“…Users' desires and requirements for self-empowerment applications, however, have changed over time. For example, prior to this, the emphasis was primarily on the consumers administering their treatment alone with little help from the healthcare professionals and user preferences [15], [90], a large number of users, however, seem to anticipate that the applications would involve their healthcare providers in their regimens and routines, according to recent research [16], [122], [123]. The absence of customized feedback, poor user interface design, and accessibility concerns with current medical monitoring programmes are further problems (e.g.…”

Diabetes mellitus has become a global epidemic, with an increasing number of individuals affected by this chronic metabolic disorder. Effective management of diabetes requires a comprehensive self-care approach, which encompasses various aspects like monitoring blood glucose levels, adherence to medication, modifications in lifestyle, and regular healthcare monitoring. Innovative techniques for bettering diabetic self-care management have been developed recently as a result of developments in technology and healthcare systems. This comprehensive review examines the modern methods that have emerged to enhance diabetes self-care management systems. The review focuses on the integration of technology, Behavioural Change Techniques (BCTs), behavioural health theories such as Transtheoretical Model (TTM), the Health Belief Model (HBM), Theory of Reasoned Action/Planned Behaviour (TPB), Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) techniques to promote optimal diabetes care outcomes. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) 2020 standards were followed in this research's documentation. The Systematic Literature Review (SLR) period, which covered 2009 to 2020, was used to acquire the most recent complete review. Overall, the SLR results show that self-care interventions have a favourable impact on behaviours modification, the encouragement of good lifestyle habits, the lowering of blood glucose scales, and the accomplishment of significant weight loss. According to the review's findings, treatments for diabetic self-management that included behavioural health theories and BCTs in their creation tended to be more successful. In order to assist academics and practitioners with the creation of future applications, the restriction and future direction were finally defined. After recognising the potential for combining BCT methodologies and theories, it creates self-management interventions. Depending on these recognised cutting-edge mechanisms, the current SLR can assist application developers create a model to construct efficient self-care interventions for diabetes.

“…In addition the right input data enables health indicators to be measured and monitored towards realising provincial and national healthcare goals and objectives. The importance of human-centred design in effective human-computer interaction has been documented in the literature (Singh, Wünsche, & Lutteroth, 2010). As TD is scaled-up it will be essential that information system interfaces are user friendly, able to input data from both fixed and mobile devices, and able to ensure data accuracy and completeness using structured input fields (International Telecommunication Union-Telecommunication Development Sector (ITU-D), 2011)…”

The value proposition of full-scale teledermatology is evidenced in the literature. The public health sector of South Africa’s KwaZulu-Natal province began synchronous teledermatology in 2003, followed by spontaneous asynchronous (mobile) teledermatology in 2013. No scale-up has been formally planned. This paper establishes design requirements that will inform the identification or de novo development of a teledermatology scale-up framework. Methods: A requirements definition process with inductive reasoning approaches was applied. Analysis of semi-structured interviews (19) with key teledermatology stakeholders (17) and observations from two teledermatology programmes, informed by lessons learned from prior teledermatology implementation attempts, eHealth scale-up literature and authors’ expert opinion, led to identification of Themes, and iterative reflection gave rise to Categories and Requirements. Results: Teledermatology scale-up framework design requirements emerged comprised of themes (4), categories (12), and specific design requirements (30). Discussion: This paper describes a process and resulting evidence-based (stakeholder interviews; programme observations; literature) and experience-based (expert opinion) design requirements to inform the identification and adoption / adaptation or de novo development of a teledermatology scale-up framework (TDSF) for KwaZulu-Natal’s public health sector. The proposed approach is recommended as a pre-requisite for scaling, including in other settings and for other telehealth applications.
