Nearly half of counties in the United States don't have a single cardiologist, according to a new study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology. We believe digital health tools are the most effective and scalable way to bridge the urban-rural divide and help people everywhere take care of their hearts. And we're working every day to do just that. Last year, we published peer-reviewed research that found equitable outcomes for Hello Heart users regardless of their location or distance to a healthcare facility.

The question of why women don't talk to their doctors about certain health issues was a conversation topic among our Pathways in Health Technology students. It was also discussed in this recent article from Medtronic: "Women’s reluctance to seek cardiovascular care stemmed from various factors, including fear or anxiety about medical visits and concerns about symptom dismissal by healthcare providers. Such barriers hindered timely access to diagnosis and treatment. More than 2 in 5 women cited fear and anxiety as a factor, and 15% felt doctors would dismiss their symptoms."

I am pleased to announce the publication of our review article in the Journal of Telemedicine and Telecare. Thank you Profs Prof Linda Hong-Gu HE, PhD, MD, RN, FAAN, Pikkarainen Minna, and Year 4 Hons students for the excellent collaboration! The focus of this systematic review was to evaluate the impact of mobile health (mHealth) applications on the psychosocial well-being of breast cancer patients and their caregivers. We rigorously analyzed 12 trials involving a total of 1,204 breast cancer patient-caregiver dyads. The key outcomes studied include dyadic adjustment, depression, anxiety, stress, symptom distress, social well-being, and relationship quality. The meta-analysis revealed some unexpected findings. It was observed that caregivers in the control groups exhibited lower levels of anxiety and stress compared to those who participated in mHealth interventions. These findings serve as critical insights for healthcare professionals, technologists, and policymakers. The nuanced outcomes indicate a need to further refine the design and implementation of mHealth interventions to ensure that they are beneficial to both patients and their caregivers.

Many of the topics at the #AMWA2024 annual meetings were in alignment with the recently announced Executive Order on Advancing Women's Health Research and Innovation. This Executive Order seeks to: 1) Prioritize and Increase Investments in Women’s Health Research The NIH has pledged $200 million to launch an NIH-wide effort to close gaps in women’s health research across the lifespan, such as on the impact of perimenopause and menopause on heart health, brain health, and bone health. In response to many investigators not knowing about federal funding opportunities, the NIH will issue a new Notice of Special Interest (NOSI) to identify open funding opportunities related to women’s health research across a wide range of health conditions. 2) Foster Innovation and Discovery in Women’s Health The Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) is launching a Sprint for Women’s Health that will commit $100 million in funding to transformative research and development (R&D) in women’s health. In addition, the NIH also plans a 50% increase in its investment in private-sector innovators and small businesses engaged in R&D on women’s health. Another very important development is that the NIH will focus on biomarker research to help improve early detection and treatment of conditions that uniquely affect women, such as endometriosis. 3) Expand and Leverage Data Collection and Analysis Related to Women’s Health The NIH is launching an effort that will promote interoperability and improve data accuracy by identifying and developing new common data elements. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention plans to improve its analysis and reporting of women’s health information by expanding the collection of key quality measures across a woman’s lifespan. All of these areas of focus will require input and engagement with multiple stakeholders to ensure that JEDI principles are are integrated into the activities and programs developed through this Executive Order. AMWA, its committee leads and members will be engaging on various levels with the NIH, ORWH and the CDC. Please bookmark the link and follow us to learn more. https://lnkd.in/eAV3z-9u

As someone deeply passionate about Health Innovation and PatientCare, I was thrilled to come across a groundbreaking study that could be a game-changer for migraine sufferers. This research takes a non-pharmacological approach, aligning perfectly with my belief that there is always room for alternative treatment modalities. 📚 Study Overview The study evaluated the effect of green light exposure on migraine frequency and quality of life. A cohort of 29 patients, 7 with episodic and 22 with chronic migraines, were exposed to white light for 10 weeks followed by green light for 10 weeks. 📈 Remarkable Findings A significant reduction in headache days from 7.9 to 2.4 (episodic) and 22.3 to 9.4 (chronic). Improvement in secondary outcomes such as sleep quality and ability to perform work. No reports of side effects or initiation of new therapies by any patient in the study. 🌱 Implications The study, although preliminary and limited by its small sample size, offers promising avenues for non-pharmacological migraine management. The green light therapy could be considered both as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments. 💭 Final Thoughts This study isn't just about innovative technology or impressive numbers; it's about potentially improving the quality of life for millions of migraine sufferers. As a health professional, I am genuinely excited about what this means for the future of migraine management and healthcare as a whole. If you're as intrigued as I am, feel free to check out the study [👉 Here](https://lnkd.in/gD5bbnEp). Would love to hear your thoughts! Let's discuss below #natureconnection #plantgreen

National Institutes of Health (NIH) research from 2023 determined that US adults living in rural areas have a 19 percent higher risk of developing heart failure compared to their urban counterparts. The study also shows that Black men living in rural areas have an especially high risk of developing the disease. “Patients with heart failure who reside in rural communities have worse post-discharge outcomes than those in urban communities,” said Ambarish Pandey, MD, associate professor of internal medicine and medical director of the Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) Program at UT Southwestern Medical Center, in an interview with mHealthIntelligence. “There are also differences in care utilization, with rural-residing patients participating in cardiac rehabilitation after heart failure hospitalization at a much lower rate due to transportation barriers and limited access to cardiac rehabilitation centers." Smart Meter's cellular remote patient monitoring (RPM)™ can provide rural patients an easy way to test vitals during rehabilitation. Our iBloodPressure® for hypertension and iScale® for weight management can transmit important readings from patients to their provider with no synching, pairing, WIFi or hub required.

“Multidisciplinary collaboration is Key in better healthcare for women”, Prof dr. Angela Maas, Professor in Women's Cardiac Health at Radboudumc. Angela Maas is chair and speaker in the Women’s Health session at the Dutch Life Sciences conference on December 7. Cardiovascular disease in women is the number one cause of death worldwide. Women and men have different patterns of ischemic heart disease (IHD) throughout their lifetime. Different patterns of IHD translate into different symptoms of angina between genders. In the past 30 years, we have made notable progress in our understanding of women's heart disease. Groundbreaking studies have informed us so much more about the novel risk factors that can impact women's likelihood for cardiovascular disease (CVD). In this presentation we will give an overview of what has been achieved and we emphasize the importance of the life-course including female-specific risk factors in individual risk estimation. Angela Maas is a clinical cardiologist since more than 30 years and has developed a main interest in heart disease in women over the past decades. She has been one of the most influential female doctors in Dutch healthcare and was the 2020/21 Women’s representative of the Dutch Government to the United Nations. From May 2022 onwards she focusses on research and advisory tasks only.
