Digital Health Interventions for Mental Health Improvement in Older Adults with Mild Cognitive Impairment: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (Preprint)

Published: Jan. 10, 2025

Mental health issues are common among older adults with mild cognitive impairment. However, despite the growing use of digital interventions to improve function, their impact on mental remains largely underexplored. To evaluate effectiveness outcomes in impairment, both overall and subgroup-specific effectiveness. A systematic review meta-analysis randomized controlled trials was conducted, searches 7 databases from inception March 2024. The primary were outcomes. Quality assessment used Cochrane Collaboration’s tool. Subgroup analysis examined variations based specific intervention characteristics, sensitivity meta-regression exploring other potential sources heterogeneity. total 11 studies 610 participants met selection criteria. demonstrated that reduced depressive symptoms (SMD -0.55, 95% CI -0.92 -0.19) anxiety -0.47, -0.76 -0.18); however, no significant effect positive 0.74, -0.46 1.94) negative affect -0.23, -0.60 0.14). indicated hospital or nursing home settings non-portable modality optimal.

Virtual environments as a novel and promising approach in (neuro)diagnosis and (neuro)therapy: a perspective on the example of autism spectrum disorder

Frontiers in Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 18

Published: Jan. 15, 2025

Over the last three decades, dynamically evolving research using novel technologies, including virtual environments (VEs), has presented promising solutions for neuroscience and neuropsychology. This article explores known potential benefits drawbacks of employing modern technologies diagnosing treating developmental disorders, exemplified by autism spectrum disorder (ASD). ASD's complex nature is ideal illustrating advantages disadvantages digital world. While VEs' possibilities remain under-explored, they offer enhanced diagnostics treatment options ASD, augmenting traditional approaches. Unlike real-world obstacles primarily rooted in social challenges overwhelming environments, these provide unique compensatory opportunities ASD-related deficits. From our perspective addition to other recent work, should be adapted suit specific needs individuals with ASD.

Revolutionizing healthcare leadership the critical role of digital citizenship in knowledge sharing

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: March 15, 2025

Abstract This study explores the relationship between digital leadership (DLR), visionary (VSL), and knowledge sharing (KNS) among healthcare professionals in Pakistan, focusing on mediating role of citizenship behavior (DCZ). As becomes increasingly crucial for promoting healthcare, understanding how DLR VSL facilitate this particularly through is essential. A quantitative approach was employed, gathering data from 202 via a structured questionnaire assessing DLR, VSL, DCZ, KNS. Structural equation modeling (SEM) used to analyze relationships test effect DCZ. Findings reveal significant positive both with Notably, DCZ partially mediates KNS, stronger mediation observed context. In VSL-KNS relationship, DCZ’s confirmed indicating partial mediation. These results underscore importance fostering behaviors enhance sharing, providing valuable insights development programs aimed at improving organizational performance settings.
