Patient Engagement in a Hybrid Care Pathway for Hypertension: Not One Size Fits All.

We evaluated current experiences and future needs for the long-term engagement of patients in a hypertension hybrid care pathway (Maasstad Hospital, NL). Patients >18 y/o with ≥3 months care pathway participation were recruited by telephone and divided into three age/focus groups with distinct digital skills and attitudes toward lifestyle interventions (group 1:18-40 y/o, group 2:40-65 y/o, group 3:>65 y/o). We used deductive thematic content analysis to cluster the results to the different digital elements (remote monitoring, communication, digital lifestyle intervention) of the care pathway.

Linguistic law-like compression strategies emerge to maximize coding efficiency in marmoset vocal communication.

Human language follows statistical regularities or linguistic laws. For instance, Zipf's law of brevity states that the more frequently a word is used, the shorter it tends to be. All human languages adhere to this word structure.

The facilitators and barriers of mHealth adoption and use among people with a low socio-economic position: A scoping review.

Background: Despite the fact that 95% of the global population has a mobile phone, the adoption of mHealth lags among people with a low socio-economic position (SEP). As they face health risks and many barriers in the traditional offline healthcare system, mHealth has an important role. Therefore, it is important to understand the factors that promote and impede mHealth adoption among people with a lower SEP.

The Adoption of a COVID-19 Contact-Tracing App: Cluster Analysis.

Background: During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was limited adoption of contact-tracing apps (CTAs). Adoption was particularly low among vulnerable people (eg, people with a low socioeconomic position or of older age), while this part of the population tends to have lesser access to information and communication technology and is more vulnerable to the COVID-19 virus.

Objective: This study aims to understand the cause of this lagged adoption of CTAs in order to facilitate adoption and find indications to make public health apps more accessible and reduce health disparities.

Interrater reliability in the assessment of physiotherapy students.

Background: Reliable and objective assessment of psychomotor skills in physiotherapy students' education is essential for direct feedback and skill improvement. The aim of this study is to determine the interrater reliability in the assessment process of physiotherapy students and to analyse the assessment behaviour of the examiners.

Methods: Physiotherapy teachers from two different schools assessed students from two different schools performing proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation (PNF) patterns.
