Factor Analysis of Patients Who Find Tablets or Capsules Difficult to Swallow Due to Their Large Size: Using the Personal Health Record Infrastructure of Electronic Medication Notebooks

Factor Analysis of Patients Who Find Tablets or Capsules Difficult to Swallow Due to Their Large Size: Using the Personal Health Record Infrastructure of Electronic Medication Notebooks

To improve this situation, it is necessary to share patient preferences regarding tablets or capsules related to the difficulty of swallowing tablets or capsules, such as what size of tablet or capsule product is best for patients and which patients are likely to find tablets or capsules difficult to swallow because of their size. Therefore, several studies have been conducted on the difficulty of swallowing tablets and capsules owing to their size [1-5].

Community Health Worker Use of Smart Devices for Health Promotion: Scoping Review

Community Health Worker Use of Smart Devices for Health Promotion: Scoping Review

Mobile electronic media—in particular “smart” devices such as smartphones and tablets—may constitute powerful tools to deliver public health messages. Smart devices can provide learning via videos or mobile apps, providing information through multiple modes (eg, verbally and visually). Learners presented with visual information in addition to verbal information generate a multimedia effect that deepens learning [13].

Predictors of Smartphone and Tablet Use Among Patients With Hypertension: Secondary Analysis of Health Information National Trends Survey Data

Predictors of Smartphone and Tablet Use Among Patients With Hypertension: Secondary Analysis of Health Information National Trends Survey Data

Using the Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS), Langford et al [18] examined the prevalence of smartphones, basic phones, and tablets and compared respondents who are hypertensive and nonhypertensive. They found that 68%, 55%, and 16% of the hypertensive population had smartphones, tablets, and basic mobile phones, respectively. Younger respondents who are hypertensive were more likely to own a smartphone or tablet and have a health-related app.

Future Mobile Device Usage, Requirements, and Expectations of Physicians in German University Hospitals: Web-Based Survey

Almost all respondents had smartphones (294/303, 97.0%) and laptops or desktops (280/303, 92.4%) for private use outside the working environment, 61.7% (187/303) of the respondents used tablets, and 20.8% (63/303) used wearables such as smartwatches and fitness trackers privately. In clinical daily routine, 71.0% of physicians (215/303) used mobile devices. The operational purposes of mobile devices in clinical practice are widespread (Table 3).

Use of Tablets and Smartphones to Support Medical Decision Making in US Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

Use of Tablets and Smartphones to Support Medical Decision Making in US Adults: Cross-Sectional Study

Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CI were calculated, comparing respondents who used tablets or smartphones to help make medical decisions (n=944) with those who did not (n=1377), separately for each factor using univariate logistic regression models. A multivariate logistic regression model for the odds of using tablets or smartphones to make medical decisions was attempted for factors that were univariately significant with P Sociodemographic characteristics and univariate ORs are presented in Table 1.

Technology Acceptance and Information System Success of a Mobile Electronic Platform for Nonphysician Clinical Students in Zambia: Prospective, Nonrandomized Intervention Study

Technology Acceptance and Information System Success of a Mobile Electronic Platform for Nonphysician Clinical Students in Zambia: Prospective, Nonrandomized Intervention Study

MLP students were provided with 7-inch tablets preloaded with offline contents of the e-platform through the Moodle mobile app [10]. The blended learning approach was piloted from January 2016 until August 2016 [8], and the evaluation of the first year of full implementation of the e-platform for the MLP was conducted from September 2016 to August 2017. The evaluation included both a qualitative [8,9] and quantitative methodology.

The Table to Tablet (T2T) Speech and Language Therapy Software Development Roadmap

The Table to Tablet (T2T) Speech and Language Therapy Software Development Roadmap

Tablets are gaining ground over laptops/desktops because of their tactile nature, which is closer to user reality [33,34], and their mobility, dissemination, and growing popularity [35,36]. However, these devices have different operating systems or variations of them, screen sizes, and resolutions. A “write once, run anywhere” (slogan coined by Sun Microsystems) mind-set is, therefore, deemed necessary when developing software for tablets.

Mobile Phone Ownership, Health Apps, and Tablet Use in US Adults With a Self-Reported History of Hypertension: Cross-Sectional Study

Mobile Phone Ownership, Health Apps, and Tablet Use in US Adults With a Self-Reported History of Hypertension: Cross-Sectional Study

Are there differences between people with and those without a self-reported history of hypertension with regard to having health-related apps on their smartphones and tablets? How do people with a self-reported history of hypertension differ from those without a self-reported history of hypertension with regard to the role that smartphones and tablets play in helping them achieve health-related goals, make medical decisions, or establish patient-provider communication?

A Tablet-Based Interactive Movement Tool for Pediatric Rehabilitation: Development and Preliminary Usability Evaluation

A Tablet-Based Interactive Movement Tool for Pediatric Rehabilitation: Development and Preliminary Usability Evaluation

Interactive digital screens, including hand-held tablets, active video games (AVGs), and fully immersive 3 D virtual reality (VR) systems, have recently become accessible, motivating therapeutic task options for children [12]. VR and AVGs encourage children to interact with onscreen simulations using body movements. The therapeutic advantages include repetitive practice, customized difficulty levels, metrics to track progress, and the potential for telerehabilitation [13-15].
