JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 7 ISSUE 2 SEPTEMBER 2018 35 Abstract: Inadequate support, along with the stroke patient’s level of disability, can have a negative impact on informal caregivers’ quality of life and well-being. Yet, there is a lack of research and interventions focused on improving the health and well-being of informal caregivers. To determine the most salient potential resources and features for stroke patient caregivers regarding the use of mobile apps to improve caregiver’s health. A nationwide survey of caregivers was mailed to stroke survivors through the National Stroke Association, which included questions on demographics, cell phone/smartphone ownership, and caregiver’s opinion about mobile app resources– specifically 1) scheduling multiple tasks, 2) finding resource information, 3) finding local resources, 4) tracking fitness and diet, and 5) communication with the stroke survivor. 396 stroke caregivers [(299 (76%) female, 96 (24%) African-American, 42 (11%) Hispanic/Latino, and 210 (53%) Caucasian], aged 20-99 years (mean 58.2 ± 11.30), returned surveys; 96% owned a cell phone and 60% owned a smartphone. Most caregivers reported aspects of the app to be useful, including, doctor/rehab appointments [80% (95% CI 76-84%)], links to reliable medical information [84% (95% CI 80-87%)], local stroke support groups [81% (95% CI 77-85%)], exercises [76% (95% CI 71-80%)], and touch screen with useful phrases [76% (95% CI 71-80%)]. Latino (88%-74%) and African-American (84%77%) caregivers reported the highest rate of usefulness. Implementation of a mobile app unique to stroke caregivers with multiple resources is desired by this diverse, national sample of informal caregivers. Such a mobile app holds potential to reduce the disparities gap for resource use.
摘要:支持不足，以及中风患者的残疾水平，可能会对非正式护理人员的生活质量和福祉产生负面影响。然而，缺乏侧重于改善非正式照料者健康和福祉的研究和干预措施。确定卒中患者护理人员在使用移动应用程序改善护理人员健康方面最显著的潜在资源和特征。一项针对护理人员的全国性调查通过美国中风协会邮寄给中风幸存者，调查内容包括人口统计、手机/智能手机拥有情况、护理人员对移动应用程序资源的看法——具体来说是1)安排多项任务，2)查找资源信息，3)查找本地资源，4)跟踪健身和饮食，以及5)与中风幸存者的沟通。396名卒中护理人员[其中女性299名(76%)，非裔美国人96名(24%)，西班牙裔/拉丁裔42名(11%)，白种人210名(53%)]，年龄20-99岁(平均58.2±11.30);96%的人拥有手机，60%的人拥有智能手机。大多数护理人员报告该应用程序的某些方面是有用的，包括医生/康复预约[80% (95% CI 76-84%)]，可靠医疗信息链接[84% (95% CI 80-87%)]，当地中风支持小组[81% (95% CI 77-85%)]，锻炼[76% (95% CI 71-80%)]，以及带有有用短语的触摸屏[76% (95% CI 71-80%)]。拉丁裔(88%-74%)和非裔美国人(84% - 77%)的护理人员报告的有用性最高。实现一个移动应用程序独特的中风护理人员与多种资源是由这个多样化的，国家样本的非正规护理人员。这样的移动应用程序具有缩小资源使用差距的潜力。

JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 7 ISSUE 2 SEPTEMBER 2018 60 Abstract: Through the advent of smartphones, the previously elusive internet is now available to each person right in their hands, with lightning fast speeds available at rather nominal charges. Mobile phones offer numerous solutions to dentists and health workers alike and can be applied in a variety of ways in a public health setting. This paper discusses the application of mobile phones in primary, as well as secondary and tertiary levels of intervention from a dental public health perspective. Indeed, the described strategies can be employed by professionals, alone or combined with other interventions, to enhance the oral health of their patients.

After each telemedicine visit a patient standardized satisfaction survey was completed, comprising 11 questions assessing patient willingness to participate, technical issues, and satisfaction with the clinic experience and medical provider.

JOURNAL OF MOBILE TECHNOLOGY IN MEDICINE VOL. 7 ISSUE 2 SEPTEMBER 2018 51 Background: Despite the prevalence of HIV and hepatitis C virus (HCV), many people in the United States have never been screened for these infections. Mobile phones could educate patients about screening recommendations and “nudge” them to request screening from their physicians. There is a need for studies to understand patients’ perspectives on this campaign strategy.

There is widespread evidence of an association between reduced health literacy and an increased risk of poor medical outcome. Patients with poor medical education experience significantly higher emergency room costs and up to double the hospital admission rates compared to patients with sufficient medical education. Lack of medical literacy is particularly important in the ageing population, due to increased burden of chronic illness and the increasingly complex management of progressive chronic conditions. To address this, various smartphone and tablet medical applications have been developed to improve patient health literacy and monitor chronic illnesses. We propose the need to examine the technological literacy of elderly patients, who are most likely to benefit from these applications.

Background: Racial and ethnic minorities face disparities in receiving the influenza vaccination. A text message intervention could deliver personalized and timely messages to counsel patients on asking their physician for the vaccination.
Aims: We assessed whether patients would be receptive to influenza vaccination text messages.
Methods: Participants were recruited from a sample of low-income, racial and ethnic minority primary care patients. Participants completed a self-administered survey. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: There were 274 patients who participated and answered the questions of interest, of whom 70% were racial and ethnic minorities and 85% owned a cell phone. Thirty-six percent reported they had never received an influenza vaccination recommendation from their physician. However, 84% would be comfortable asking their physician for the influenza vaccination. Of cell phone-owning participants who would be comfortable asking their physician about the influenza vaccination, 80% would also be comfortable receiving a text message reminder.
Conclusion: Text messages may be an acceptable channel to prompt patients to discuss the annual influenza vaccination with their physicians. Text messaging is a feasible tool to engage patients in their health and improve annual influenza vaccination rates among low-income, racial and ethnic minority patients.

Results: Length of hospitalization was longer in the control group than in the CareLink group (4.04 vs. 2.21 days). Notably 91.3% of physicians preferred the use of CareLink Express over standard interrogation methods. Patients reported shorter wait time for device results with CareLink Express and “felt less anxious” compared to standard interrogation methods with corresponding p-values of 0.009 and 0.01. Control group arrival to interrogation time ranged from 91-3,022 minutes while the CareLink group ranged from 18-1,551 minutes. Significantly less time was required for interrogation in the CareLink group (422 min) than that of the Control group (1150 min, p < 0.001).

A previously healthy 37 year old man, with no risk factors, sustained a cardiac arrest whilst running a half marathon. During the event, he was using a fitness tracking device (Fitbit Surge, Fitbit Inc. San Francisco). The time and location of the arrest was determined from the Fitbit data when the pace fell to zero, indicating a lack of movement (Figure 1). Interestingly, at the time of the arrest the heart rate decreased but did not fall to zero as expected. These heart rate inaccuracies may be related to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) interference.
