Published: March 28, 2025

Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is a life-saving procedure for those with end-stage dysfunction. The main goals of SOT are to improve quality life and daily function, which supported by pre- post-transplant rehabilitation. In-person rehabilitation programs have traditionally been the standard-of-care delivering patients. Many adopted virtual delivery model [telerehabilitation (TR)], an approach that has become increasingly used given restrictions in-person during COVID-19 pandemic. Presently, TR being both clinically in research variable practices. A 2-day meeting held February 2023 brought together over 30 Canadian adult pediatric researchers, clinicians, patient family partners across SOT. objectives were: (1) To facilitate knowledge exchange dialogue between partners, healthcare professionals, key stakeholders, (2) Identify gaps clinical practice TR. discussion focused on methods TR, digital tools, facilitators barriers effects physical mental health populations. This report incorporates narrative literature review articles last 20 years. Future directions highlighted leading development priorities targeted towards improved

Digital Approaches in Post-COVID Healthcare: A Systematic Review of Technological Innovations in Disease Management

Biology Methods and Protocols, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 9(1)

Published: Jan. 1, 2024

Abstract Post-COVID conditions (PCC) emerged during the pandemic, prompting a rise in use of Digital Health Technologies (DHTs) to manage lockdowns and hospital overcrowding. Real-time tracking information analyses were crucial strengthening global research response. This study aims map modern digital approaches estimating prevalence, predicting, diagnosing, treating, monitoring, prognosis PCC. review was conducted by searching PubMed Scopus databases for keywords synonyms related DHTs, Smart Healthcare Systems, PCC based on World Organization definition.

Purpose: To identify the most frequently used outcome measures in interventional studies for Long Covid outpatient, home-based, and telerehabilitation physical therapy settings. Methods: Registered PROSPERO (registration number: CRD42021286714) conducted according to PRISMA guidelines, this review included performed telerehabilitation, or home-based settings, assessing adults with persistent symptoms at least 3 months post-COVID-19 infection published English, Spanish, Portuguese. A comprehensive search strategy was executed across PubMed, Embase, Scopus, PEDro, SciELO, Web of Science, CINAHL. Data were managed via Covidence, independently screened extracted by multiple authors. The risk bias assessed using National Heart, Lung, Blood Institute (NHLBI) quality assessment tool. Outcome mapped constructs based on core sets (COS) an international Delphi consensus American Physical Therapy Association Cross Sections Academies COVID-19. frequency use each measure, between-group comparisons, clinical meaningfulness, reference values from previous reported. Results: Fourteen met inclusion criteria, utilizing 43 distinct assess such as health-related life, functional mobility, endurance, cognition, mental health, strength/power, fatigue. Notably, 76.4% (33/43) these only one study, EQ-5D being employed (50%, 7/14). Conclusions: While largely aligned recommended domains Covid, significant heterogeneity observed. Given variability measures, is life individuals Covid.
