A secure telemonitoring system was developed to transform CosmoBot system, a stand-alone speech-language therapy software, into a telerehabilitation system. The CosmoBot system is a motivating, computer-based play character designed to enhance children's communication skills and stimulate verbal interaction during the remediation of speech and language disorders. The CosmoBot system consists of the Mission Control human interface device and Cosmo's Play and Learn software featuring a robot character named Cosmo that targets educational goals for children aged 3-5 years. The secure telemonitoring infrastructure links a distant speech-language therapist and child/parents at home or school settings. The result is a telerehabilitation system that allows a speech-language therapist to monitor children's activities at home while providing feedback and therapy materials remotely. We have developed the means for telerehabilitation of communication skills that can be implemented in children's home settings. The architecture allows the therapist to remotely monitor the children after completion of the therapy session and to provide feedback for the following session.

Enhancing Surgical Wound Monitoring: A Paired Cohort Study Evaluating a New AI-Based Application for Automatic Detection of Potential Infections.
J Clin Med

General & Digestive Surgery Service, Hospital Universitario La Paz, 28046 Madrid, Spain.
This study assessed the feasibility and security of remote surgical wound monitoring using the RedScar© smartphone app, which employs automated diagnosis for early visual detection of infections without direct healthcare personnel involvement. Additionally, patient satisfaction with telematic care was evaluated as a secondary aim. Surgical site infection (SSI) is the second leading cause of healthcare-associated infections (HAIs), leading to prolonged hospital stays, heightened patient distress, and increased healthcare costs.

Background: Blood pressure (BP) control following stroke is important but currently sub-optimal. This trial aimed to determine whether self-monitoring of hypertension with telemonitoring and a treatment escalation protocol, results in lower BP than usual care in people with previous stroke or transient ischaemic attack (TIA).
Methods: Unblinded randomised controlled trial, comparing a BP telemonitoring-based intervention with control (usual care) for hypertension management in 12 primary care practices in England.
Implementation of an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in telemonitoring: A multimethod study of patients' and clinicians' experiences.

Department of Health Science and Technology, Aalborg University, Gistrup, Denmark.
Background: Prediction algorithms may improve the ability of telehealth solutions to assess the risk of future exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Learning from patients' and clinicians' evaluations and experiences about the use of such algorithms is essential to evaluate its potential and examine factors that could potentially influence the implementation and sustained use.
Objective: To investigate the patients' and clinicians' perceptions and satisfaction with an algorithm for predicting exacerbations in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Designing a Nurse-Led eHealth Cardiac Rehabilitation Program: Insights From Participant Experiences and Qualitative Feedback.

Department of Rehabilitation, University Hospital Brno and Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic.
Article Synopsis
- * Through interviews with 18 participants, the results indicated that while the program helped fill gaps in cardiac care in China and motivated behavioral changes, there were concerns about the website's usability, exercise symptom management, and privacy in the chatroom.
- * The study emphasizes the need for patient-centered eHealth services, recommending improvements in website design, symptom management systems, and privacy measures to strengthen participant engagement.
Integrating telemedicine in routine heart failure management: Experiences of healthcare professionals - A qualitative study.

Article Synopsis
- * Four key themes emerged: unclear responsibilities among stakeholders, concerns about safety and patient security, the importance of involving users in the development and adoption processes, and the idea that telemedicine complements traditional care rather than replaces it.
- * While telemedicine shows promise for heart failure management, its limited adoption is tied to existing care systems; enhancing collaboration and establishing clear roles could improve confidence and effectiveness in using telemedicine.
