Abstract Background: Large-scale epidemics have changed people’s medical behavior, and patients tend to delay non-urgent medical needs. However, the impact of the pandemic on the use of complementary and alternative medicine remains unknown. Methods: This retrospective study aimed to analyze the changes in the number of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) patients and examine the epidemic prevention policy during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. We analyzed the number of TCM patients in Taipei City Hospital from January 2017 to May 2020. We tallied the numbers of patients in each month and compared them with those in the same months last year. We calculated the percentage difference in the number of patients to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on TCM utilization. We used the Mann­–Whitney U test to examine whether there was a significant difference in the number of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Results: We included a total of 41 months and 1,935,827 patients in this study. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the number of patients decreased significantly, except in February 2020. The numbers of patients during the COVID-19 pandemic had fallen by more than 15% compared with those in the same months last year. March and April had the greatest number of patient losses, with falls of 32.8% and 40%, respectively. TCM patients declined significantly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and mobile medicine provided to rural areas fell considerably. Among all the TCM specialties, pediatrics and traumatology, as well as infertility treatment, witnessed the most significant decline in the number of patients. However, the number of cancer patients has reportedly increased. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic decreased the utilization rate of TCM, especially for mobile healthcare in rural areas. We suggest that the government pay attention to the medical disparity between urban and rural areas, which are affected by the pandemic, as well as allocate adequate resources in areas deprived of medical care.

Scientific researches have proven the pathogenetic relationship between stress and the development of a wide range of diseases. The impact of stress to the development of somatic diseases is well known, but greatly underestimated, since the treatment of stress and the correction of its consequences is an important aspect in the prevention and treatment of any, even infectious diseases, which was proved during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. The introduction of individual mobile medicine devices (M-Health) into a wide medical practice makes it possible to provide not only remote monitoring of the patients condition, but also to conduct remote treatment, with the selection and correction of drug therapy based on objective biometric data.

With the popularization of wireless communication and smart devices in the medical field, mobile medicine has attracted more and more attention because it can break through the limitations of time, space, and objects and provide more efficient and quality medical services. However, the characteristics of a mobile smart medical network make it more susceptible to security threats such as data integrity damage and privacy leakage than those of traditional wired networks. In recent years, many digital signature schemes have been proposed to alleviate some of these challenges. Unfortunately, traditional digital signatures cannot meet the diversity and privacy requirements of medical data applications. In response to this problem, this paper uses the unique security attributes of sanitizable signatures to carry out research on the security and privacy protection of medical data and proposes a data security and privacy protection scheme suitable for smart mobile medical scenarios. Security analysis and performance evaluation show that our new scheme effectively guarantees data security and user privacy while greatly reducing computation and communication costs, making it especially suitable for mobile smart medical application scenarios.

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study is to understand the characteristics of China's Internet hospitals, and to assess their health service capacity. METHODS Using “Internet hospitals”, “Internet health”, “Internet medicine”, “mobile medicine”, “mobile health”, “Telehealth”, “digital medicine”, “digital health”, “Web hospitals”, and “Cloud hospitals” in Chinese as the search terms, the data of Internet hospitals were collected via official website, the WeChat platform, smartphone app and the Baidu search engine until July, 2020. RESULTS By July 2020, the number of Internet hospitals had expanded to 714 in 31 provinces. Of the 714 Internet hospitals, the half of Internet hospitals were established in 2019 (206, 28.85%) and 2020 (215, 30.11%). Especially, Internet hospitals set up in the beginning of 2020, as an emergency response to the COVID-19 epidemic, has a one-third weight in the final total. There are three different dominators—government-oriented, hospital-oriented, and enterprise-oriented internet hospitals—for which sponsors have different characters of supporting content and responsibilities. In the vast majority of Internet hospitals, traditional hospitals have dominant position (73.67%, 526/714). In addition, patients accessed outpatient service delivery via WeChat (224, 35.05%) most widely. 221 (46.14%) of Internet hospitals asked doctors to give health services at a specific Web clinic, while 258(53.86%) by smartphone app. The consulting methods included graphic message (96.84%), video (43.51%) and telephone (41.75%). Besides, 106(18.60%) Internet hospitals offered 3 ways to consult for patients at the same time. The median number of doctors available online was 43. The median consultation fee of fever clinic and other outpatient clinics except fever clinic per time were separately ¥0 and ¥6. Four-fifths(80.94%) of doctors were from local hospitals and medical union. Internet hospitals played various roles during COVID-19, such as medical prescription, drug delivery service, medical insurance, epidemic prevention and control information, fever clinic consultation, psychological counseling, myth busters of COVID-19, epidemic situation dynamic and donation. CONCLUSIONS Internet hospitals are booming in China. Internet hospital play an important role on preventing and controlling COVID-19, providing different and convenient types of medical services for people seeking medical needs.
