An Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor Mobile Health System for Early Warning for Stroke Risk: Longitudinal Observational Study

A computer architecture based on disruptive information technologies for drug management in hospitals

The drug management currently carried out in hospitals is inadequate due to several factors, such as processes carried out manually, the lack of visibility of the hospital supply chain, the lack of standardized identification of medicines, inefficient stock management, an inability to follow the traceability of medicines, and poor data exploitation. Disruptive information technologies could be used to develop and implement a drug management system in hospitals that is innovative in all its phases and allows these problems to be overcome. However, there are no examples in the literature that show how these technologies can be used and combined for efficient drug management in hospitals. To help solve this research gap in the literature, this article proposes a computer architecture for the whole drug management process in hospitals that uses and combines different disruptive computer technologies such as blockchain, radio frequency identification (RFID), quick response code (QR), Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence and big data, for data capture, data storage and data exploitation throughout the whole drug management process, from the moment the drug enters the hospital until it is dispensed and eliminated.

Description of an mHealth tool for breastfeeding support: LactApp. Analysis of how lactating mothers seek support at critical breastfeeding points and according to their infant's age

Interventions in mHealth have had positive effects on establishing and maintaining breastfeeding, but we still do not know what content women consult when downloading a breastfeeding mobile application. We conducted an observational, descriptive, and retrospective study using the data recorded by LactApp in 2019. The most frequently consulted topics were those related to breastfeeding technique, infant sleep, human milk management and storage, breastfeeding myths, breastfeeding stages, complementary feeding, infant care, and returning to work. Our study results suggest that LactApp's support seems to develop with mothers' needs according to their infant's development stage. The first breastfeeding days include more physiological answers. Between 15 days and 3 months, mothers look for support in topics like breastfeeding crisis/complications and returning to work. At 3 months to 1 year, answers are related to complementary feeding and weaning. When the user's infant is 1 year of age, mothers seek support for weaning, weaning management, and tandem breastfeeding.
