Objective: This paper emphasizes the necessity of considering multiple perspectives to ensure the high-quality development of supportive health care applications.
Nurse-led education for patients in plain language: Evaluation of a teaching concept for prospective nursing professionals Nurse-led education for patients is a core competency of nurses.

The aim of our project was to develop and evaluate a teaching concept that would gradually enable prospective nursing professionals to independently carry out nurse-led education for people with low literacy.

- The study assessed the impact of statin therapy on all-cause mortality in nursing home residents, both with and without dementia, using data from a German health insurance provider over four years.
- Researchers found that statin users, regardless of dementia status, had a lower risk of dying compared to non-users, with significant results (HR 0.80 for those with dementia and HR 0.73 for those without).
- The findings suggest that continuing statin therapy in nursing home residents with dementia may be beneficial for reducing mortality risk.

- Diagnostic accuracy is crucial for effective medical decision-making, and this study investigates the role of Clinical Decision Support Systems (CDSSs) in enhancing medical students' diagnostic skills and confidence.
- The study involved medical students diagnosing cases of tonsillitis and pulmonary embolism, comparing their performance with CDSSs and traditional methods like textbooks in a controlled trial.
- Results showed no significant difference in diagnostic accuracy between CDSSs and conventional methods, but students were more confident when diagnosing typical cases compared to atypical presentations.
