“…ICTs such as mHealth, telemedicine, and telehealth are used to facilitate RPM [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Additionally, mobile applications, wearable, and non-wearable sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI), IoMT, and BLE-enabled home health monitoring devices offer patients the ability to record, track, govern, analyze, and view their automatically recorded and self-reported data [7,8].…”

Background: e-Health has played a crucial role during the COVID-19 pandemic in primary health care. e-Health is the cost-effective and secure use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to support health and health-related fields. As a result of ICTs, the healthcare sector is undergoing a new revolution and societal governance is becoming more sustainable. As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, information, and communication technology (ICT) has improved the quality of healthcare and the exchange of information, trained healthcare professionals and patients, and facilitated the relationship between patients and their healthcare providers. Various stakeholders worldwide use ICTs, including individuals, non-profit organizations, health practitioners, and governments. This study systematically reviews the literature on ICT-based automatic and remote monitoring methods and different ICT techniques used in the care of COVID-19-infected patients. Objective: The purpose of this systematic review is to identify the e-Health methods, associated information and communication technologies, implementation strategies, information collection techniques, advantages, and disadvantages of remote and automatic patient monitoring and care in COVID-19. Methods: The search included primary studies that were published between January 2020 and June 2022 in scientific and electronic databases, such as EBSCOhost, Scopus, ACM, Nature, SpringerLink, IEEE Xplore, MEDLINE, Google Scholar, JMIR, Web of Science, and PubMed. In this review, the findings from the included publications are presented and elaborated according to the research questions identified. Evidence-based systematic reviews and meta-analyses were conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework. Additionally, we improved the review process using the Rayyan tool and the Scale for the Assessment of Narrative Review Articles (SANRA). Among the eligibility criteria were methodological rigor, conceptual clarity, and useful implementation of ICTs in e-Health for remote and automatic monitoring of COVID-19 patients. Results: Our initial search identified 664 potential studies; 102 were assessed for eligibility in the pre-final stage and 65 articles were used in the final review with inclusion and exclusion criteria. The review identified the following eHealth methods-Telemedicine, Mobile Health (mHealth), and Telehealth. The associated ICTs are Wearable Body Sensors, Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms, Internet-of-Things, or Internet-of-Medical-Things (IoT or IoMT), Biometric Monitoring Technologies (BioMeTs), and Bluetooth-enabled (BLE) home health monitoring devices. Spatial or positional data, personal and individual health, and wellness data, including vital signs, symptoms, biomedical images and signals, and lifestyle data are examples of information that is managed by ICTs. Different AI and IoT methods have opened new possibilities for automatic and remote patient monitoring with associated advantages and weaknesses. Our findings were represented in a structured manner using an ontology model. Conclusions: Various e-Health methods, associated remote monitoring technologies, approaches, information types, adoption of ICT tools for automatic remote patient monitoring (RPM), advantages and limitations of RMTs in the COVID-19 case are discussed in this systematic literature review. The use of e-Health during the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the constraints and possibilities of using ICT. ICTs are not merely an external tool to achieve definite remote and automatic health monitoring goals; instead, they are embedded in contexts. Therefore, the importance of the mutual design process between ICT and society during the global health crisis has been observed from a social informatics perspective. A global health crisis can be observed as an information crisis (e.g., insufficient information, unreliable information, and inaccessible information); however, this review shows the influence of ICTs on COVID-19 patients' health monitoring and related information collection techniques.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to determine the effect of information and communications technology (ICT) on the provision of social services, as well as the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services for 31 low-income countries. Design/methodology/approach This study is based on panel data from World Development Indicators and Worldwide Governance Indicators spanning 1996 to 2020 for 31 low-income countries. To analyze the data, the study uses cross-sectional dependence tests, slope heterogeneity tests, panel unit root tests, panel cointegration tests and cross-sectionally augmented autoregressive distributed lag (CS-ARDL) analysis. Findings The results overwhelmingly show that ICT has a significant positive effect on the provision of social services in both the short- and long-run. Also, the study reveals that institutional quality has a significant positive impact on the provision of social services in the short- and long-run. The results further provide empirical evidence of the positive and significant moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services. Practical implications This study points out the significant potential of identifying appropriate scales of ICT infrastructure and institutional quality needed to support the various governments in low-income countries to improve social services delivery mechanisms and outreach efficacy and impact. The study can be invaluable for ICT innovators and policymakers in promoting the provision of social services. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this study represents the first attempt to determine the effect of ICT on the provision of social services, as well as the moderating effect of institutional quality on the relationship between ICT and the provision of social services, especially for low-income countries using CS-ARDL.

“…Due to the outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic at the end of 2019 and its massive spread all over the world at the beginning of 2020, Indonesian government has issued some regulations. Social distancing, wearing mask, washing hands, and avoiding crowd are some of the regulations taken following the virus spread (Dewanti et al, 2021;Suryaman et al, 2020;Yang et al, 2020). These regulations were meant to limit the spread of the virus to the society.…”

Since Covid-19 Pandemic outbreak all schools and universities in Indonesia were closed and teaching-learning activities were shifted to online learning mode. Learning from home trend started to dominate classroom instruction in all level of education. In university, this phenomenon certainly affected lecturers and students’ enthusiasm in teaching-learning activities since they need to make necessary adaptations in many aspects including the use of technology to support learning. Online learning requires technology to apply the digital tools or media. This study was aimed at finding out the barriers that lecturers and students faced in integrating the technology in teaching during the midst of Covid-19 Pandemic disruption. This study used qualitative research method in a case study design. The data were collected using observation and interview with the participants in one of public university. The participants of this study were EFL lecturers and students of one public university. Two EFL lecturers and ten students from two different classes took part as participants of the study. The data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The findings of the study showed that there were two barriers faced by the lecturers and students in integrating the technology in online learning such as extrinsic barriers and intrinsic barriers. In extrinsic barriers there was resources barrier and in intrinsic barriers there were improve the students’ knowledge and skills in online learning barrier, the barrier to control the student’s attitude while online learning and the assessment barrier in integration the technology.
