Evaluating IoT-Based Services to Support Patient Empowerment in Digital Home Hospitalization Services.

Hospitals need to optimize patient care, as, among other factors, life expectancy has increased due to improvements in sanitation, nutrition, and medicines. Hospitalization-at-home (HaH) could increase admission efficiency, moderate costs, and reduce the demand for beds. This study aimed to provide data on the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of the integration of IoT-based technology to support the remote monitoring and follow-up of patients admitted to HaH units, as well as the acceptability of IoT-based solutions in healthcare processes.

Data analytics for predicting quality of life changes in head and neck cancer survivors: a scoping review.

Head and neck cancer is the seventh most common cancer worldwide. The incidence of this cancer is increasing, but at the same time, the cancer-related mortality rate has decreased over time, leaving more head and neck cancer survivors. More emphasis is needed on quality-of-life research in the head and neck cancer field to improve their daily lives and reduce the disease and treatment response burden.

Definition and development of a digital system for the empowerment and activation of type 1 diabetic patient.

Health education is essential for type 1 diabetic patients to actively participate in the decision-making process about their disease. Under the framework of the INCAP project, a mobile application has been designed and developed with an easy-to-use interface for type 1 diabetic patients to improve their empowerment, activation and thus their self-control and improvement of their treatment adherence.
