“…Indonesia is an archipelagic country that is very suitable for the application of telenursing as an answer to the problem of unequal health services in Indonesia, but of course the government and professional organizations must create regulations that will regulate telenursing practices, namely standards of practice, codes of ethics, protocols, and telenursing guidelines in Indonesia [1], [8], [10], [16], [20].…”

Background: Telemedicine has an important role in diabetes mellitus management, including health reminders. Diabetes mellitus sufferers need to have good self-care management skills to prevent complications. One way to establish a good level of self-management is by providing reminders containing self-management components through communication media. Purpose: To analyze the influence of health reminders on the self-management of patients with diabetes mellitus at Patas Health Center, Central Kalimantan. Methods: This study type was quantitative, and the design used the quasi-experimental method with a pre-post test design with a control group. The sample in this study was 74 respondents via purposive sampling, with 37 respondents in each group, with an intervention group and a control group. The data collection in this study used questionnaire measurement tools and data analysis using the Mann-Whitney and Wilcoxon tests. Results: The research results showed that the results of the analysis using the Wilcoxon test in the control group showed p > 0.05, namely 0.82, which means there was no significant increase in the control group. In the intervention group, p < 0.05 is the same as 0.00, which means there is a significant increase in self-management abilities in the intervention group. Meanwhile, the Mann-Whitey result was p = 0.00, meaning there was a difference between the intervention and control groups. Conclusion: Health reminders have a positive influence on the self-management of diabetes mellitus patients. Health reminders need to be implemented by service facilities, especially in caring for diabetes mellitus patients. The government also needs to pay attention to implementing telenursing in service facilities.

Globally, countries are increasingly facing challenges regarding their national future post the COVID-19 pandemic with respect to decreasing and aging populations; dwindling workforces; trade wars due to restricted movement of goods, people, and services; and overcoming economic development and societal problems. Accordingly, we identify the challenges and corresponding solutions that act as pillars for a framework to build a super smart nation. We analyze 73 peer-reviewed research papers from Scopus index databases and use the Delphi methodology to identify the challenges, which include people and society, robots, technology, research and innovation, digital infrastructure, data, politics, governance, and sustainability. Further, we discuss the relevant solutions, including top leadership motivation and commitment; proactive steps from the government, development of policies; legal frameworks and laws; creation of awareness programs; use of advanced technologies (such as robotics and semantic technologies); and development of interoperable infrastructure; innovation ecosystem; sustainable energy sources; and global standards for education system through transformation of the education system. These novel insights have valuable practical and theoretical implications for guiding policymakers, industry leaders, and researchers in building a super smart nation.

“…This challenge continues to affect the outcomes of local government service delivery. The goal of ICT is to bridge the communication gap, which requires greater accountability and transparency on the part of policy makers, as well as the political will to integrate technology into all levels of local government to achieve greater public participation for good governance in local decision making [63].…”

South African municipal service delivery has been an area of highly debated concern, with many citizens lacking access to basic service delivery, such as water and electricity. Fast forward to the Covid-19 Pandemic, bombarding itself into every state, home and workplace and concerns over municipal service delivery has amplified. Much like Covid-19, the fourth industrial revolution too erupted into every facet of public and private life but more optimistically, so as it promises to fast track economic development, ease mundane daily tasks and improve services and systems. This article explores municipal service delivery in South Africa and its intersection with emerging technologies, further providing prospects for future application. The article relies on a qualitative approach, reviewing primary and secondary literature, such as statistics, reports and journal articles to explore how advanced and emerging technologies have been applied at a local level to improve municipal service delivery, further attempting to understand future prospects. From the findings of the study, it is evident, that protest action against municipal service delivery has escalated in the last few years, signifying possible worsening service delivery and little adaptation of new methods and technologies. However, there have been some attempts to improve service delivery, utilising emerging technologies, but much more can be done as illustrated in other states, at a local and national level
