“…Mobile phones are important for remote communications and effective management of the SARS-CoV-2 outbreak. 21 Zamberg et al undergo utilization-focused evaluation of a m-health platform used by medical staff, particularly physicians of the children's hospital at the University of Geneva, Switzerland. The platform was used to distribute locally approved and the latest information about the SARS-CoV-2.…”

Background: Many e-health services were launched after countries relaxed their telehealth regulations to combat the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. e-Health technologies that support person-centered health care are crucial for the patient's needs. In this systematic review, we examined how e-health applications are used to support person-centered health care at the time of COVID-19. Methodology: Literature was systematically searched without language restriction and publication status between January 1 and May 25, 2020, to describe e-health's support on the person-centered health care to control the COVID-19 pandemic. PubMed, ScienceDirect, and CINAHL, MedRxiv, and Web of Science were used. Two researchers independently assessed the eligibility of each retrieved record. All included studies were subsequently rescreened by the researchers. The systematic review was conducted in accordance with preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses guidelines. Results: We identified 60 articles and selected 8 studies that met the inclusion criteria. Most of the studies used e-health technologies to facilitate clinical decision support and team care. Patient's engagement and access to health care from their homes were enhanced using telehealth and mobile health. Electronic health records were used to avail reliable data to health care providers and health authorities to make evidence-based decisions. Conclusion: Although there are limited studies to evaluate the effectiveness of e-health technologies for person-centered health care, the reviewed studies indicated e-health's potentials to improve the quality of health care and personalized health systems during COVID-19 pandemic. Further research should be done to better understand applications of e-health to improve the quality of health care and patients' outcomes and evaluate its cost-effectiveness.

“…Therefore, they agree that the diabetes prevention program offered by MyDiPP mobile app will be beneficial to them. In short, an individual's likelihood of adopting mobile health apps increases as he or she gains access to the benefits of these apps (Yee et al, 2019). When people view apps as beneficial to their health care outcomes, favorable attitudes toward the app development, which result in a favorable behavioral intention to use the app (Deng et al, 2012).…”

“…Any technology is considered useful if people can employ it easily or if the system works without any effort (Ghalandari, 2012). Therefore, regardless of the usefulness given by the mobile health apps, people's interest in using them will decrease when the app is too complex to use, or when the efforts dedicated to its use outweigh the value of using it (Yee et al, 2019). This might explain why 10% of respondents disagree that the use of the MyDiPP mobile app is effortless, can be used without written instruction, can recover from mistakes easily and quickly, and can use it successfully every time.…”

Malaysia is confronting a type 2 diabetes (T2DM) epidemic; around 3.9 million Malaysians have T2DM. Lifestyle modification intervention is effective in reducing or delaying the onset of T2DM among high-risk individuals. The Malaysia Diabetes Prevention Programme (MyDiPP) app is a lifestyle intervention digital therapy with multiple approaches (weight loss, dietary modification, physical activity, and quality of life). This study aimed to assess the usability of the MyDiPP mobile app among high-risk individuals in Kuala Terengganu. A random sample of 10 users was selected in the usability evaluation of the MyDiPP mobile app. Data collection methods included an online survey on the usability aspect of mobile apps in terms of usefulness, ease of use, satisfaction, and ease of learning. The results showed that MyDiPP mobile app is useful, easy to use, satisfying, and easy to learn from the high-risk adults’ perspectives with slightly agree, moderately agree, and strongly agree to have the highest percentage. From these results, it can be inferred that, from the perspective of high-risk individuals, MyDiPP mobile app meets the usability aspects and can be used to help prevent the development of diabetes among at-risk adults.

“…Previous studies also suggest that perceived benefit is a consistent predictor of health-related behavior, while perceived susceptibility and severity often failed to explain health-related behavior [37][38][39]. Additionally, previous studies using the technology acceptance model also showed that the perceived usefulness of using apps is a positive predictor of the intention to use the apps [40][41][42]. In other words, believing that using cognitive training apps can improve cognitive function is an important factor in predicting the intention to use the apps.…”

Background The prevalence and economic burden of dementia are increasing dramatically. Using information communication technology to improve cognitive functions is proven to be effective and holds the potential to serve as a new and efficient method for the prevention of dementia. Objective The aim of this study was to identify factors associated with the experience of mobile apps for cognitive training in middle-aged adults. We evaluated the relationships between the experience of cognitive training apps and structural variables using an extended health belief model. Methods An online survey was conducted on South Korean participants aged 40 to 64 years (N=320). General characteristics and dementia knowledge were measured along with the health belief model constructs. Statistical analysis and logistic regression analysis were performed. Results Higher dementia knowledge (odds ratio [OR] 1.164, P=.02), higher perceived benefit (OR 1.373, P<.001), female gender (OR 0.499, P=.04), and family history of dementia (OR 1.933, P=.04) were significantly associated with the experience of cognitive training apps for the prevention of dementia. Conclusions This study may serve as a theoretical basis for the development of intervention strategies to increase the use of cognitive training apps for the prevention of dementia.
