Non-adherence, such as to daily weight measurements and diet, has been found to be a major cause of morbidity and preventable hospital admissions of heart failure patients. Studies suggest that as many as one third to one half of heart failure hospitalizations are preventable. Remote patient monitoring is a potential t... Mobile Devices for Nursing: a Comparative Human Factors Evaluation Background Despite the potential for mobile devices to improve care through increased information provision and decision support, their adoption remains limited, in part due to the usability of the hardware platforms available. Objectives This study sought to compare the usability of 3 commercially available smartphones: RIM’s BlackBerry Bold, Apple’s iPhone 3G, Palm’s Treo 680, and 2 Personal Digitial Assistant (PDA) platforms: Nokia’s N810, and HP’s iPAQ 210, for typical nu... Medicine 2.0'11 (Stanford University, USA)Mobile Phone-Based Remote Patient Monitoring for Heart Failure Management: a Randomized Controlled Trial Background Remote patient monitoring of heart failure patients has been shown to be able to improve health outcomes. Mobile phones are becoming increasingly ubiquitous and economical, but the feasibility and efficacy of an mHealth remote monitoring system is still unknown. The objective of this randomized controlled trial was to determine the effects of a user-centric mobile phone-based remote monitoring system on heart failure outcomes, self-care, and clinical management. Methods One hun... A Mobile Phone-Based Self-Management System for Adolescents with Type I Diabetes Background More than 80% of primary care visits and two thirds of medical admissions into hospital emergency departments are related to chronic diseases. Effective chronic disease management can result in improved health outcomes and increased quality of life. One of the most common chronic diseases affecting children, adolescents, and adults is type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). World-wide data have repeatedly demonstrated that therapeutic targets are not met among adolescents with T1... Medicine 2.0'12 (Boston, USA)A Mobile Clinical Collaboration System for Inter-Professional Team Based Care in an Outpatient Setting Background: Poor communication is one of the most common underlying causes of medical error. As there is no systemized approach to clinical collaboration, complex patients are particularly vulnerable to adverse medical events due to poor collaboration across the spectrum of health care providers. Objective: In order to address this coordination gap, the development of a secure, mobile, device-agnostic, clinical messaging system for the collaborative care of complex patients was undertaken... A Consumer-Focused Mobile Application for Prevention and Management of Heart and Stroke Risk Factors Background: Heart disease and stroke remain the leading cause of death and disability worldwide, causing almost 30% of all deaths. The majority of the world’s adult population have at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease, such as obesity, diabetes, smoking, alcohol, physical inactivity, high blood pressure, and cholesterol. As the population ages and is increasingly affected by these risk factors, more individuals will develop heart disease and stroke. However, in a large numbe... The Embedded Designer: The Next Big Step for Healthcare Systems Premise: As much as it is the surgeon’s job to perform surgery, the nurse’s job to nurse patients back to health, and the pharmacist’s job to manage medications, there is one position still making its way into the annals of healthcare workers: the designer. Designers have the unique skill sets to realize the vision of improved systems, so why aren’t there more designers working in the healthcare arena? Currently, very little in healthcare is deliberately designed. Ad hoc, ineffi...
