Alexis Valenzuela Espinoza, Stephane Steurbaut, Alain Dupont, Pieter Cornu, Robbert-Jan Roderick Van Hooff, Raf Brouns, Koen Putman

BACKGROUND: In the first 5 years after their stroke, about a quarter of patients will suffer from a recurrent stroke. Digital health interventions facilitating interactions between a caregiver and a patient from a distance are a promising approach to improve patient adherence to lifestyle changes proposed by secondary prevention guidelines. Many of these interventions are not implemented in daily practice, even though efficacy has been shown. ...

Predicting self-reported depression and health among adolescents: Time spent online mediated by digital skills and digital activities KU Leuven

David De Coninck, Leen d'Haenens
Although young people spend increasing amounts of time online, many gaps remain in the literature regarding the effect of time spent online on young people's development of well-being. We focus on the influence of time spent online on feelings of self-reported (a) depression and (b) health of adolescents. We also consider the mediating role of digital skills and digital activities, each of which is broken down into five dimensions. We collected ...

Technological advances in innovative sensory systems have enabled data connectivity and aggregation to become cornerstones in developing workable solutions for remote monitoring systems in clinical practice. However, few ...

The role of digital strategies in financing health care for universal health coverage in low- and middle-income countries Instituut voor Tropische Geneeskunde

Bruno Meessen

Countries finance health care using a combination of 3 main functions: raising resources for health, pooling resources, and purchasing health services. In this paper, we examine how digital health technologies can be used to enhance these health financing functions in low- and middle-income countries and can thus contribute to progress toward universal health coverage. We illustrate our points by presenting some recent innovations in digital ...

Martijn SCHERRENBERG, Maarten FALTER, Kaihara TOSHIKI, Linqi XU, Mayke van Leunen, Hareld Kemps, Hanne KINDERMANS, Paul DENDALE
Background: While questionnaires for assessing digital literacy exist, there is still a need for an easy-to-use and implementable questionnaire for assessing digital readiness in a broader sense. Additionally, learnability should be assessed to identify those patients who need additional training to use digital tools in a health care setting. Objective: The aim of the development of the Digital Health Readiness Questionnaire (DHRQ) was to create ...

Digital Health in Cardiac Rehabilitation and Secondary Prevention: A Search for the Ideal Tool Universiteit Hasselt

Maarten FALTER, Martijn SCHERRENBERG, Paul DENDALE
Digital health is becoming more integrated in daily medical practice. In cardiology, patient care is already moving from the hospital to the patients' homes, with large trials showing positive results in the field of telemonitoring via cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs), monitoring of pulmonary artery pressure via implantable devices, telemonitoring via home-based non-invasive sensors, and screening for atrial fibrillation via ...
