“…The present study aimed to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a longitudinal technology-driven care management program employing wearable technology and monthly telehealth visits with a neuropsychologist in a sample of individuals with advanced dementia. Consistent with previous studies, we found high acceptability by both the residents and their caregivers (Dang et al, 2018;Farina & Lowry, 2017).…”

The aim of the current study was to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a multicomponent care management program in older adults with advanced dementia in a long-term memory care unit. Eighteen older adults with moderate to severe dementia were asked to wear an activity monitor (Fitbit Charge 2 HR) and participate in a once monthly telehealth intervention via iPads over a 6-month period. Activity monitor data were used to assess compliance. Acceptability was assessed through qualitative interviews conducted with the caregiving staff on the memory unit. The care management program was acceptable to residents and their caregivers. Results indicated that the care management program is feasible in older adults with advanced dementia although activity monitor adherence was better during the day than at night. Telehealth session compliance was excellent throughout the study. A long-term multicomponent dementia care program is acceptable and feasible in individuals with advanced dementia. Future studies should aim to evaluate whether data received from activity monitors can be used in a dementia care intervention program.

“…Other studies have shown similar levels of patient satisfaction, particularly in terms of time saved (as a result of not needing to travel to clinics) and costs saved. 101,104,107 In a randomised trial of Skype sessions versus standard home care in supporting families with premature infants, the nine families randomised to Skype sessions reported very positive experiences. All found the technology easy to use, noting that virtual consultations were better than telephone calls.…”

HS&DR programmeThe Health Services and Delivery Research (HS&DR) programme, part of the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR), was established to fund a broad range of research. It combines the strengths and contributions of two previous NIHR research programmes: the Health Services Research (HSR) programme and the Service Delivery and Organisation (SDO) programme, which were merged in January 2012.The HS&DR programme aims to produce rigorous and relevant evidence on the quality, access and organisation of health services including costs and outcomes, as well as research on implementation. The programme will enhance the strategic focus on research that matters to the NHS and is keen to support ambitious evaluative research to improve health services.For more information about the HS&DR programme please visit the website: http://www.nets.nihr.ac.uk/programmes/hsdr This reportThe research reported in this issue of the journal was funded by the HS&DR programme or one of its preceding programmes as project number 13/59/26.

“…Although we are not aware of any study reporting the use of telehealth for tinnitus management during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been widespread availability of telehealth services for audiology (Swanepoel and Hall 2010;Tao et al 2018), and this increased during the lockdown (Huang, Imam, and Nguyen 2020;Ratanjee-Vanmali, Swanepoel, and Laplante-L evesque 2020). Even prior to the lockdown, several authors suggested the use of therapy for tinnitus via telephone, Internet or hard copy educational materials (Molini-Avejonas et al 2015;Aazh, Moore, and Roberts 2009;Beukes et al 2018b;Dang et al 2018;Henry et al 2019).…”

Objective: The Audiology Department at the Royal Surrey County Hospital usually offers face-to-face audiologist-delivered cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for tinnitus rehabilitation. During COVID-19 lockdown, patients were offered telehealth CBT via video using a web-based platform. This study evaluated the proportion of patients who took up the offer of telehealth sessions and factors related to this. Design: Retrospective service evaluation. Study sample: 113 consecutive patients whose care was interrupted by the lockdown. Results: 80% of patients accepted telehealth. The main reasons for declining were not having access to a suitable device and the belief that telehealth appointments would not be useful. Compared to having no hearing loss in the better ear, having a mild or moderate hearing loss increased the chance of declining telehealth by factors of 3.5 (p ¼ 0.04) and 14.9 (p ¼ 0.038), respectively. High tinnitus annoyance as measured via the visual analogue scale increased the chance of declining telehealth appointments by a factor of 1.4 (p ¼ 0.019). Conclusions: Although CBT via telehealth was acceptable to most patients, alternatives may be necessary for the 20% who declined. These tended to have worse hearing in their better ear and more annoying tinnitus.
