“…9 Mental health services are often designed to be family and friends orientated and digital interventions could play an important role by providing support digitally where practical issues may impede access to conventional psychosocial interventions. 10,11 To date trials have shown that online psychoeducation is useful and acceptable to relatives of those with bipolar disorder 12 and schizophrenia. 9 Despite their potential, there have been widespread difficulties in integrating and implementing digital interventions into real-world clinical settings, an indication of the evidence-practice gap.…”

Digital health interventions present an important opportunity to improve healthcare for people affected by psychosis or bipolar disorder, but despite their potential there have been widespread difficulties in integrating and implementing them into clinical settings. This review aims to identify factors affecting implementation of digital health interventions for people affected by psychosis or bipolar disorder. We searched 7 databases and synthesised data from 26 studies using the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research. Attitudes and beliefs about interventions were crucial factors for both staff and service users, with negative attitudes and scepticism resulting in a lack of motivation to engage with or complete interventions. The complexity of the interventions was a barrier for people with psychiatric symptoms, lower premorbid IQ, or lower IT skills. The accessibility and adaptability of interventions were key facilitators but lack of resources, finances and staff time were barriers to implementation. Interventions need to be user-friendly and adaptable to the needs and capabilities of people with psychosis or bipolar disorder and the staff who support their implementation. Service users and staff should co-facilitate the process of developing and implementing the interventions. 4

A Systematic Review of eHealth Interventions Addressing HIV/STI Prevention Among Men Who Have Sex With Men

et al. 2019

A systematic review was conducted to summarize and appraise the eHealth interventions addressing HIV/STI prevention among men who have sex with men (MSM), and characterize features of successful eHealth interventions. Fifty-five articles (17 pilots and 38 full efficacy trials) were included with the predominance of web-based interventions in the United Statesbased settings. Intervention modalities include web-based, short message service (SMS)/text messges/email reminder, online video-based, computer-assisted, multimedia-based, social network, live chat and chat room, virtual simulation intervention, and smartphone applications. Forty-nine eHealth interventions achieved a short-term behaviour change among participants. Four studies were conducted with 12-month follow-ups; and only one of them could maintain the behaviour change over this longer time period which could be due to the lack of booster interventions. Our study suggests that eHealth interventions can achieve short term behaviour change among MSM, however limited interventions could maintain behaviour change over 12 months. Further eHealth intervention strategies to promote HIV prevention among MSM should be conducted and rigorously evaluated.

This study analyzes the mechanisms that underlie ehealth uptake in the Netherlands. Taking a Technological Innovation Systems (TIS) approach, through interviews, observation and document analysis the seven functions of the innovation system for ehealth are analyzed and barriers to system development are identified. The study finds that financial resource mobilization, resistance to change, market formation and to some extent 'guidance of the search' are hampering the development of e-health, even though the latter is increasingly taking shape through formation of active networks of health professionals and managers, and ICT professionals. In addition, findings suggest that both organizational and geographical proximity matter in the collaborative development of e-health. It is essential that the mechanisms that hamper the development of ehealth are addressed, if the healthcare system in the Netherlands is to develop towards a truly citizen-centered system. Addressing problems related to financial incentives and business cases, in addition to the creation of stronger inter-organizational networks to spur vision creation and knowledge development and exchange, are means to enhance the functions of the innovation system.
