Background: Migrant women who are pregnant or postpartum and their infants are often at increased risk of poorer perinatal outcomes compared to host country populations. This review aimed to identify public health, policy, and clinical interventions to improve maternity care for migrant women and their infants in high-income countries (HICs).

Methods: In this systematic review we searched EMBASE, EMCARE, MEDLINE and PsycINFO, CENTRAL, Scopus, CINAHL Plus, Web of Science, and grey literature from inception to 13th March 2024, with no language or date restrictions (PROSPERO: CRD42022380678).

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores the implementation of a digital health intervention (DHI) designed for supporting self-management among long COVID patients, involving a patient app and a clinician dashboard.
  • Using qualitative analysis and Normalisation Process Theory, researchers found that the DHI was adaptable to various healthcare settings, enhancing collaboration among healthcare professionals while acknowledging the necessity for in-person care.
  • The findings suggest that DHIs can potentially transform traditional healthcare engagement patterns, emphasizing the importance of organizational context and individual experiences in successful implementation.

Objectives: This study explores the influence of clinic-led onboarding and interaction processes on patient engagement within a digital health program for long COVID care, the Living with COVID Recovery (LWCR) program. We compared clinical practices and patient engagement levels across seven clinics utilising LWCR, gaining insights that could optimise digital health interventions (DHIs) for long COVID care.

Methods: Using a mixed-methods approach, we conducted qualitative interviews with clinicians from seven clinics (out of thirty five) to understand their onboarding and interaction strategies for the LWCR program.
