Article Abstract
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common respiratory disorder, and the assessment of inhalation therapy adherence is an important component of management in COPD patients. The emergence of e-Health tools provides new prospects for the assessment of inhalation therapy adherence. However, there is no comprehensive summary of the application of e-Health tools in assessing inhalation therapy adherence in COPD patients.
Objectives: This review aims to clarify the current state, effects, benefits, and limitations of using e-Health tools in assessing inhalation therapy adherence in COPD patients and provide future directions and recommendations for development in this field.
Methods: This scoping review follows the 5-step framework developed by Arksey and O'Malley. Literature on the practical application of e-Health tools was systematically searched from PubMed, Embase, Web of Science, CINAHL, and Cochrane Library, spanning from inception to April 2024. Additionally, VOSviewer (version 1.6.20) was used to construct visualization maps of countries, institutions, authors, and keywords to investigate the internal relations of included literature and to explore research hotspots.
Results: A total of 26 studies were included. The e-Health tools mainly include electronic monitoring devices (EMDs), smartphone app, electronic prescription, and web-based tool. e-Health tools can assess inhalation therapy adherence in COPD patients in real-time and objectively, and improve inhalation therapy adherence and clinical outcomes. Bibliometric analysis indicates that there is no network of co-authorship between countries or academic organizations. Two collaborative networks have been formed centered on Greene G. EMDs and disease exacerbations are the popular research directions.
Conclusions: e-Health tools have a wide range of applications and promising prospects in the assessment of inhalation therapy adherence in COPD patients. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen the cooperation between countries or research institutions, explore the cost-effectiveness of e-Health tools, and improve their accessibility and usability while adopting integrated design and combining artificial intelligence to improve the effectiveness of e-Health tools in the management of COPD.

What are the training and support needs for homelessness hostel staff supporting older residents with memory and cognitive problems? A qualitative study.
BMC Health Serv Res
January 2025
Division of Psychiatry, University College London, London, England.
Background: An increasing number of older people are experiencing homelessness and memory problems, many of whom are supported in temporary hostel accommodation. This can be a challenge for hostel staff who may not have adequate training and support but who often support those with significant memory impairment in their day-to-day work. The study aimed to investigate the training and support that hostel staff require to meet the needs of older hostel residents experiencing memory and cognitive problems, and thus enhance hostel resident quality of life and well-being, considering what additional knowledge, skills, and support hostel staff need to achieve this.

Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the adherence of radiomics studies to the Radiomics Quality Score (RQS).
- A total of 130 systematic reviews were analyzed, revealing that while adherence to RQS has improved over time, many studies still struggle to provide high-quality evidence necessary for clinical application.
- Overall, only a small percentage of studies achieved a high RQS, indicating that the quality of radiomics research varies significantly between different imaging modalities.
Translation and Cultural Adaptation of an E-Health Program to Promote Positive Mental Health Among Family Caregivers in Portugal.
Healthcare (Basel)
December 2024
Health Sciences Research Unit: Nursing (UICISA: E), Nursing School of Coimbra (ESEnfC), 3045-043 Coimbra, Portugal.
Caring for a dependent individual, particularly over an extended period, places significant strain on family caregivers, often leading to adverse physical, mental, emotional, social, and economic outcomes for both caregivers and those they care for. Common challenges include anxiety, depression, loneliness, and diminished overall well-being. E-health applications have emerged as effective tools to support family caregivers by promoting positive mental health through online interventions, enhancing problem-solving skills, autonomy, interpersonal relationships, self-control, and a prosocial attitude.

Background And Objective: Despite significant investments in the normalization and the standardization of Electronic Health Records (EHRs), free text is still the rule rather than the exception in clinical notes. The use of free text has implications in data reuse methods used for supporting clinical research since the query mechanisms used in cohort definition and patient matching are mainly based on structured data and clinical terminologies. This study aims to develop a method for the secondary use of clinical text by: (a) using Natural Language Processing (NLP) for tagging clinical notes with biomedical terminology; and (b) designing an ontology that maps and classifies all the identified tags to various terminologies and allows for running phenotyping queries.
