Background: Blockchain is an emerging technology that enables secure and decentralized approaches to reduce technical risks and governance challenges associated with sharing data. Although blockchain-based solutions have been suggested for sharing health information, it is still unclear whether a suitable incentive mechanism (intrinsic or extrinsic) can be identified to encourage individuals…
Background: Post–COVID-19, or long COVID, has now affected millions of individuals, resulting in fatigue, neurocognitive symptoms, and an impact on daily life. The uncertainty of knowledge around this condition, including its overall prevalence, pathophysiology, and management, along with the growing numbers of affected individuals, has created an essential need for information and disease…
With recent moves to ban ByteDance’s application, TikTok, in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and—most pressingly to the context of the volume that is the subject of this review—Australia, Chinese digital technologies and industry are more relevant than ever to the global economy, perceived security concerns, and Chinese soft power. China’s Digital Presence in the As…
Background Despite the benefits of digital health technology use, older adults with cancer (ie, aged 65 years) have reported challenges to technology adoption. However, there has been a lack of a good understanding of their digital health technology use patterns and the associated influential factors in the past few years. Objective This study aimed to examine the trends in and factors…
There has been a rapid development in the field of educational technology during the past decade and this development has increased the role of technology in every s life. These developments in technology have also affected the Education (Zengin and Aksu, 2017). In present days, utilization of technology in English language classrooms can play an important role to implement this new educatio…
Background: The World Health Organization recommends regular hand hygiene monitoring and feedback to improve hand hygiene behaviors and health care–associated infection rates. Intelligent technologies for hand hygiene are increasingly being developed as alternative or supplemental monitoring approaches. However, there is insufficient evidence regarding the effect of this type of interventi…
International deployment of remote monitoring and virtual care (RMVC) technologies would efficiently harness their positive impact on outcomes. Since Canada and the United Kingdom have similar populations, health care systems, and digital health landscapes, transferring digital health innovations between them should be relatively straightforward. Yet examples of successful attempts are scarc…
The family of emerging gene editing techniques (GET) may add precision and speed to the genetic improvement process. With GET, scientists can turn off, delete, substitute, or add desired genes without addition of DNA sequences typically transferred in traditional genetic engineering technologies. The result of GET is a custom product identical to one that could have been produced via tradit…
Mobile health (mHealth) technology has the potential to support shared decision-making (SDM) and improve hypertension control. However, our understanding of the variations in individuals’ involvement in SDM and mHealth usage across different racial and ethnic groups in the United States is still limited.
Social class is seldom engaged by scholars as a lens for investigating variations in children's digital technology engagement. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 33 working-class children in a postindustrial community, we examine how social class shapes these children's digital technology experiences. Bronfenbrenner's ecological theory of child development guides our examination of chil…
