Orthopaedic and trauma surgeons’ prioritisation of app quality principles based on their demographic background

Veröffentlicht am 3. Januar 2024
Although apps are becoming increasingly relevant in healthcare, there is limited knowledge about how healthcare professionals perceive “quality” in this context and how quality principles that can aid them in assessing health-related apps may be prioritised. The objective was to investigate physicians’ views of predefined (general) quality principles for health apps and to determine whether a ranking algorithm applied to the acquired data can provide stable results against various demographic influences and may thus be appropriate for prioritisation.[Weiterlesen]

Innovative Heart Mapping through Smart Sensors on the ISS space station

Veröffentlicht am 10. Dezember 2023

On July 20th, International Space Exploration Day, the University of Bielefeld presents a groundbreaking experiment. The aim is to unobtrusively monitor the cardiovascular function of astronauts on the ISS. Smart sensors, sewn into T-shirts, capture minimal movements of the chest caused by the heartbeat, and this information is sent to Earth. Professor Dr. med. Dr. Urs-Vito Albrecht is very satisfied with the promising data. For this purpose, the university cooperates with renowned institutions such as the Technical University of Hamburg and the German Aerospace Centre, Hohenstein Laboratories and the aerospace company DSI Aerospace Technology. This project marks a significant advancement in inconspicuous health monitoring in space, potentially improving the safety and well-being of astronauts on long-term missions.

Innovative Herzvermessung durch smarte Sensorik auf der ISS-Raumstation

Veröffentlicht am 10. Dezember 2023

Am 20. Juli, dem internationalen Tag der Weltraumforschung, stellt die Universität Bielefeld ein wegweisendes Experiment vor. Ziel ist es, die Herz-Kreislauf-Funktion von Astronauten auf der ISS unaufdringlich zu überwachen. Durch smarte Sensoren, die in T-Shirts eingenäht sind und minimale Brustkorb-Bewegungen durch den Herzschlag erfassen, wird diese Information zur Erde gesendet. Professor Dr. med. Dr. Urs-Vito Albrecht zeigt sich mit den vielversprechenden Daten sehr zufrieden. Die Universität kooperiert hierfür mit renommierten Institutionen wie der Technischen Universität Hamburg und dem Deutschen Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, der Firma Hohenstein Laboratories und dem Raumfahrtunternehmen DSI Aerospace Technologie. Dieses Projekt markiert einen bedeutenden Fortschritt in der unauffälligen Gesundheitsüberwachung im Weltraum, wodurch die Sicherheit und das Wohlergehen von Astronauten auf Langzeitmissionen verbessert werden könnten.

Development of Open Backend Structures for Health Care Professionals to Improve Participation in App Developments: Pilot Usability Study of a Medical App

Veröffentlicht am 14. November 2023
Efficient digitization in medicine still is in its infancy but undeniably has great potential for current and future challenges in health care. Thus far, the rollout of medical apps has not resulted in widespread use of smartphones in the German health care sector—the reasons for this have not been clarified so far. Nevertheless, the lack of user involvement in the development process and content creation might contribute to low acceptance of these products.[Weiterlesen]

Medical Apps for Android and iOS: Differences and Similarities

Veröffentlicht am 26. Oktober 2023
Google Play and Apple’s App Store dominate the mobile health app market. We analyzed the metadata and descriptive texts of apps in the medical category using semi-automated retrospective app store analysis (SARASA) and compared the store offerings in terms of their number, descriptive texts, user ratings, medical device status, diseases, and conditions (both keyword-based). Relatively speaking, the store listings for the selected items were comparable.[Weiterlesen]

Evidence of Digital Health Applications from a State-Regulated Repository for Reimbursable Health Applications in Germany

Veröffentlicht am 16. Oktober 2023
17 RCTs for 15 digital health applications (DiGA) permanently listed in the state-regulated register were analyzed descriptively for methodological study aspects relevant to evidence analysis. The analysis revealed that several underlying studies had limitations, at least worthy of discussion, in terms of their power concerning sample size, intervention and control group specifications, drop-out rates, and blinding.
