“…User’s ethnicity, age, marital status, and geographical location appears to influence access to, uptake of, and satisfaction with the mHealth services. Younger people has a faster uptake for mHealth services then older population, as younger people are more motivated to accept change and are keen to know health-related information and test new innovations [28]. Thus, demographic characteristics of communities’ should be considered during the process of mHealth adoption and implementation [28].…”

“…It is important to know that the suggested new mHealth intervention for NCD control and prevention is affordable for the community or not, as lower socio-economic groups may not have personal mobile phone access and may have lower levels of home internet access with reduced ability to pay for mHealth services. Thus, economic status should be considered throughout the course of mHealth adoption and implementation as it appears to affect mHealth uptake for the control and prevention of NCDs [24,28]. Moreover, educational accomplishment also appears to affect adoption of mHealth services, as the use technology and internet demand appropriate IT skills from general populations.…”

“…Moreover, educational accomplishment also appears to affect adoption of mHealth services, as the use technology and internet demand appropriate IT skills from general populations. It has been found out that attaining a higher level of education and in turn receiving a higher annual income is positively co-related with higher use of information technology including mHealth [28]. Thus, higher education is correlated with the greater awareness and use of mHealth services.…”

“…Thus, higher education is correlated with the greater awareness and use of mHealth services. For that reason, mHealth implementers and experts should take in to account the capacity and educational attainment of communities during the course of mHealth implementation for prevention and control of NCDs [28]. In addition, communities demand relevant services and information provided through mHealth intervention for the reduction of NCDs.…”

In low-and-middle-income countries, epidemiologic transition is taking place very rapidly from communicable diseases to non-communicable diseases. NCDs mortality rates are increasing faster and nearly 80% of NCDs deaths occur in LMICs. Existing weak health systems of LMICs are undergoing a devastating human and economic toll as a result of increasing treatment costs and losses to productivity from NCDs. At the same time, the increasing penetration of mobile phone technology and the spread of cellular network and infrastructure have led to the introduction of the mHealth field. While mHealth field offers a great promise to prevent and control non-communicable diseases in low-and-middle-income countries: there is a great debate going on to explore health systems readiness for adopting mHealth technology to address NCDs in LMICs. There are a number of factors which determine health systems readiness and response for adoption of mHealth technology including preparedness of healthcare institutions, availability of the resources, willingness of healthcare providers and communities. We have discussed these factors to understand health systems preparedness to adopt mHealth field for prevention and control of NCDs. To adequately integrate mobile-phone-based health interventions into existing health systems, these factors should be dealt up-front through constant effort to improve health systems response for NCDs. Currently, there is insufficient empirical and policy evidence on this research area and therefore future research and policy dialogue should be directed to assess the health systems willingness for mHealth adoption principally to address NCDs in the context of LMICs.

Background Chronic pain (i.e. pain lasting longer than three months) is common. Psychological therapies (e.g. cognitive behavioural therapy) can help people to cope with pain, depression and disability that can occur with such pain. Treatments currently are delivered via hospital outpatient consultation (face-to-face) or more recently through the Internet. This review looks at the evidence for psychological therapies delivered via the Internet for adults with chronic pain. Objectives Our objective was to evaluate whether Internet-delivered psychological therapies improve pain symptoms, reduce disability, and improve depression and anxiety for adults with chronic pain. Secondary outcomes included satisfaction with treatment/treatment acceptability and quality of life. Search methods We searched CENTRAL (Cochrane Library), MEDLINE, EMBASE and PsycINFO from inception to November 2013 for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) investigating psychological therapies delivered via the Internet to adults with a chronic pain condition. Potential RCTs were also identified from reference lists of included studies and relevant review articles. In addition, RCTs were also searched for in trial registries. Selection criteria Peer-reviewed RCTs were identified and read in full for inclusion. We included studies if they used the Internet to deliver the primary therapy, contained sufficient psychotherapeutic content, and promoted self-management of chronic pain. Studies were excluded if the number of participants in any arm of the trial was less than 20 at the point of extraction. Data collection and analysis Fifteen studies met the inclusion criteria and data were extracted. Risk of bias assessments were conducted for all included studies. We categorised studies by condition (headache or non-headache conditions). Four primary outcomes; pain symptoms, disability, depression, and anxiety, and two secondary outcomes; satisfaction/acceptability and quality of life were extracted for each study immediately posttreatment and at follow-up (defined as 3 to 12 months post-treatment). 1 Psychological therapies (Internet-delivered) for the management of chronic pain in adults (Review)
