“…Research has shown that patients who actively engage in their own care experience improved self-efficacy and better quality of life (9)(10)(11). Mobile health (mHealth) can be effective to stimulate self-management (12). In contrast to eHealth (electronic Health), which refers to the general use of information and communication technologies for health, mHealth encompasses a spectrum of mobile technologies aimed at facilitating the collection and communication of health data to improve healthcare service delivery processes (12,13).…”

Background: There is a growing need to structurally change the way chronic illness care is organized as health systems struggle to meet the demand for chronic care. mHealth technologies can alter traditional approaches to health care provision by stimulating self-management of chronically ill patients. The aim of this study was to understand the complex environment related to the introduction of mHealth solutions into primary care for chronic disease management while considering health system functioning and stakeholder views.Methods: A transdisciplinary approach was used informed by the Interactive Learning and Action (ILA) methodology. Exploratory interviews (n = 5) were held with representatives of stakeholder groups to identify and position key stakeholders. Subsequently, professionals and chronically ill patients were consulted separately to elaborate on the barriers and facilitators in integration, using semi-structured interviews (n = 17) and a focus group (n = 6). Follow-up interviews (n = 5) were conducted to discuss initial findings of the stakeholder analysis.Results: Most stakeholders, in particular primary care practitioners and patients, seem to have a supporting or mixed attitude toward integration of mHealth. On the other hand, several powerful stakeholders, including primary care information system developers and medical specialists are likely to show resistance or a lack of initiative toward mHealth integration. Main barriers to mHealth integration were a lack of interoperability with existing information systems; difficulties in financing mHealth implementation; and limited readiness in general practices to change. Potential enablers of integration included co-design of mHealth solutions and incentives for pioneers.Conclusion: Stakeholders acknowledge the benefits of integrating mHealth in primary care. However, important barriers perceived by end-users prevent them to fully adopt and use mHealth. This study shows that the complexity of introducing mHealth into primary care calls for strategies encouraging collaboration between multiple stakeholders to enhance successful implementation.

Mobile health apps (MHAs) and medical apps (MAs) are becoming increasingly popular as digital interventions in a wide range of health-related applications in almost all sectors of healthcare. The surge in demand for digital medical solutions has been accelerated by the need for new diagnostic and therapeutic methods in the current coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic. This also applies to clinical practice in gastroenterology, which has, in many respects, undergone a recent digital transformation with numerous consequences that will impact patients and health care professionals in the near future. MHAs and MAs are considered to have great potential, especially for chronic diseases, as they can support the self-management of patients in many ways. Despite the great potential associated with the application of MHAs and MAs in gastroenterology and health care in general, there are numerous challenges to be met in the future, including both the ethical and legal aspects of applying this technology. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the current status of MHA and MA use in the field of gastroenterology, describe the future perspectives in this field and point out some of the challenges that need to be addressed.

Introduction:The COVID-19 pandemic prompted policies that limited direct human interactions globally. Due to this, healthcare systems worldwide have witnessed unprecedented challenges in providing adequate and continuous healthcare for patients with Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), among them hypertension and diabetes. The pandemic promoted the expansion of telehealth, thanks to its potential to extend services to remote places and capitalize on high expertise made available to patients otherwise kept waiting or unattended. Despite this, few studies have analyzed health professionals' evaluation of telehealth usability for post-pandemic care of patients with NCDs. Objective: To assess healthcare professionals' evaluation of telehealth usability in post-pandemic care of patients with NCDs. Methods: This is a systematic review and narrative analysis. The primary outcome will be usability or "ease of use" in patient care. Secondary outcomes are satisfaction (acceptance), the impression of their patient's satisfaction, and the contexts in which the mobile devices are used. Clinical trials, prospective cohort studies, retrospective observational studies, and studies that used qualitative data collection and analysis methods, published in English, Spanish or Portuguese from March 2020 onwards, on healthcare professionals' evaluation of telehealth in post-pandemic care of patients with hypertension and diabetes will be included. Studies that do not pertain to the research questions, incomplete articles, abstracts, review articles, editorials, books, academic articles, dissertations, theses, and proceedings of scientific events will be excluded. The databases to be queried will be MEDLINE (accessed by PubMed), Embase, BIREME, IEEE Xplore, gray literature, and manual search.
