Digital Tools for Mental Health: An Overview
Mobile health, or mHealth, is the implementation of digital health services with mobile and wearable devices, and has ample potential to enhance self-management of chronic conditions, especially cardiovascular risk factors (e.g., blood pressure control and supporting tobacco cessation and physical activity). It remains ambiguous, however, whether such technologies can improve cardiovascular outcomes.
The digital age is beginning to impact the healthcare system. Smartphones and other devices based on cellular technology have made access to information ubiquitous among consumers throughout the world. There has been a shift from devices that collect data to systems for those medical conditions, such as atrial fibrillation.
The connection between health literacy and health outcomes includes access and utilization of healthcare services, patient/provider interaction and self-care. Digital approaches can be designed to simplify or expand on a concept, test for understanding, and do not have a time constraint. New technologies, such as artificial intelligence and machine learning, virtual and augmented reality, and blockchain can move the role of technology beyond data collection to a more integrated system.
owledge and education is foundational to an individual receiving care, and health literacy is the ability of patients to understand and act on health information. Cardiovascular disease and diabetes are complex conditions that require active participation on the part of the patient.
