“…Little is known about the use of smartphone apps for the management of GDM [22,35]. Independently of the type of mHealth tool, health professionals play an important role in their implementation and effectiveness [26]. Our analysis revealed that health professionals had positive attitudes towards the use of a smartphone app in the care of women with GDM.…”

“…There is increasing evidence that mHealth interventions help patients to control their blood sugar levels [21][22][23] and elicit patient engagement [24]. However, two systematic reviews on health professionals' acceptance found divergent results [25,26]. White et al concluded that health care professionals acceptance of using mHealth was generally very high [25].…”

Background: The increase in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) provides new challenges for health professionals. Health professionals can find it challenging to provide information about the management of GDM to women with different ethnic backgrounds. mHealth may constitute a useful tool for blood sugar control and the care process. However, little is known about health professionals' experiences and attitudes towards the use of mHealth for women with GDM.

Purpose : Many mental disorders are mostly preceded by a prodromal phase consisting of various attenuated and unspecific symptoms and functional impairment. Electronic Health Records (EHR) are generally used to capture these symptoms during medical consultation. Internet-based and mobile technologies provide the opportunity to monitor symptoms emerging in patients' environment using ecological momentary assessment techniques to support preventative therapeutic decision making.Method :. We assessed the clinical acceptability of a web-based application designed to collect medical data during appointments and provide EMA features. Clinicians at four community psychiatry departments were recruited to participate. They used the application to assess patients and to collect data after viewing a video of a young patient's emerging psychiatric consultation. They were then asked to answer a short anonymous self-administered questionnaire that evaluated their experience, the acceptability of the application, and their habit of using new technologies.Results : Of 24 practitioners solicited, 88% agreed to participate. Most of them were between 25 and 45 years old, and greater age was not associated with poorer acceptability. Most of the practitioners regularly use new technologies, and 90% connect daily to the internet, with 67% connecting three times a day or more. However, only 50% report feeling comfortable with computers. 86% (n=18) of the clinicians would recommend the tool to their colleagues and 67% consider that a daily use would be interesting. Most of the clinicians (76%) found the interface easy to use and useful. However, several clinicians regret the lack of readability (38%) and point out the necessity of improving ergonomy (19%) in particular to facilitate browsing through various subsections. Part of them (24%) are concerned about the storage of medical data and most of them (52%) seem to be uncomfortable with this. Conclusion :In this study we describe the first step of the development of a web application combining an EHR and ecological momentary assessment (EMA) features. This online tool offers the possibility to assess patients and to integrate medical data easily into face to face conditions. The acceptability of this application supports the feasibility of its broader implementation. This app could help to standardize assessment and to build up a strong database. Used in conjunction with robust data mining analytic techniques, such a database would allow exploration of risk factors, patterns of symptom evolution, and identification of distinct risk subgroups.Introduction :

Historically, digital development and emerging interactive technologies shaped a landscape in which health communication, disease prevention, accurate diagnosis, and symptoms management are at the tip of patients' fingers. eHealth, an umbrella term for using digital technologies and innovations in the healthcare sector, puts the patients at the core of the medical processes, offering a variety of tools for them to understand and cope with their conditions in a more active and informed way. The patient is directly involved in the rehabilitation process and the medical practitioner is assisted to give higher quality diagnoses and to maintain constant communication, using digital extensions (like avatars, Artificial Intelligence, robots, chatbots). This entry provides an overview of the meaning of eHealth in health communication and related fields. We highlight the distinction between eHealth, mHealth, iHealth, interactive health communication, health informatics, etc., and we present the principal theoretical and empirical direction of the eHealth research. The large‐scale adoption of technological innovation comes with benefits and advantages in terms of speed, accuracy, and personalization, but the risks and limitations of digital instruments should be analyzed, looking at the criticism of the concept and future research directions in legal, ethical, and psychosocial areas. It is crucial to understand the impact of eHealth on health communication and the shifting paradigm in the medical domain because developers, creators, health practitioners, and even policymakers and governments need to carefully design a context in which medical processes, clinicians, and new digital technologies can improve the lives of patients.
