Public value and digital health: The example of guiding values in the national digital health strategy of France.

Introduction: In the WHO European Region, 44 of 53 reporting Member States (MS) have a national digital health strategy (NDHS) or policy. Their formulation is heterogenous and evolving and should best reflect public common interest. This research aims to explore how a public value approach improves the relevance of digital health policies and services, increasing their capacity to better serve the diverse range of societal interests.

[This corrects the article DOI: 10.2196/45920.].

An individualised mobile app was beneficial for the mothers of infants with severe congenital heart defects.

Aim: This national study focused on the individualised Heart Observation (HOBS) mobile phone app, which helps the parents of infants with severe congenital heart disease (CHD) with discharge preparations and decision making at home.

Methods: We enrolled two groups of parents from 2021 to 2023, during their child's initial hospitalisation at Oslo University Hospital, Norway. Measurements were carried out at baseline and one and four months after discharge.

Investigating the Norwegian eHealth Governance Model: Document Study.

Background: Governments and policy makers struggle to achieve a balance between hierarchical steering and horizontal governance in systems characterized by fragmented decision authority and multiple interests. To realize its One Citizen-One Journal eHealth policy vision, the Norwegian government established a special eHealth board of stakeholders to create an inclusive governance model that aligned stakeholders' interests with the government's ambitions through coordination and consensus. Little empirical knowledge exists on how countries realize inclusive governance models.

Longitudinal Fecal Microbiota Profiles in A Cohort of Non-Hospitalized Adolescents and Young Adults with COVID-19: Associations with SARS-CoV-2 Status and Long-Term Fatigue.

Adolescents most often experience mild acute COVID-19, but may still face fatigue and persistent symptoms such as post-COVID-19 condition (PCC) and post-infective fatigue syndrome (PIFS). We explored the fecal microbiota of SARS-CoV-2 positive and negative non-hospitalized adolescents and young adults (12-25 years of age) in the "Long-Term Effects of COVID-19 in Adolescents" (LoTECA) project, a longitudinal observational cohort study. With a targeted qPCR approach, the quantities of 100 fecal bacterial taxa were measured at baseline (early convalescent stage) in 145 SARS-CoV-2-positive and 32 SARS-CoV-2 negative participants and after six months in 107 of the SARS-CoV-2-positive and 19 of the SARS-CoV-2 negative participants.
