Examining standardized tools used for the evaluation of mobile health applications for cardiovascular disease
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Scarce resources and rising costs are pushing healthcare systems to their limits. There is an urgency to develop, optimize and evaluate technologies that provide more effective care for patients. Modern technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth) applications, can provide relief as a key strategy. To integrate digital interventions into care structures, a detailed impact as…
Use and benefit of information, communication, and assistive technology among community-dwelling older adults – a cross-sectional study
Despite the benefits older adults can gain from technology, its use remains low, especially among those with multimorbidity. Particularly newer, more innovative and (I)ADL-related AT appear underutilized. Considering the potential challenges in providing adequate care in the future, it may be crucial to support the use of these specific AT among older and frailer populations. To focus scientific and societal work, AT with a high impact on autonom…
Enhancing mHealth data collection applications with sensing capabilities
Smart mobile devices such as smartphones or tablets have become an important factor for collecting data in complex health scenarios (e.g., psychological studies, medical trials), and are more and more replacing traditional pen-and-paper instruments. However, simply digitizing such instruments does not yet realize the full potential of mobile devices: most modern smartphones have a variety of different sensor technologies (e.g., microphone, GPS da…
Methods Used to Evaluate mHealth Applications for Cardiovascular Disease
In the face of demographic change and constantly increasing health care costs, health care system decision-makers face ever greater challenges. Mobile health applications (mHealth apps) have the potential to combat this trend. However, in order to integrate mHealth apps into care structures, an evaluation of such apps is needed. In this paper, we focus on the criteria and methods of evaluating mHealth apps for cardiovascular disease and the impli…

Internet Surveys by Direct Mailing
This article describes a new method of collecting data by direct mailing via the Internet. Feasibility and capacities were evaluated through a worldwide opinion poll on global future risks of mankind and potential solutions. Within 1 day, a structured questionnaire was sent to 8,859 randomly selected e-mail addresses. One thousand seven hundred and thirteen were remailed properly completed, 90% within 4 days. Most respondents were residents of No…
