Abstract:

Available ear and hearing health care services are not sufficient to meet the burden of disabling hearing loss, particularly within developing countries such as South Africa. Attempts to meet the needs of underserved populations may require a move towards community-based primary care along with the integration of recent mHealth approaches whereby primary health care personnel facilitate ear and hearing health care. The objective of this study was to determine the clinical utility of a community-based program for identification of hearing loss, using smartphone hearing screening (hearSc

Abstract:

<p> <b>Introduction:</b> Technology is as much rural as it is urban, but mobile health (mHealth) could have a unique impact on health and quality of life for rural populations. The adoption of mobile technologies has soared in recent decades leading to new possibilities for mHealth use. This project considers the impact of these technologies on rural populations. Specifically, it is focused on assessing the barriers of physicians and healthcare organizations to adopt mHealth into their care plans.

Abstract:

Developmental delays are increasing worldwide, as a result of exposure to environmental risk factors, such as poverty. Early detection services are often inaccessible in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC) due to limited human resources and a lack of knowledge regarding development. This study investigated an mHealth screening programme with community care workers (CCWs) facilitating early detection of developmental delays in children from underserved communities.

Introduction: There is an increased acceptance and demand for online and mobile health (mHealth) interventions to support physical and mental health problems.

Background Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic condition characterised by high blood glucose levels. A key aspect of diabetes care is self-management. This involves behaviours such as weight management, healthy eating and physical activity. Knowledge about these behaviours is fundamental for effective self-management, but there is increasing emphasis on the importance of strategies to promote action, such as self-monitoring and problem-solving. An additional factor relevant to diabetes care is health literacy, the skills that allow a person to access, understand and act on health information. Low h
