Abstract:
pressure. Digital interventions are particularly suitable for promoting a healthy lifestyle. The model project “AOK Herzgesundheit digital” (AOK Digital Heart Health) was initiated to support patients with hypertension. Methodology: The aim of the study (with three survey waves) was to identify factors from the participants' perspective that promote or inhibit the (long-term) use of such interventions. Results: The subjective self-/disease management, the general state of health and health literacy could be improved. In particular, the personal counseling proved to be beneficial and motivating. Technical and motivational barriers could be identified. Conclusion: The results show that personal components can have a significant influence on the success of digital interventions.

Abstract:
Diet culture is a societal norm that ranks thin bodies as superior to other body types and has been associated with negative outcomes, such as eating disorders. Wellness has evolved into a term that is often used to promote diet culture messages. One possible way to combat diet culture is through single-session, digital mental health interventions (DMHIs), which allow for increased access to brief public health treatments. The framing of DMHIs is critical to ensure that the target population is reached. Participants (N = 397) were enrolled in a single-session DMHI, which was framed as either a Diet Culture Intervention (n = 201) or a Wellness Resource (n = 196). Baseline group differences in eating disorder pathology, body image, weight stigma concerns, fat acceptance, and demographic characteristics were analyzed. Across groups, participants reported moderately high eating disorder pathology, low-to-moderate levels of body dissatisfaction, moderate levels of fat acceptance, and either very low or very high weight stigma concerns. Participants in the Diet Culture Intervention group reported higher levels of fat acceptance than those in the Wellness Resource group (p < 0.001). No other framing group differences were identified, though post hoc analyses revealed differences based on recruitment source (i.e., social media versus undergraduate research portal). This study found that framing a DMHI as targeting diet culture or as a Wellness Resource can result in the successful recruitment of individuals at risk of disordered eating. Framing a DMHI as a Wellness Resource may increase recruitment of individuals with low levels of fat acceptance, which may be particularly important for dismantling diet culture, disordered eating, and weight stigma concerns. Future research should assess DMHI framing in other populations, such as men and adolescents.

Abstract:
Background: Work related stress, depression and anxiety are common. Despite evidence that these problems can be successfully treated in the workplace, take-up of psychological treatments by workers is low, resulting in many going untreated. One way to address this may be through the use of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs) in the workplace, but there is a lack of information about their appeal and effectiveness. Research questions: 1. What is the evidence for delivering DMHIs in the workplace? 2. What are the advantages and disadvantages to delivering DMHIs in the workplace? 3. What features of DMHIs influence engagement and adherence? What can be done to improve these? 4. What are employers' priorities when selecting DMHIs for their workforce? Method of investigation: Mixed methods were used to answer the research questions. Summary of conclusions: There is evidence for the efficacy of workplace DMHIs, especially if they are delivered over a short timeframe, utilise secondary modalities to deliver the interventions (emails and text messages), and use elements of persuasive technology (self-monitoring and tailoring). Use of online-facilitated discussion groups may increase engagement. Both employees and employers identified convenience, flexibility, and anonymity as advantages of DMHIs. Employers also valued the potential of DMHIs to reach many employees. The main barrier to engagement for employees was lack of time. For employers, barriers to purchasing DMHIs were employees' lack of access to equipment, and their low interest and skills. Cost and effectiveness were priorities for decision makers when purchasing DMHIs. Further work needs to be done with workers and employers to design and deliver DMHIs that meet both their needs.

Abstract:
Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment can improve outcomes, but novel methods to identify high-risk patients and deliver prevention programs are needed. Rapid Access Cardiology (RAC) services can provide rapid risk assessment but have not been evaluated in Australia. Within RAC there is the potential to also implement systems that identify high-risk patients and manage risk using novel strategies. Mobile health (mHealth) provides a unique opportunity to deliver prevention programs and may influence behaviours. There is, however, limited evidence for mHealth efficacy in primary prevention. Aims To assess the utility of RAC to identify and manage patients at high-risk of CVD, and to leverage this opportunity to provide preventative care using mHealth. Methods and results Methods used include cohort studies, data audits, secondary analyses, and a randomised controlled trial (RCT). Part 1 evaluates the role of RAC for the assessment of suspected CVD and identifies gaps in risk factor assessment. RAC for chest pain and arrhythmia safely reduced unplanned hospitalisation. Many patients had multiple uncontrolled risk factors, but gaps exist in electronic data required to quantify risk. Part 2 examines the role of mHealth to improve CVD prevention, and identifies factors associated with effective text message-based programs. Message intent significantly influenced engagement. Patients with higher baseline risk were more likely to change behaviour. Part 3 evaluates text messages for CVD primary prevention via a RCT in higher risk patients from RAC. The primary outcome (difference in the proportion with 3 uncontrolled risk factors) was not significant at 6 months. However, the intervention improved risk factor control from baseline. Conclusion The results support a novel healthcare model which utilises digital health to optimise CV risk assessment and provide continued support to patients at elevated risk extending beyond the traditional clinical interface.

Abstract:
In the Catalan public health system, the provision of services through the use of digital health tools has gone hand in hand with the increasing digitalization of society as a whole. Since these services are often implemented on an experimental basis in a search for innovation, and in the absence of a rule governing the adoption of public policies, they may be exempt from a comprehensive analysis of their pros and cons (an economic evaluation). However, digitalization involves the generation of objective evidence: information stored in databases which can be analysed. There has never been so much information of such good quality. As a result, this dissertation aims to evaluate digital health interventions undertaken by the public health system of Catalonia to analyse evidence regarding its efficiency. The compendium of articles, the main part of this document, consists of the evaluation of three interventions (interconsultation, teleconsultation and telemonitoring). It is concluded that certain digital health tools appear to be cost-effective, and it is recommended that they be supported and promoted; others require further evaluation before a decision can be taken as to whether they ought to be included in the provision of public services.<br>Al sistema públic de salut de Catalunya, la provisió de serveis mitjançant eines de salut digital ha anat en paral·lel a la creixent digitalització de l’àmbit personal dels ciutadans. En la mesura que aquests sovint s’implementen amb una voluntat experimental i des de l’òptica de la innovació, i en absència d’una regla d’adopció de polítiques públiques, poden quedar exempts de l’anàlisi integral dels seus pros i contres (l’avaluació econòmica). La digitalització, però, implica la generació d’una evidència objectiva: informació que queda inevitablement emmagatzemada en bases de dades susceptibles de ser analitzades. Mai hi havia hagut tanta i tan bona informació. En aquest context, aquesta tesi té com a objectiu avaluar intervencions de salut digital promogudes pel sistema públic de salut de Catalunya per aportar evidències respecte de la seva eficiència. El compendi d’articles, nucli d’aquest document, es conforma de l’avaluació de tres intervencions (interconsulta, teleconsulta i telemonitorització). Es conclou que algunes eines de salut digital semblen provar ser cost-efectives i es recomana defensar-les i promoure-les; d’altres s’hauran de seguir avaluant per incorporar-les o no en la prestació de serveis públics d’acord amb els seus resultats.

Abstract:
American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) youth are disproportionally burdened by high rates of sexually transmitted infections and teen pregnancy, heightening their need for sexual health interventions that are aligned to their unique culture and social context. Media technologies, including the Internet, cell phones, and video games, offer new avenues for reaching adolescents on a wide range of sensitive health topics. While several studies have informed the development of technology-based interventions targeting mainstream youth, no such data have been reported for AI/AN youth. To fill this gap, I: a) quantified media technology use in a select group of AI/AN teens and young adults living in Pacific Northwest tribes and urban communities; b) identified patterns in their health information-seeking and media preferences; and c) worked with local tribes and partners to develop recommendations for designing culturally-appropriate technology-based interventions targeting Native adolescents. This research included: a) an anonymous, paper-based survey of over 400 AI/AN youths age 13-21 years; b) a systematic review of technology-based sexual health interventions; and c) a variety of community-based participatory research strategies to analyze findings, prioritize options, and generate recommendations for designing interventions that align with the culture, needs, and organizational capacities of the tribes in the Pacific Northwest. Technology use was exceptionally common and diverse among survey respondents, mirroring patterns reported by teens in the general population. Seventy-five percent of AI/AN youth reported using the Internet, 78% reported using cell phones, and 36% reported playing video games on a daily or weekly basis. Thirty-five percent reported that they would feel most comfortable getting sexual health information from the Internet, and 44% reported having done so in the past. Youth expressed interest in a wide array of interactive media features, and culturally-specific content that holistically encompassed their wide-ranging health interests and concerns. Tribal health educators expressed particular interest in adapting Internet-based skill-building modules and informational websites, and teens expressed interest in websites and videos. These findings are now being used by the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board to inform the development and adaptation of culturally-appropriate interventions targeting AI/AN youth in the Pacific Northwest.

Utvecklingen av teknik sker i snabb takt och på grund av Covid-19 ökades kraven på ytterligare ökad digitalisering. En utsatt grupp i detta sammanhang är seniorer, som drabbas av den digitala klyftan. Med åldern isoleras människor alltmer socialt och därmed finns det ett behov av ökad social delaktighet. Samhället bidrar med goda digitala förutsättningar men alla kan inte använda digitala lösningar av diverse anledningar. Syftet med studien var därför att undersöka seniorers upplevelser av arrangerade digitala möten och dess potential för att främja social delaktighet. Metoden för studien var en kvalitativ ansats bestående av fyra semistrukturerade intervjuer och en fokusgruppsintervju baserat på den digitala interventionen 11 e-fika. Analysen genomfördes med innehållsanalys för både intervjuer och fokusgrupp. Studien genomfördes med fyra kvinnor i åldrarna 70–87 år boendes i en mellanstor kommun. Interventionen är ett pilotprojekt i samarbete med en kommun. Resultatet visade på att digitala träffar som 11 e-fika kan främja social delaktighet men seniorerna upplevde osäkerhet samt behov av stöd vid användning. Seniorerna uppgav att de föredrar fysiska träffar men att digitala är ett bra komplement som underlättar för träffar utan fysisk närvaro. Individens inställning till användning har även en påverkan. Slutsatsen var att digitala träffar kan vara fördelaktigt för social delaktighet men visar tydligt att behovet av stöd finns för att kunna använda digitala verktyg. Därför krävs fortsatt mer forskning inom området.<br>The digital society is evolving fast and the demand on digitalization has been affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.

The aim of the study was therefore to investigate seniors' experiences of arranged digital meetings and their potential to promote social participation. The method for the study was a qualitative content analysis of four semi-structured interviews and a focus group interview after a digital intervention (11 e-fika). The study was conducted with four women aged 70–87 years living in a medium-sized municipality. The intervention was also a pilot project in collaboration with a municipality. The results showed that digital meetings such as 11 e-fika can promote social participation, but the seniors experienced insecurity and need for support during use. The seniors stated that they prefer physical meetings, but that digital is a good complement that facilitates meetings without a physical presence. The individual's attitude to use also has an impact. The conclusion was that digital meetings can be beneficial for social participation, but the need for support when using digital tools is clear. Therefore, further research in the field is required.

Abstract:
Digital health has been touted as a true transformation of health care, but all medical interventions have associated risks that must be understood and quantified. The Internet has brought many advancements, which quickly jumped from our computers into our pockets via powerful and completely connected mobile devices that are now being envisioned as devices for medical diagnostics and care delivery. As health care struggles with cost, inequity, value, and rapid virtualization, solid models of benefit-risk determination, new regulatory approaches for biomedical products, and clear risk-based conversations with all stakeholders are essential. Detailed examination of emerging digital health technologies has revealed 10 categories of digital side effects or “toxicities” that must be understood, prevented when possible, and managed when not. These toxicities include cyberthreat, loss of privacy, cyberchondria and cyber addiction, threats to physical security, charlatanism, overdiagnosis and overtreatment, medical/user error, and the plague of medical misinformation. For digital health to realize its promise, these toxicities must be understood, measured, warned against, and managed as concurrent side effects, in the same fashion as any other medical side effect.

Abstract:
This book provides an academically oriented and scientifically based description of how technological advances may have contributed to a wide range of mental health outcomes, covering the spectrum from problems and maladies to improved and expanded healthcare services. Digital technologies covered include internet use (including social networking, shopping, gambling, viewing of pornography, etc.), digital gaming, smartphones, mobile applications, virtual reality, and computer-based therapeutic interventions. Both the positive and negative aspects of these various types of digital technologies are discussed. Further, some chapters include a discussion of future developments in the field. The book has been written by international experts in the applications of digital technology across many countries and quality universities. This book consists of eight sections. The first focuses on digital technology in the general population. The second covers problematic conceptual issues in the impact of technology use. The third discusses potential positive impacts of digital technology. The fourth covers potential negative impacts of digital technologies. The fifth evaluates utilizing digital technologies for assessment and legal considerations. The sixth explores using digital technologies to improve overall well-being. The seventh discusses the use of digital technologies to treat specific disorders, and the eighth presents a discussion on treatments of problematic technology use. The book concludes with a brief summary as well as a discussion of future directions for digital technologies.

Abstract:
This chapter reviews the application of treatment methods in prevention, with an emphasis on family-based substance abuse, delinquency, and child maltreatment. The goal of prevention is to increase resilience in high-risk children. Considerable overlap exists between evidence-based prevention and treatment interventions, including their etiological and intervention theories, cognitive behavioral change methods and outcome objectives. Also included is the Institute of Medicinespectrum of treatment disorders, a review of prevention and treatment intervention theories, and methods used to design effective family interventions, with an emphasis on family systems, social ecology and resilience theories including the author’s Transactional Framework of Resilience model and the Strengthening Families Program. Lastly, this chapter covers the applications of clinical techniques to improve resilience characteristics and processes and places evidence-based prevention programs methods within this framework and details their similarity to treatment. Digital technology (e.g., DVDs, Web, smart phones, television, etc.) is recommended to reduce intervention costs and “go-to-scale” to have a greater public health impact in promoting resilience in children.

Abstract:
Rainbow Trap reveals how the fight for LGBTQ equalities in the UK is shaped – and constrained – by the classifications we encounter every day. Looking across six systems – the police and the recording of hate crimes; dating apps and digital desire; outness in the film and television industry; borders and LGBTQ asylum seekers; health and fitness activities; and DEI initiatives in the workplace – Rainbow Trap documents how inclusive interventions – such as new legislation, revamped diversity policies and tech fixes – have attempted to bring historically marginalized communities out of the shadows. Yet, as part of the bargain, LGBTQ people need to locate themselves in an ever-growing list of classifications, categories and labels to ‘make sense’ to the very systems they are seeking to access. This requirement to be classified catches LGBTQ communities in a rainbow trap. Because when we look beyond the welcoming veneer of inclusive interventions, we uncover sorting processes that determine what LGBTQ lives are valued and what queer futures are possible.

Abstract:
AbstractThe digitization in healthcare faces challenges in LMICs. The success of digital tools depends on having a workforce capable of designing, implementing, and maintaining such tools. Relevant training of professional staff and familiarisation with new tasks are crucial processes for the optimization of digital tools’ performance. In the broader context, interdisciplinary and interprofessional healthcare interventions often focus on outcomes such as length of stay, readmission rates and/or mortality. However, the effects of digital health interventions on these outcomes have been inconsistent in low-and middle-income countries. The current chapter discusses identified challenges in different digital health implementation models. Addressing these challenges and conducting further research and evaluation can contribute to successfully implementing digitization and process optimization in healthcare settings, leading to improved patient outcomes and quality of care.

Abstract:
This meta-analysis delves into UNICEF�s five-year developmental journey in Lesotho (2019-2023), as documented in the Country Office Annual Reports (COAR). It offers a holistic view of the strategic interventions, challenges faced, and successes achieved in this period. The study employs a comprehensive review methodology, integrating quantitative and qualitative data from the COARs to evaluate the impact and adaptability of UNICEF�s programs across various sectors including health, education, child protection, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene), and social protection. Key findings illustrate significant advancements in maternal and child health, marked by improved healthcare services and an increased focus on neonatal care. In education, strides were made in digital learning and inclusivity, especially for disabled children, aligning with global educational standards. Child protection initiatives showed progress in combating gender-based violence and establishing protective legal frameworks. WASH programs demonstrated enhanced access to clean water and sanitation, particularly in rural areas, while social protection efforts were strengthened through digitized systems and targeted interventions. The analysis highlights the pivotal role of data-driven decision-making and adaptive strategies, particularly in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. UNICEF�s ability to pivot and utilize resources effectively underscores the importance of agility in crisis scenarios. Collaborative efforts with government, civil society, and the private sector were instrumental in aligning initiatives with Lesotho�s strategic priorities, ensuring impactful and measurable outcomes. This meta-analysis provides valuable insights into the efficacy of integrated and responsive program strategies and the crucial role of partnerships in developmental work. It contributes to the discourse on development practice in resource-limited and crisisaffected settings, offering lessons on program adaptability, the importance of data in shaping interventions, and the benefits of collaborative approaches. The findings set a precedent for future initiatives, aiming to enhance strategic engagement and maximize developmental impacts in Lesotho.

Full text
Abstract:
"E-health has transformed healthcare by improving access and reach of health services, which is now more critical than ever given the COVID-19 pandemic. One aspect of e-health is the delivery of health interventions via the internet or through smartphone apps, known as digital interventions (DI). These DI can improve physical and mental health for people, by modifying behaviour and improving illness management. Despite, the benefits of DI use remains low. One explanation for this low usage is people’s attitudes towards DI. Indeed, having a positive attitude towards DI is associated with an increased likelihood of wanting to engage with DI. Therefore, people’s attitudes towards digital interventions are important in understanding if people are willing to engage with them. To date, limited research exists about attitudes and much of this varies based on region and population. Along, with understanding people’s attitudes it is important to understand what shapes people’s attitudes towards these interventions. Therefore, this study sought to determine New Zealand (NZ) adults’ attitudes towards DI and what shapes these attitudes. In order to address these questions a cross-sectional survey was used. Results indicate that NZ adults have neutral to somewhat positive attitudes to DI and their attitudes are influenced by common factors including: beliefs about accessibility of DI and the COVID-19 experience. These findings suggest that some NZ adults have a positive attitudes to DI, but overall people’s attitudes needed to be addressed to ensure people are ready to use DI."

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of digital health interventions in monitoring and improving medication adherence in Multiple Sclerosis patients. Condition being studied: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most prevalent chronic inflammatory disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which leads to focal lesions in the white matter, characterized by selective primary demyelination with partial preservation of axons and reactive astrocytic gliosis. The disease is thought to be due to a complex interaction between different genetic and environmental factors. The prevalence of MS is rising all over the world, due on one hand to earlier diagnosis and prolonged survival, and on the other to a true increase in incidence of the disease. The diagnosis of MS remains clinical despite recent advances in diagnostics and relies on demonstrating dissemination in space and time while excluding alternative diagnoses.

Full text
Abstract:
Key messages • We found that there are limited studies analysing the effectiveness of e-cigarette cessation interventions in a clinical setting and of those that do exist the sample sizes are small, and the studies are underpowered to make any confident assessment of their effectiveness. • Clinical interventions appropriate for young people included nonpharmacologic interventions such as contingency management and behavioural counselling while NRT may be an effective pharmacologic intervention. • There was limited evidence to demonstrate the effectiveness of behavioural counselling as a stand-alone cessation strategy, but it may be effective in conjunction with other approaches. • Emerging evidence suggests that digital cessation interventions (i.e. text message or app-based delivery) may be the preferred mode of delivery for young people, however, their effectiveness in maintaining abstinence is yet to be confirmed. • Evidence suggests there is a need to quantify and create a consistent measure of nicotine intake to appropriately inform clinical treatment decisions. • Studies are generally very low quality, and it is not possible nor is it appropriate to make any definitive conclusions.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: To identify and summarize existing systematic reviews of digital health and telehealth across the cancer care continuum, in order to detail the state of the science and to identify important gaps to guide future reviews. Background: Standard oncology care rarely utilized digital health and telehealth prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, although there has been increasing interest in leveraging technology to increase accessibility of cancer care over the past two decades. Delivering interventions by the telephone and Internet can reduce barriers relative to in-person care. With the particular acceleration of research into remote cancer care delivery through the pandemic, we sought to characterize the current state of the science available through literature reviews in this field.

Petrunoff, Nick, Bess Jackson, Samuel Harley, et al. Non-clinical interventions and services for individuals with suicide distress or crisis: an Accelerated Evidence Snapshot. The Sax Institute, 2025. https://doi.org/10.57022/fknj4927.

Full text
Abstract:
The NSW Suicide Monitoring System recorded 933 suspected or confirmed suicide deaths in 2023, highlighting the need for effective prevention strategies. The Towards Zero Suicides (TZS) initiative funds non-clinical crisis services like Safe Havens and Suicide Prevention Outreach Teams (SPOTs), providing peer-led, community-based support to individuals in distress. This Evidence Check aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and acceptability of such interventions for people aged 16 and over, informing potential refinements or new approaches in NSW. Fifteen studies from Australia, the US, Canada, Denmark, Belgium, and the UK were reviewed. Digital interventions, including self-help tools, social media campaigns, and crisis text lines, were accessible and well-received, especially among young people. Community-led programs like Wesley LifeForce Networks and Deadly Thinking improved local suicide prevention capacity. Crisis support services, such as Lifeline’s follow-up calls, were linked to reduced suicide risk. Workplace programs, like MATES in Energy, enhanced suicide literacy but showed mixed results for improving mental health. Peer-led and co-designed interventions were generally more engaging and relevant to service users. However, most studies had short-term follow-up, limiting assessments of long-term impact. Research gaps exist for Indigenous and LGBTQIA+ communities, and many studies lacked control groups, making causal links difficult to establish. Moving forward, a combination of digital, community-based, and workplace interventions is recommended. Sustained funding, long-term evaluation, and targeted research are essential to improving non-clinical suicide prevention strategies and ensuring their effectiveness for diverse populations.

Full text
Abstract:
This report, commissioned by the NSW Ministry of Health, reviews recent evidence and best practice for mental health discharge planning and transfer of care. It combines a rapid review of recent peer-reviewed studies with a desktop review of Australian policies and guidelines. Key findings highlight that effective discharge relies on early, multidisciplinary planning, strong care coordination, structured communication (including digital tools), and active involvement of families and carers. Interventions like case management, transitional discharge models, and peer support improve continuity of care and short-term outcomes, though evidence for long-term and diverse population impacts is limited. Best practice in Australia emphasises trauma-informed, person-centred, and culturally safe approaches, especially for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as attention to social determinants like housing. The report calls for more inclusive research and ongoing policy development to ensure safe, effective, and recovery-oriented transitions from inpatient to community mental health care.

Sen, Jozef. Calm Spaces: A Strategic Intervention for Enhancing Wellbeing, Inclusion, and Psychological Safety. Sheffield Hallam University, 2025. https://doi.org/10.7190/steer/calmspaces.

Full text
Abstract:
The Calm Spaces Initiative at Sheffield Hallam University was developed in response to increasing demand for accessible, preventative mental health and wellbeing interventions embedded within everyday campus environments. Grounded in a Theory of Change framework, the initiative integrates sensory-friendly, emotionally regulating resources - such as posters and digital media -into high-traffic and reflective university spaces. Co-produced by Student Wellbeing Services, Hallam Students’ Union, and informed by research into student mental health, neurodiversity, and wellbeing promotion, Calm Spaces aims to reduce barriers to support, foster emotional self-regulation, and contribute to a psychologically safe campus culture. This initial evaluation report outlines how the Calm Spaces Initiative is expected to contribute to improved mental wellbeing for students and staff across Sheffield Hallam University. The report also summarises evidence of user engagement and feedback as well as reflections of the project lead about successes and the next steps of the initiative. Early evaluation evidence suggests the initiative has achieved high visibility and positive reception among students and staff, with qualitative feedback highlighting its accessibility, practicality, and particular benefit for neurodivergent individuals. The simplicity and unobtrusiveness of the design were cited as strengths, enabling discreet access to wellbeing prompts without the need for formal help-seeking. Calm Spaces aligns with national strategies promoting a whole-university approach to mental health, and aims to contribute to broader institutional outcomes including improved wellbeing, enhanced academic engagement, and greater retention. While recognising that long-term impacts will depend on the cumulative effects of multiple interventions, Calm Spaces demonstrates how small, thoughtfully designed environmental modifications can play a critical role in building a compassionate, inclusive learning and working environment. Future developments include expansion across additional campus sites, digital enhancements, and a more formalised programme of longitudinal evaluation to measure sustained outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
This study examines the health impacts of freelancing among designers in Bangladesh, a vital yet underexplored segment of the gig economy in developing countries. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from an online survey of 55 freelance designers and semi-structured interviews with 20 participants, including freelancers, community leaders, and healthcare professionals. The findings reveal significant physical (e.g., fatigue, back pain, and sleep disturbances), mental (e.g., high stress due to client demands and financial instability), and social health challenges (e.g., isolation caused by irregular schedules and the undervaluation of freelancing). Gendered struggles were especially prominent, as female freelancers faced dual burdens of professional workloads and household responsibilities, intensifying stress and disrupting work-life balance. The psychological strain of constant digital engagement and client expectations further compounded these challenges. The study highlights the urgent need for systemic interventions, including affordable healthcare, structured peer networks, targeted training programs, and formal recognition of freelancing as a legitimate profession. By addressing these issues, this research contributes to the growing body of literature on gig work, offering actionable strategies to enhance freelancer well-being in developing economies.

Abstract:
Review question / Objective: How was telehealth utilized to manage the Covid-19 pandemic in low and middle income countries? Rationale: Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) often experienced significant challenges in providing telehealth interventions due to limited resources and technology. A review of the literature shows that a small number of LMICs changed their management strategies during the Covid-19 pandemic and moved towards using telehealth. There is a lack of evidence about the practical implementation of telehealth in LMICs. As a result, the present study aimed to review the utilization of telehealth to manage the Covid-19 pandemic in low- and middle-income countries focusing on implementations. In this study, how to implement telehealth in LMICs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, including telehealth platforms used, the impact, pros and barriers encountered in implementation and adoption of telehealth interventions, are reviewed. The implementation of telehealth systems in different LMICs may pose both similar and different challenges. The lessons learned from this study can be useful for improving implementation of digital health interventions including LMICs in different countries.
