Experience Counts: Unveiling Patients' Willingness to Pay for Remote Monitoring and Patient Self-Measurement.

Objectives: This study aimed to (1) estimate patients' willingness to pay (WTP) for remote monitoring (RM) and patient self-measurement (PSM) for pregnant women at risk of gestational hypertensive disorders, (2) assess the impact of experience with these technologies on WTP, and (3) determine their impact on health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Methods: Data collection was part of a multicentric randomized controlled trial, Pregnancy Remote Monitoring II, with 2 interventions: RM and PSM. A contingent valuation survey, combining a payment card and open-ended question, was completed twice by 199 participants.

Effectiveness of Telerehabilitation Interventions for Self-management of Tinnitus: Systematic Review.

Background: Tinnitus is a highly prevalent symptom affecting 10%-20% of the adult population. Most patients with tinnitus have chronic tinnitus, which can directly or indirectly disrupt their daily life and negatively affect the health-related quality of life. Therefore, patients with tinnitus are frequently in need of costly and time-consuming treatments.

Cost-effectiveness of a smartphone Application for Tinnitus Treatment (the CATT trial): a study protocol of a randomised controlled trial.

Background: Tinnitus is a highly prevalent symptom, affecting 10-15% of the adult population. Tinnitus influenced by alterations in somatosensory afference from the neck or jaw is referred to as somatic tinnitus (ST). ST is known to respond positively to physiotherapy treatment; however, it is challenging to motivate patients to systematically perform home exercises correctly, and the necessary tinnitus counselling is often lacking.

Examining the acceptance of an integrated Electronic Health Records system: Insights from a repeated cross-sectional design.

Background And Purpose: Hospital staff's acceptance of an integrated Electronic Health Records system (EHR) is a critical success factor to exploit the benefits EHRs can offer. This study employs a repeated cross-sectional design to differentiate between the enablers and barriers of EHR acceptance prior to EHR implementation and those that arise over time by testing a theoretical model specifically tailored to the EHR context.

Methods: A repeated cross-sectional design, consisting of one measurement of staff's acceptance before and two after EHR implementation, was employed in a Belgian hospital.
