“…To investigate the real-world patient usage of mHealth apps in China, a large private mHealth app provider called HaoDF (HaoDF Online Corp., Beijing China) that provides medical service to up to 72 million patients was selected. 24 Deidenti ed app usage data via an open access data platform granted for scienti c research was obtained. 25 App usage data for 2016 and 2020, included the following data elements -each episode of care's diagnosis, date of consultation, patient's city of residence, physician's name and facility of physician.…”

Background Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) create a large disease burden in China. The country’s large population and land mass make access to CVD care difficult. The virtual model of care provided through mobile health (mHealth) can improve access to care and management of chronic CVDs on a population level. The article aims to examine the evolution of mHealth coverage, patient usage, and service development and delivery for CVD on a national level and describe its potential to impact access to cardiovascular care in developing countries. Methods We collected data on mHealth platforms for telemedicine of CVDs in the Chinese market in 2016, 2017, 2019 and 2020 from platforms available to the general public. Factors affecting access to CVD care were analyzed including 1) longitudinal changes of mHealth services provided per region; 2) medical facility coverage rate per province by mHealth apps; 3) distribution of specific cardiovascular conditions being sought on mHealth apps; and 4) the flow of patients across geographies to receive telemedicine. Descriptive statistics were used. Findings 45.8% of tertiary hospitals were accessible by mHealth apps in 2016, this grew at an average annual growth rate of 10.7% between 2016 to 2020. Regions with a higher economic level, population, percentage of elderly, and internet penetration, rather than CVD burden, had better mHealth coverage. 34% and 67% of patients consulted doctors outside of their own provinces in 2016 and 2020, respectively. Wealthiest areas of Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong were the preferred destinations (57.1% in 2016, 38.4% in 2020) for patients seeking interprovincial care. The top 3 disease types were the common chronic CVDs of hypertension, coronary artery disease and arrhythmia. Interpretation The uniform functionality available across provinces and apps suggest a mature technological and health service infrastructure across Mainland China, where the widespread adoption of service delivery and offerings (such as payment, tracking, telemedicine, etc.) via mHealth apps show a step toward democratizing access to care across the country. The inter-provincial flow of patients to HCPs suggests poorer and resource-scarce areas are poised to benefit more while the burden on major cities can be ameliorated; We found regions that are traditionally underdeveloped and lacking in access to care had the most increase in services available. However, adequate technological infrastructure needs to be available and mobile technology widely adopted by patients and medical facilities.

Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is a direct infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium Tuberculosis. WHO reported that during 2014 – 2016, almost 89% of the world's population suffered from TB. Furthermore, the 2017 WHO report showed that there were 14 countries in the world that experienced a double burden of TB such as sensitive TB, MDR-TB and TB/HIV. WHO estimates that there are 23,000 cases of MDR/RR in Indonesia. Purpose: The general aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of the telemedicine system on the quality of life and medication adherence of MDR-TB patients. Creation of the SOWANS E-TBS telemedicine system in the form of an application and website that helps treat MDR-TB patients. Methods: This research method is quasi experimental. Where a treatment group and a control group will be formed. The treatment group will be given the E-TB SOWANS application. Then compared with the control group. Both groups will be given quality of life questionnaires and medication adherence before and after treatment. Results: The distribution of MDR TB patients based on the intervention and control groups showed that 20 MDR TB patients received treatment (53.6%), while the number of patients in the control group was 18 people (47.4%). MDR TB patients based on treatment compliance showed that MDR TB patients who had non-adherence to treatment were 11 (28.9%) patients, and those who were adherent to treatment. Conclusion: Based on the research results and discussion by referring back to the problem formulation and hypothesis, it can be concluded that there is an influence of the E-TBCS application innovation on the quality of life of MDR-TB patients. Current advances in technology 4.0 can help improve the quality of life of MDR-TB patients. Keywords: Application; Telemedicine; Counseling; SOWANS; Tuberculosis
