation has become important after COVID-19 [3].
