AbstractLong treatment for tuberculosis, which is 6 months, often makes patients feel bored and forgets to take medicine and causes non-compliance. The development of increasingly high use of smartphones, along with the use of information technology in health, especially for tuberculosis patients, makes many things accessible to patients. By using smartphones, the patients can access the MHealth application, DCC (Drugs Consumption Calendar), SMS gateway, voice calls, and video calls which provide health information and care for tuberculosis patients. It also can make patients obedient to taking medication to increase the TB cure rate. To describe the use of health information technology in pulmonary tuberculosis patients. The design of this study used a literature review of five articles from the PubMed database and Google Scholar. The instrument critical appraisal in this research used Strobe. There were 791 tuberculosis patients (76%) who used information technology in the form of mobile phones. The types of information used included Short Massage Service (SMS) (31% or 246 patients), using the telephone (17.4% or 221 tuberculosis patients), and using video calls (25, 1% or 199 patients). The health information. generally, were a schedule for taking medication and control, reminder to take medication, reporting if there were side effects that occur during treatment, prevention, transmission, food, and patient diet and counseling. The use of health information technology is very helpful in the treatment of TB patients starting from text messages, video calls, and voice calls to improve medication adherence in tuberculosis patients.Keywords: Mobile Health App, SMS, Tuberculosis, Information Technologv, Video Call AbstrakPengobatan tuberkulosis yang lama yaitu 6 bulan sering membuat pasien jenuh dan lupa untuk meminum obat serta menimbulkan ketidak patuhan.

BACKGROUND Rigorous development of mobile technologies requires the use of validated instruments to evaluate the usability of these tools, which has become more relevant with the expansion of these technologies. Although various usability evaluation tools have been developed, there are relatively few simple evaluation instruments which have been validated across diseases and languages in mobile health information technology validated for use for multiple diseases. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to validate the Korean version of the Health Information Technology Usability Evaluation Scale (Korean Health-ITUES) and its applicability for different health conditions. METHODS To develop the Korean Health-ITUES, a validation process was composed of the following three steps: (1) customization of the Health-ITUES for menstrual symptoms, (2) translation to Korean Health-ITUES, and (3) reliability and validity examination. The translation process adhered to the World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines for translation and back translation, expert review, and reconciliation. After developing the Korean Health-ITUES draft, five female nursing science majors who used the menstrual app participated in a pilot test and provided feedback on the content of the instrument. Following this, 244 women were recruited for validation testing. RESULTS The Korean Health-ITUES showed reliable internal consistency with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.951; meanwhile, factor loadings of the 20 items in the 4 subscales ranged from 0.416 to 0.892. CONCLUSIONS The Health-ITUES demonstrated reliability and validity for use in assessing mHealth apps’ usability in young Korean women living with menstrual discomfort. Given the strong psychometric properties of this tool in Korean and English and across two different health conditions, the Health-ITUES is a strong tool for mHealth apps’ usability evaluation. The Health-ITUES is a valid instrument for the evaluation of mHealth technology, which are widely used by patients to self-manage their health and by providers to improve healthcare delivery.

PurposeThis paper discusses the need for government and healthcare organization to implement mobile phone-based solutions for healthcare during the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic. It also highlights the challenges and/or barriers to the rapid introduction, implementation and management of these and other innovative solutions to health service delivery during the current situationDesign/methodology/approachThe data include both qualitative and quantitative, collected from the primary interview-based case study and questionnaire survey. It also uses insights from the general populations, healthcare professionals and health information technology developers to understand the role of a mobile health intervention in the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.FindingsHealthcare professionals and health information technology developers are confident that the use of mobile health technology and applications has the ability to assist in monitoring and controlling the COVID-19 outbreak. The key advantages of using mobile phone technology are: increased awareness, improved assistance in tracking and testing casualties, improved assistance in seeking and scheduling health information and medical appointments, increased social distancing, improved overall productivity and quality of life. However, data demonstrated that lack of awareness and accessibility or unwillingness to use the technology, complex healthcare needs, application infrastructure, policies and a dearth of training and support are all barriers to successful implementation of this useful tool.Practical implicationsThis research has the potential to make a significant impact on government and healthcare policy through presenting a coherent argument for the importance of designing and deploying mobile health technology and applications for the general population.Originality/valueprior literature in this domain is inadequate in explaining the importance of mobile phone-based healthcare solutions for health service and during serious disease outbreaks and, in particular, within the Indian context. The findings of this study can be used by government and healthcare organizations to improve health governance during the current global pandemic.

According to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration ‘the broad scope of digital health includes categories such as mobile health (mHealth), health information technology (IT), wearable devices, telehealth and telemedicine, and personalised medicine, and is used by providers and other stakeholders in their efforts to reduce inefficiencies, improve access, reduce costs, increase quality, and make medicine more personalised for patients (FDA 2016). More recently, Paul Sonier, a digital health strategist and founder of the Linkedin Digital Health Group with more than 40,000 members, defined digital health as ‘the convergence of the digital and genomic revolutions with health, healthcare, living, and society’ ( storyofdigitalhealth.com 2016).

SummaryObjective: No framework exists to identify and study unintended consequences (UICs) with a focus on organizational and social issues (OSIs). To address this shortcoming, we conducted a literature review to develop a framework for considering UICs and health information technology (HIT) from the perspective of OSIs.Methods: A literature review was conducted for the period 2000-2015 using the search terms “unintended consequences” and “health information technology”. 67 papers were screened, of which 18 met inclusion criteria. Data extraction was focused on the types of technologies studied, types of UICs identified, and methods of data collection and analysis used. A thematic analysis was used to identify themes related to UICs.Results: We identified two overarching themes. One was the definition and terminology of how people classify and discuss UICs. Second was OSIs and UICs. For the OSI theme, we also identified four sub-themes: process change and evolution, individual-collaborative interchange, context of use, and approaches to model, study, and understand UICs.Conclusions: While there is a wide body of research on UICs, there is a lack of overall consensus on how they should be classified and reported, limiting our ability to understand the implications of UICs and how to manage them. More mixed-methods research and better proactive identification of UICs remain priorities. Our findings and framework of OSI considerations for studying UICs and HIT extend existing work on HIT and UICs by focusing on organizational and social issues.
