Smartphone addiction has increased in recent years, especially with the onset of COVID-19 among students. It is possible that as the level of eHealth literacy increases among students, their addiction to smartphones decreases. This study aims to investigate this hypothesis.

This cross-sectional study was conducted on 390 medical sciences students. Two standard questionnaires were used to gather data. The first questionnaire was the Smartphone Addiction Inventory Scale, and the second questionnaire was the eHealth Literacy Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and analytic statistics.

There was no significant relationship between the gender of the participants and the mean scores of smartphone addiction or eHealth literacy. However, the relationship between the age of the participants and the mean scores of smartphone addiction or eHealth literacy was significant. Only the relationship between the educational level of the participants and the mean scores of smartphone addiction was significant. The correlation between smartphone addiction and eHealth literacy in students was not significant.

Age and educational level were significant factors influencing smartphone addiction. To decrease smartphone addiction and increase eHealth literacy, educational programs should be implemented for medical science students, who play a crucial role as future guardians of health.

Sensory disabilities, including hearing or speech and vision loss, are thesecond biggest contributor to rehabilitation needs in terms of the number of affected people.Therefore, the aim of this systematic review of randomized clinical trial was to investigate theeffect of telerehabilitation on people with sensory disabilities, including hearing, speech andvisual impairments.

A systematic review was conducted in a randomized controlled trial (RCT), pilot,and protocols for RCT studies without time limit by searching for keywords in the title,abstract and study keywords in valid scientific databases Embase, Web of Science, Scopus,and PubMed on October 23, 2021. We followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items forSystematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) guidelines.

In total, 1080 documents were initially retrieved through scientific databasesearching. Finally, 8 eligible studies were found through this review. The quality assessmentresults showed that there was no significant bias in the studies and all quality studies wereincluded. The sample sizes in the studies ranged from 21 to 203 participants. Follow-upperiods ranged from 6 weeks to 12 months. Of the 8 included studies, 4 were experimentaland did not provide definitive results. However, in 4 studies, patients reported improvementsin hearing, speech, mental status, quality of life, and self-care skills.

The results of the present systematic review revealed that using telerehabilitationimproves the provision of rehabilitation services in patients with sensory disabilities (hearing,speech, and visual impairment). Hence, telerehabilitation is a safe, effective, and feasible toolfor providing telerehabilitation services.

Considering the increased prevalence of asthma and its consequences for individuals and society, its effective management and close monitoring is essential. Awareness of the effects of telemedicine can improve asthma management. The present study aimed to systematically review articles examining the effect of telemedicine on the management of asthma, including control of the symptom, patients’ quality of life, costs, and adherence to treatment programs.

A systematic search was performed on four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, and Scopus. English language clinical trials investigating the effectiveness of telemedicine in asthma management published from 2005 to 2018 were selected and retrieved. The present study was designed and conducted based on the PRISMA guidelines.

Out of 33 articles included in this research, telemedicine was employed by 23 studies for the promotion of patient adherence to treatment in the form of reminders and feedback, by 18 for telemonitoring and communicating with healthcare providers, by six for offering remote patient education, and by five for counseling. The most frequently used telemedicine approach was asynchronous (used in 21 articles), and the most commonly utilized tool was Web-based (utilized in 11 articles).

Telemedicine can improve symptom control, patients’ quality of life, and adherence to treatment programs. However, little evidence exists confirming the effectiveness of telemedicine in decreasing costs.

Understanding the various strategies used in the Covid-19 pandemic and its consequences can help to benefit better and more effectively in the future and identify its potential challenges and more effective and efficient solutions to deal with the epidemic. Put such things in front of policymakers in the health system. In this study, we intend to do a systematic review of the types of eHealth strategies used in the Povem Covid-19, the implications and weaknesses, and related challenges.

The present study is a scoping review. Keywords have been selected based on MESH and review of related texts in two main dimensions (Covid-19 disease and eHealth. In this study, valid scientific data sources including:PubMed / Medline, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, searched.

Of the 5,105 search results from databases and other sources, 3,683 records remained after the duplicate results were removed. We reviewed the remaining studies by title and abstract and identified 71 articles for further review of the full text. 21 studies had inclusion criteria. These studies focus on a variety of eHealth strategies, including electronic health record templates, robotic clinical care, virtual intensive care unit, cloud-based system for effective Covid-19 monitoring and control, mobile decision support system, COVID-19 self-assessment tool Web-based, ICU monitoring technology, call tracking, Internet hospitals, identification, screening and diagnosis of patients with Covid-19, and spatial and temporal reporting via network and GPS were centralized.

Such strategies have been successful in controlling hospital infections, reducing the relationship between treatment staff and patients, more accurate and faster diagnosis, providing services to a wide range of patients and providing quality services. However, taking advantage of such strategies in Pendmi Covid-19 has faced challenges such as resource constraints, legal barriers, and privacy. Collaborating with governments and local health forces with the public can greatly facilitate the benefit of eHealth strategies in a pandemic

Pregnant women are at higher risk of severe COVID-19 than the general population. Furthermore, COVID-19 increases the preterm and cesarean rates due to maternal and fetal complications. Owing to the adverse effects of the COVID-19 on pregnant women, in-person prenatal visits face challenges. Thus, alternative solutions that reduce the number of visits while preserving maternal and fetal care quality should be considered. Digital health is one of the potential solutions. Obstetricians and gynecologists, and other clinical experts should cooperate to define digital tools’ requirements and standards for prenatal care. Moreover, governments and healthcare insurances should facilitate the coverage of provided services’ costs by digital health tools, especially in developing countries.

Unlike the large body of research that has examined the ‘success’ or ‘failure’ of eHealth in terms of patient and provider perceptions or cost- and clinical effectiveness, the current study teases out ways through which a novel eHealth initiative in rural northern Sweden might result in more distal or systemic beneficial outcomes. More specifically, this paper aims to explore how and under what circumstances the so-called virtual health rooms (VHRs) are expected to improve access to person-centred care and strengthen community health systems, especially for elderly residents of rural areas.

The first phase of the realist evaluation methodology was conducted, involving qualitative interviews with 8 key stakeholders working with eHealth, business development, digitalisation, and process management. Using thematic analysis and following an abductive-retroductive analytical process, an intervention-context-actor-mechanism-outcome (ICAMO) configuration was developed and elicited into an initial programme theory.

The findings indicate that a novel eHealth initiative, which provides reliable technologies in a customized facility that connects communities and providers, might improve access to person-centred care and strengthen community health systems for rural populations. This is theorized to occur if mechanisms acting at individual (such as knowledge, skills and trust) and collective (like a common vision and shared responsibilities) levels are triggered in contexts characterised by supportive societal transitions, sufficient organisational readiness and the harnessing of rural cohesiveness and creativity.

The elicited initial programme theory describes and explains how a novel eHealth initiative in rural northern Sweden is presumed to operate and under what circumstances. Further testing, refinements and continued gradual building of theory following the realist evaluation methodology is now needed to ascertain if the ‘VHRs’ work as intended, for whom, in what conditions and why.

eHealth has a notable potential to help in prevention, diagnosis, treatment, screening, management, and control of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since ehealth is considered here broadly, as an umbrella term, it also covers subsets like telehealth and mhealth. This study aimed to review the literature to identify and classify subdomains of eHealth solutions that have been utilized, developed, or suggested for the COVID-19 pandemic.

A comprehensive literature search was performed using the PubMed, Scopus, Embase, and Cochrane library databases in April 2020, with no time limitation. The search strategy was built based on 2 concept domains of eHealth solutions and covid-19. For each concept domain, the search query comprised a combination of free text keywords identified from reference papers and controlled vocabulary terms. Obtained results were classified, graphically presented, and discussed.

Of the 423 studies identified initially, 35 were included in this study. From related papers, general characteristics, study objective, eHealth-related outcomes, target populations, eHealth interventions, health service category, eHealth solution, and eHealth domain were extracted, classified, and tabulated. Most publication types were ideas, editorials, or opinions (46%). The most targeted populations were people of the community and medical staff (80%). The most implemented or suggested eHealth solution was telehealth (63%), followed by mhealth, health information technology, and health data analytics. Most of the COVID-19 ehealth interventions designed or suggested for improving prevention (48%) and diagnosis (48%). Most of the studies applied or proposed eHealth solutions for general practice or epidemiological purposes (48%).

eHealth solutions have the potential to provide useful services to help in COVID-19 pandemics in terms of prevention, diagnosis, treatment, screening, surveillance, resource allocation, education, management, and control. The obtained results from this review might be used for a better understanding of current ehealth solutions provided or recommended in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
