Web-Based, Algorithm-Guided Insulin Titration in Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes: Pre-Post Intervention Study

Web-Based, Algorithm-Guided Insulin Titration in Insulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes: Pre-Post Intervention Study

Several web-based programs and mobile apps have been developed to overcome some of the abovementioned challenges. Instead of manual recording of SMBG and then providing feedback to their provider in person, these programs allow patients to record and transmit SMBG data directly via the app, reducing the frequency of face-to-face visits [15-17].

Enhancing Methodological Rigor in Mobile Health Care Research

Enhancing Methodological Rigor in Mobile Health Care Research

Tang et al’s recent study published in JMIR Human Factors [1], titled “The Use of Mobile Health Care Among Medical Professionals in the Sichuan-Chongqing Region: Cross-Sectional Survey Study,” captured my attention. Their analysis of mobile health (m Health) device use and influencing factors, using chi-square and multivariable logistic regression analyses, revealed a significant association between age and m Health use. This study provides valuable insights from China’s western region.

Evaluation of a New Mobile Virtual Reality Setup to Alter Pain Perception: Pilot Development and Usability Study in Healthy Participants

Evaluation of a New Mobile Virtual Reality Setup to Alter Pain Perception: Pilot Development and Usability Study in Healthy Participants

In this pilot study, our primary goal was to evaluate an easy-to-use, telerehabilitation-friendly, mobile setup, that reduces the setup complexity significantly by using a stand-alone head-mounted display (HMD) for the visualization and a smartwatch to detect the heartbeats using photoplethysmography (PPG). We hypothesized that participants report a high level of usability and a low number of side effects, allowing for the setup to be tested in a larger randomized clinical trial.

Assessing the Response Results of an mHealth-Based Patient Experience Survey Among People Receiving HIV Care in Lusaka, Zambia: Cohort Study

The increasing availability of mobile devices and mobile network coverage in sub-Saharan Africa presents a growing opportunity for mobile health (m Health) interventions. By 2025, projections estimate that 50% of the sub-Saharan African population will own a mobile phone [1]. Zambia exemplifies this trend, with rapid mobile network expansion leading to an estimated 21.1 million mobile connections, reaching 91.4% of the population [2].

Reducing Alcohol Misuse and Promoting Treatment Initiation Among Veterans Through a Brief Internet-Based Intervention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Reducing Alcohol Misuse and Promoting Treatment Initiation Among Veterans Through a Brief Internet-Based Intervention: Protocol for a Randomized Controlled Trial

Internet and mobile phone–based treatment approaches represent a potentially important avenue through which to help veterans overcome barriers to accessing the care they may not otherwise pursue. Existing outreach efforts target veterans already seeking services at the VA (eg, care for physical injuries) through public media campaigns and announcements in primary care clinics.
