“…However, effects of these outcomes were not considered for the HEE and thus, no conclusion for combined interventions can be drawn. A large trial among 69 219 employees found that besides significant improvement in PA and SB, significant changes in health outcomes were also found (65). HEE of such PA and SB interventions are needed to provide decision makers with the evidence to make informed decisions about allocation of scarce resources (18).…”

Health economic evaluations of interventions to increase physical activity and decrease sedentary behavior at the workplace: a systematic review by Lutz N, Clarys P, Koenig I, Deliens T, Taeymans J, Verhaeghe N This systematic review identified 18 economic evaluations of worksite physical activity and sedentary behaviour interventions. Effects were small and the impact on costs was uncertain. Therefore, the economic evidence of these interventions remains unclear. Future studies are needed to determine which strategies work best. Economic evaluations of such interventions should be established using sound methodology and model the long-term cost-effectiveness.

“…Patient engagement can be a problem, with significant rates of user attrition seen in multiple studies. 16 It seems that individually tailored messaging is the wisest approach, with some evidence suggesting that generic health messaging is ineffective. 7 There are various solutions to this issue, one being the gamification of mobile health.…”

“…Academic researchers teamed up with the private sector professionals to implement and monitor the 100-day Stepathlon programme among 70,000 participants where most of the participants were from developing countries. 71 Telemedicine also strengthens primary healthcare by developing the capacity of healthcare professionals living and working in rural and hard to reach areas. Application of mobile phone improves the capacity of the patients by enhancing the scope of selfmanagement.…”

The traditional model of health services imposes limitations, especially in resourcelimited countries like Nepal. Introduction to information technology can mitigate various challenges like geographic complexity, urban-rural disparity, poor accessibility, shortage of healthcare professionals, inadequate health facilities, higher cost, and time. Nepal is a resourcelimited country with diverse geographic features making it hard to have proper access to healthcare facilities. Telemedicine service has the potential to improve service quality and accessibility of the disadvantaged and underserved population by overcoming the existing challenges. The objective of this review was to explore the roles of telemedicine in vanquishing existing challenges. Seven data sources (namely CINAHL, PubMed, POPLINE, Web of Science, Scopus, DOAJ and Summon) were consulted using five keywords (telemedicine, telehealth, eHealth, mHealth and Nepal to find the literature using the Boolean operator AND) to obtain the relevant materials. The narrative synthesis method was used to review papers and to analyze the findings. This review selected 27 papers for further analysis by scrutinizing 1161 initial search results. The most common features of telemedicine services so far, implemented or piloted in Nepal, were addressing geographic remoteness (21%), a shortage of in healthcare service providers (11%), saving time (11%), addressing challenges of extreme conditions (10%), cost saving (9%), service quality (9%) and real-time services (8%). Some other features of telemedicine were communication, transportation, referral, collaboration, addressing challenges in proper diagnosis and the shortage of health professionals. In a nutshell, the review findings suggested improved service quality, increased collaboration and accessibility and decreased the disparity in comparison with traditional health service models. Although it cannot be said that telemedicine in Nepal has been mainstreamed, yet the appeal is increasing due to its positive impact, especially in rural and hard-to-reach areas where with a lack of healthcare set-up and professionals.
