“…An important policy priority is to use eHealth services to help patients with chronic diseases, especially those in areas lacking health care resources, to closely monitor their conditions. [4][5][6]33 Hence, it is concerning that the growth rate in use of eHealth services is slower among immigrants than among US natives. If this trend persists, disparities in self-management of chronic diseases and associated clinical outcomes will widen.…”

“…(2) auxiliary procedures done through e-health for necessary check-ups recommended in hospital by obstetricians, such as making appointments and consulting examination reports; and (3) interventions of some maternal medical conditions performed through e-health, including gestational diabetes mellitus and hypertension disorders, which had been fully applied in non-pregnant people. 31 We hold that the full application of e-health and prenatal care is highly recommended to be included in the contingency ANC plan during PHEs, which will be beneficial for pregnant women and will mitigate the risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes.…”

ObjectivesThis study described the needs of pregnant women and the contents of online obstetric consultation in representative areas with various severity of the epidemic in China.DesignThis was a cross- sectional study.SettingYue Yi Tong (YYT), a free online communication platform that allows pregnant women to consult professional obstetricians.ParticipantsAll the pregnant women who used the YYT platform.InterventionFrom 10 to 23 February, we collected data on online obstetric consultations and participants’ satisfaction through the YYT platform in the mild, moderate and severe epidemic areas which were defined according to the local confirmed cases. The primary outcomes were the reasons for online consultations by the severity of the epidemic. All the comparisons were performed using χ2 test. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS V.24.ResultsA total of 2599 pregnant women participated in this study, of whom 448 (17.24%), 1332 (51.25%) and 819 (31.51%) were from the mild, moderate and severe epidemic areas, respectively. The distribution of the amount of online consultations was significantly different not only in different areas (p<0.001) but also in different trimesters (p<0.001). A total of 957 participants completed the satisfaction part of the survey. In this study, 77.95% of the participants used e-health for the first time, and 94.63% of the participants were completely or mostly satisfied with the online consultations.ConclusionsThe distribution of the amount of online consultations was significantly different not only in different areas but also in different trimesters. In any trimester, the amount of consultations on the second category (obstetric care-seeking behaviour) was the highest in the severe epidemic areas. The needs for online consultations were substantial. In order to prevent irreversible obstetric adverse events, an appropriate antenatal care contingency plan with e-health services is highly recommended during the Public Health Emergency of International Concern.

“…Over that five-year period, mHealth usage increased by nearly 4%. 4 In line with this, data from the Pew Center reported an increase in smartphone usage from 83% to 92% of Americans over that same time period. 5 Despite this increased adoption of mobile technology, US patients with chronic diseases have lower rates of overall internet access compared to their healthy peers, even when demographic factors are controlled (62% vs 81%, respectively); even lower rates are specifically seen in patients with diabetes (50%).…”

Mobile health (mHealth) is an emerging branch of medicine that utilizes technology to impact health care. With increasing access to smartphones and mobile devices, there has been an increase in both the availability and use of mHealth resources, including the use of text messages, apps, and web portals. In diabetes, there is particular interest as technology has long been a mainstay of management through glucometers, insulin pumps and continuous glucose monitors, which are increasingly interconnected. Although there is high demand for mHealth interventions in diabetes, there is no clear consensus on the best way to monitor these interventions. While randomized controlled trials are considered the gold standard for most medical research, we propose that alternative trial designs may be more applicable in the ever-changing mHealth landscape.
