Feasibility of implementing immersive and non-interactive virtual reality interventions in elderly populations: A scoping review.

Introduction: The rapid growth of the elderly population underscores the need for affordable and easy-to-implement elderly care interventions. While virtual reality (VR) interventions show promising results, the feasibility of implementing non-interactive VR in elderly populations is under-researched.

Objectives: This scoping review investigates preconceptions, practical and economic barriers, and health and safety risks associated with implementing non-interactive VR interventions in elderly populations.

'Hybrid' top down bottom up health system innovation in rural China: A qualitative analysis.

Introduction: China has made considerable progress with health system reforms in recent years. Rural China, however, has lagged behind as the diversity of needs of China's 3,000 rural counties were not always well addressed by national top-down reforms. China's Rural Health Reform Project Health XI (HXI) piloted a hybrid process of top down and bottom up implementation of health system reforms which were tailored to rural county level needs and covered a population of more than 21 million.

Creating a Learning Televillage and Automated Digital Child Health Ecosystem.

This article explores the impact of digital technologies, including telehealth, teleconsultations, wireless devices, and chatbots, in pediatrics. Automated digital health with the Internet of things will allow better collection of real-world data for generation of real-world evidence to improve child health. Artificial intelligence with predictive analytics in turn will drive evidence-based decision-support systems and deliver personalized care to children.
