Article Synopsis
  • Peritoneal dialysis (PD) is an effective home treatment for end-stage kidney disease (ESKD), known for improving quality of life, offering more independence, and being cost-effective compared to in-center hemodialysis, yet its global adoption is low and inconsistent.
  • This systematic review aims to analyze qualitative studies to identify factors that affect the adoption of PD, focusing on the experiences of patients, caregivers, and healthcare providers.
  • A thorough search of databases will be conducted to gather relevant qualitative research, which will then be assessed for quality and synthesized to highlight barriers and facilitators to PD adoption.

To improve medication adherence, we co-developed a digital, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven nudge intervention with stakeholders (patients, providers, and technologists). We used a human-centred design approach to incorporate user needs in creating an AI-driven nudge tool. We report the findings of the first stage of a multi-phase project: understanding user needs and ideating solutions.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study examines the potential of AI-supported physical rehabilitation technology to improve availability, clinical effects, and implementation barriers, addressing the growing need for rehabilitation as physical disabilities increase with age.
  • - A systematic review identified 9054 articles, ultimately including 28 projects that spanned various AI solutions, such as app-based systems and robotic devices, but found inconsistent clinical outcomes from the five randomized controlled trials (RCTs) analyzed.
  • - While AI in rehabilitation shows promise, challenges such as technology literacy and user fatigue hinder implementation, necessitating more rigorous clinical evaluations and real-world assessments to enhance its effectiveness.

Background: Conventional quantitative or qualitative methodologies may not encompass the wide array of experiences of individuals living with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). We used a novel approach - photovoice-to understand the impact of COPD on activities of daily living (ADLs) in a multicultural Asian country.

Methods: We recruited a purposive sample of eight patients from the outpatient clinics of the National University Health System, Singapore, between December 2020 and August 2021.

Background: Patients with chronic diseases have seen unprecedented changes to healthcare practices since the emergence of COVID-19. Traditional 'on-site' clinics have had to innovate to continue services. Whether these changes are acceptable to patients and are effective for care continuation are largely unreported.

Background And Objectives: There is a growing interest to involve older adults in the co-design of technology to maintain their well-being and independence. What remains unknown is whether the beneficial effects of co-designed solutions are greater than those reported for non co-designed solutions. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects and experiences of co-designed technology that support older adults to age in place.
