Background: Telemedicine (interconsultation between primary and hospital care teams)\nhas been operating in the counties of Central Catalonia Bages, Moianès and Berguedà since 2011,\nspecializing in teledermatology, teleulcers, teleophthalmology and teleaudiometries. For the period\nuntil the end of 2019, a total of 52,198 visits were recorded. Objective: To analyze the differential costs\nbetween telemedicine and usual care in a semi-urban environment..........................
This paper reviews applications of machine learning (ML) predictive models in the diagnosis\nof chronic diseases. Chronic diseases (CDs) are responsible for a major portion of global health costs.\nPatients who suffer from these diseases need lifelong treatment. Nowadays, predictive models are\nfrequently applied in the diagnosis and forecasting of these diseases.............................
Background: Telehealth interventions offer an evidenced-based approach to providing cost-effective care, education,\nand timely communication at a distance. Yet, despite its widespread use, telehealth has not reached full potential,\nespecially in rural areas, due to the complex process of designing and implementing telehealth programs. The objective\nof this paper is to explore the use of a theory-based approach, the Model for Developing Complex Interventions in\nNursing, to design a pilot telehealth intervention program for a rural population with multiple chronic conditions.....................................
Background: We examined whether telecommunication-device-based distance interviews are inferior to face-toface\ninterviews in terms of facilitating behavioral changes and disease management in patients with diabetic\nnephropathy. We also examined the feasibility of a newly designed six-month telenursing program.........................
Telerehabilitation (TR) has been proven to be an effective tool in improving the adaptive skills\nof children and young adults with Multiple Disabilities (MDs). The application of a comprehensive\nset of new technologies reveals new opportunities for both physical and cognitive telerehabilitation,\nbut there is no holistic approach in the case of genetic syndromes. In this paper we present reflections\nand early results of the TCTRS project that aims at implementing a telerehabilitation system capable\nof offering complete coverage of rehabilitation needs for people with Rett Syndrome, from both the\nphysical and cognitive points of view. Moreover, the data acquired through the system can also\nrepresent a basis for machine learning applications to remotely support therapists and physicians.\nOur first tests on the system application show the great potential of our approach, in terms of\nfeasibility and applicability, for both rehabilitation centers and families....
Telemedicine is both effective and able to provide efficient care at a lower cost. It also enjoys\na high degree of acceptance among users. The Technology Acceptance Model proposed is based on\nthe two main concepts of ease of use and perceived usefulness and is comprised of three dimensions:\nthe individual context, the technological context and the implementation or organizational context........................
