“…As a particularly promising direction, digital systems may use their data-gathering power and artificial intelligence to recommend novel and attractive options for short-term goals [73]. To address the subtlety and complexity of goal setting in the health domain, the systems need to personalize options based on users' abilities [140] and based on their unique life experiences and personal context [141][142][143][144]. In the future, the difficult task of setting up challenging, motivating, yet realistic goals may indeed be transferred from people to intelligent intervention systems, at least in part.…”

Despite the growing popularity of digital health interventions, limitations of traditional behavior change theories and a lack of theory integration hinder theory-driven behavior change applications. In this paper, we aim to review theories relevant to lifestyle behavior change from the broader psychology literature and then integrate these theories into a new theoretical framework called adaptive decision-making to address two specific problems. First, our framework represents lifestyle behaviors at two levels—one of individual daily decisions (action level) and one of larger behavioral episodes (reflection level)—to more closely match the temporal characteristics of lifestyle behaviors and their associated digital data. Second, the framework connects decision-making theories and learning theories to explain how behaviors and cognitive constructs dynamically influence each other, making it a suitable scaffold for building computational models. We map common digital intervention techniques onto the behavioral and cognitive processes in the framework and discuss possible contributions of the framework to both theory development and digital intervention design.

“…The mean Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score varied from 2.1 to 5.3. The average duration of disease varied from 3 to 21.48 years, but seven studies did not report information about illness duration [17,20,23,24,28,29,31]. Primary Progressive (PPMS), Relapsing Remitting (RRMS), Secondary Progressive (SPMS), and Clinical Isolated Syndrome (CIS) types of MS were included in the studies.…”

“…Five studies did not report the name of the application [17][18][19]28,29]. Most of the applications were created only for Android (n = 8) [17][18][19][20][21]23,24,29] or Apple devices (n = 3) [22,26,27]; three applications can be downloaded from both the Android and iOS e-store [25,28,30]; two studies did not report the e-store available for the application download [16,31]. Only six studies specified in which language the application was available: the most used was English [16,20,[25][26][27]31], followed by Italian, Dutch, German, French, Spanish [25], and other unspecified languages [20].…”

Role of Smartphone Applications in the Assessment and Management of Fatigue in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis: A Scoping Review

Fatigue is a common symptom in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), and its assessment depends entirely on patient reports. Importantly, managing MS symptoms is increasingly supported by Digital Health Technology (DHT), which includes Mobile Health Technology (mHT). Considering the growing interest, we aimed to synthesise evidence about smartphone applications for the assessment and management of fatigue in MS, as well as to investigate their usability, feasibility, and reliability. We performed a literature search in PubMed, Science Direct, and Embase using a scoping review approach. We included 16 articles and, although many lacked crucial methodological details, DHT was evaluated in all MS clinical subtypes and with disease durations up to more than 20 years. Despite the marked heterogeneity in terms of the employed methods, all documented a high degree of usability, assessed both as feedback from participants and completed tasks. Moreover, the feasibility assessment also showed good results, as apps were able to discriminate between patients with and without fatigue. Importantly, most also showed excellent results in terms of reliability, and some patients reported a reduction in fatigue thanks to mHT. Despite limitations, mHT has been positively evaluated by patients, suggesting a promising role of DHT in the self-management of MS.

“…There is a lack of digital and remote technology solutions which are rehabilitee-centered, holistic and reflect the biopsychosocial model of rehabilitation for use in neurological physiotherapy. For example, the main contents of commercial models for MS rehabilitees are still narrowly focused on medical care [19,20], medical aspects of self-care [19,21], physical activity [19,22,23], or self-management [19,24].…”

The goal of this secondary research was to create a model that aims at increasing the sense of meaningful life and human dignity in physiotherapy by utilizing remote and digital rehabilitation technologies, focusing on people with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and multiple sclerosis (MS). The results of this qualitative research effort have been obtained using thematic analyses and inductive synthesis. Our primary research, which provides materials for the secondary analysis, is based on qualitative systematic literature reviews and a meta-synthesis of the perceived meaningfulness of physiotherapy. The outcome of the secondary analysis is a research-based model, which combines rehabilitees´ experiences and expectations towards physiotherapy, professionals’ competence needs, and the technological prerequisites for using digital rehabilitation technologies with CVA and MS rehabilitees. Maintenance of human dignity and promotion of the sense of meaningful life, and various issues related to them, were most meaningful for the rehabilitees. The essential prerequisites of meaningful use of re- mote and digital rehabilitation technologies in physiotherapy were enabling identification of the rehabilitees’ own current functioning, needs and goals, supporting their motivation and commitment, choosing relevant and meaningful activities, creating safe and variable environments, and enabling social interaction and relationships. As far as we know, this is the first model which combines neuro- logical rehabilitees’ experiences of physiotherapy with remote and digital technology’s potential. In the future, the usefulness of our novel research-based holistic and biopsychosocial physiotherapy model should be tested in real life situations.
