Tailoring Rheumatoid Arthritis Visit Timing Based on mHealth App Data: Mixed Methods Assessment of Implementation and Usability

Tailoring Rheumatoid Arthritis Visit Timing Based on mHealth App Data: Mixed Methods Assessment of Implementation and Usability

We previously designed a mobile health (m Health) intervention to improve patient care in rheumatology [8]. It was well accepted by patients, and we became interested in whether one additional value of the app could be to reduce visit follow-up frequency when clinically appropriate [8,9]. The rationale was that a reasonable proportion of visits were for stable patients where remote symptom reporting could help clinicians defer visits.

Perspectives on and Experiences With Remote Monitoring and Patient-Initiated Care Among Norwegian Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: Qualitative Study

Perspectives on and Experiences With Remote Monitoring and Patient-Initiated Care Among Norwegian Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: Qualitative Study

Patients with ax Sp A are usually offered regular, prescheduled, face-to-face visits with a rheumatologist or rheumatology nurse at the hospital’s outpatient clinic and have the possibility to request extra visits if they experience increasing symptoms. Several studies have indicated that scheduled visits often do not align with periods of high disease activity [9-11].

Factors Influencing the Intentions of Patients With Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases to Use a Digital Human for Medication Information: Qualitative Study

Factors Influencing the Intentions of Patients With Inflammatory Rheumatic Diseases to Use a Digital Human for Medication Information: Qualitative Study

Third, the participants were recruited from a single, specialized rheumatology clinic and might differ from the general IRD population in in terms of their experiences with the level of quality of care and medication information provided. This may limit the generalizability of the study’s findings.

Digital Transformation of Rheumatology Care in Germany: Cross-Sectional National Survey

Digital Transformation of Rheumatology Care in Germany: Cross-Sectional National Survey

Within the realm of rheumatology care, a notable surge in digital technologies has transpired in recent years [2,3]. This occurrence stems from the existing global disparity between the increasing number of patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease (RMD) [4] and the static or even decreasing availability of human resources in the field of rheumatology care [5,6].

Noninvasive, Multimodal Inflammatory Biomarker Discovery for Systemic Inflammation (NOVA Study): Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

Noninvasive, Multimodal Inflammatory Biomarker Discovery for Systemic Inflammation (NOVA Study): Protocol for a Cross-Sectional Study

The NOVA study is a 2-group, cross-sectional, single-center observational study aiming to recruit 20 individuals among the hospitalized patients from the rheumatology ward of University Hospital Zurich. The systemic inflammation group and the control group will include 10 participants each. The inclusion criteria are adult persons (aged 18 years or older) who have provision of written informed consent.

Identification of Motivational Determinants for Telemedicine Use Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis in Germany: Secondary Analysis of Data From a Nationwide Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Identification of Motivational Determinants for Telemedicine Use Among Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis in Germany: Secondary Analysis of Data From a Nationwide Cross-Sectional Survey Study

Patients in rural areas usually have limited access to rheumatology care and therefore, accept longer diagnosis times [5]. The increasing shortage of rheumatologists alongside rising demand makes RA a major global public health challenge [2]. Telemedicine offers a promising opportunity to support RA care [6,7]. It has the potential to address workforce shortage [8] as well as disparity in rheumatology care for rural patients [4].

Toward Telemonitoring in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: Protocol for a Mixed Attention Model Study

Toward Telemonitoring in Immune-Mediated Inflammatory Diseases: Protocol for a Mixed Attention Model Study

In this context, implementing telemonitoring in the field of rheumatology has great potential, as it can enable the close monitoring of patients with RMDs [8]. Telemedicine has seen widespread implementation in recent years, not only in rheumatology (as we want to highlight in this protocol) but also in other areas of health care (eg, emergency departments, intensive care units, pharmacies, primary care, etc) [9].
