In the wake of emergent natural and anthropogenic disasters, telehealth presents opportunities to improve access healthcare when physical is not possible. Yet, since beginning COVID pandemic, lessons learned reveal that various populations in United States do or cannot adopt due inequitable access. We explored Digital Determinants Health (DDoHs) for telehealth, characterizing role accessibility, broadband connectivity electrical grids, patient intersectionality. addition its as an existing Social Determinant Health, Policies Laws directly indirectly affect these DDoHs, making more complex marginalized populations. systems lack flexibility, usability inclusively provide essential services patients need telehealth. propose following recommendations: (1) design technology using accessibility value sensitive principles; (2) support a range technologies settings; (3) multiple diverse users; (4) clear paths repair technical fail meet users' needs. Addressing requires change only from providers but also institutions providing systems.

A Perspective on Implementation of Technology-Driven Exergames for Adults as Telerehabilitation Services

Frontiers in Psychology, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 13

Published: March 17, 2022

A major concern of public health authorities is to also encourage adults be exposed enriched environments (sensory and cognitive-motor activity) during the pandemic lockdown, as was recently case worldwide COVID-19 outbreak. Games for that require physical activity, known exergames, offer opportunities here. In particular, output gaming industry nowadays offers computer games with extended reality (XR) which combines real virtual refers human-machine interactions generated by computers wearable technologies. For example, playing game in front a screen while standing or walking on force plate treadmill allows user react certain infrastructural changes obstacles within environment. Recent developments, optimization, minimizations technology have produced wireless headsets sensors allow unrestricted whole-body movement. This makes experience more immersive provides opportunity greater engagement than traditional exercise. Currently, XR serves an umbrella term current technologies well future realities enhance features produce new controllable environments. Overall, these technology-enhanced exergames challenge adult modify increasing sensory stimulation creating environment where elements interact. As therapy, can potentially create visualizations may ecologically valid thus simulate activities daily living trained. Furthermore, adding telemedicine exergame, progress over time closely monitored feedback provided, offering assessment. To optimally serve both physically cognitively lockdowns, there need provide long-term remote training feedback.
