There are two components to the study: a patient and a clinician study. The clinician study will include one-hour semi-structured interviews with oncology specialists to identify facilitators and barriers to integrating digital diet interventions into the clinical workflow, and to understand their needs and preferences for digital diet interventions. The patient study aims to investigate initial feasibility, efficacy and acceptability of the GutCheck app and intervention. It will last 9 weeks and involves 2 study visits and 2 active phases with a transition week and optional transition visit between phases. During active phases, participants will be asked to use the GutCheck app every day. Prior to the first active phase, participants will go through informed consent and app training. The first active phase will last two weeks and will focus on tracking participants' diet, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms, and stress. The data collected during the first active phase will be used to identify any potential trigger foods that may contribute to GI symptoms, but only if the participant reports experiencing GI symptoms. Between active phases, participants will have one Transition Week, where results from the first phase are given to the participants with the option to attend a Transition Week Visit. The second active phase will last four weeks and will involve the message intervention. A single-blind, micro-randomized trial design will be used to repeatedly randomize participants to different intervention combinations, determining both the timing and frequency of intervention message delivery throughout the day. Lastly, there will be an exit visit and interview within a week from the intervention to collect post-intervention measures and ask about the participant's experience with the GutCheck app.

This trial has to aim to evaluate an innovative, in-house developed mobile application supporting patients in their home environment by actively involving them in different aspects of their condition and treatment. The usability, long-term adherence and patient satisfaction will be studied in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and/or heart failure (HF).

This project will be the first to examine the efficacy of a text messaging intervention designed to recruit first-time fathers-to-be using social media across the U.S. to become involved during pregnancy through two months of postnatal age to support infant, mother, and father well-being.

The aim of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the mobile health (mHealth)-assisted, person-centred care (PCC) self-care support programme for homebound older adults. The researcher will compare PCC approach to a conventional care provider-led model. Participants (n = 130) will receive the intervention of six bi-weekly WhatsApp video call sessions over three months with nurse case managers (NCMs).

The aim of the study is to evaluate whether a digital follow-up program can improve postoperative pain management and quality of life in patients during the first 28 days after discharge home following thoracic surgery, compared to standard follow-up care.

This study evaluates the effects of an electronic patient decision support system developed for the use of patients with type 2 diabetes (DiaPaDeSS) on self-management, patient activation, and metabolic parameters. To manage type 2 diabetes after discharge, patients must continue to perform interventions at home, such as blood glucose monitoring, blood pressure measurement, weight measurement, medication use, and foot care. To achieve this, patient's self-management and activation levels should be increased. This can also lead to positive improvements in the metabolic parameters. It would be beneficial to develop DiaPaDeSS that can increase the self-management and activation levels of patients with type 2 diabetes. The investigators will develop the DiaPaDeSS intervention protocol. Our content includes patient education information about type 2 diabetes, self-management practice tasks (daily, weekly, quarterly), a type 2 diabetes patient education program according to DiaPaDeSS algorithms, and measurement questionnaires. The content of the DiaPaDeSS will be evaluated by 10 experts in the fields of medicine, nursing, and informatics. A feasibility test with seven patients will be conducted to evaluate the usability of DiaPaDeSS. A single-blind, randomized controlled trial design will be used. Patients with type 2 diabetes will be pretested and randomized (intervention 36, control 36) to the DiaPaDeSS intervention and control groups. Both the DiaPaDeSS intervention and control groups will use the DiaPaDeSS for three months. While participants in the DiaPaDeSS intervention group can reach all contents of the DiaPaDeSS, others can reach only these fields: self-management practice tasks (daily, weekly, quarterly), and measurements questionnaires. The effectiveness of the DiaPaDeSS will be evaluated at baseline and at month 3.

The goal of this cluster randomized trial is to learn if eDrugSafe, a mobile web platform for drug electronic labeling (e-labeling) and medication management, can improve medication adherence and self-efficacy in adults who take multiple medications. This study will also assess whether eDrugSafe is feasible and acceptable for use in real clinical settings, especially in local pharmacies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Can eDrugSafe improve medication adherence, self-efficacy, and quality of life for adults taking multiple medications and reduce hospitalizations? * Is eDrugSafe acceptable and feasible for implementing drug e-labeling and supporting medication management in community settings? Researchers will compare eDrugSafe to usual care (traditional paper methods) to see if eDrugSafe is effective in supporting adults who take multiple medications, and if it can be feasibly implemented in local pharmacies. Participants will: * Visit a local pharmacy randomly assigned to use eDrugSafe or traditional care methods and decide if they wish to join the study. * Use either eDrugSafe to access medication information and manage their medication history, or receive usual care with paper-based methods, for 6 months. * Complete surveys at the start of the study, at 3 months, and at 6 months to measure effectiveness and implementation outcomes.

This study aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of AI-powered chatbot support in community smokers.

This study aims to explore the feasibility and preliminary effectiveness of a mobile phone-based intervention among elderly individuals with chronic diseases.

The goal of this observational study is to to determine the perceptions, expectations and experiences of physicians involved in pediatric patient management about mHealth applications. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Is the use of mHealth applications in pediatric patient management different between pediatricians and other specialties? * What are the most commonly used mHealth applications in pediatric patient management? Participants will fill out an online survey form.
