The impact mobile apps can have on our patient’s health
Sample
The study population is patients who are using mobile apps. The study sample will be recruited through convenience sampling from the metropolitan area. A multifaceted strategy will be used for the recruitment of study participants. Participants will be recruited through collaboration with healthcare professionals in the metropolitan areas. A radio station with a local audience of mature adults will also be used for the recruitment of participants. A static text advertisement will also be used and posted in various static areas in the metropolitan. The potential participant will be a person who has used a healthcare self-care mobile app for an average period of six months (Anderson, Burford & Emmerton, 2016).
Protection of Human Rights
For the various participant-recruitment strategies, participant consent will be sought in hand First, participant will be adults aged 18 years and above fluent in conversational English, and using a self-monitored health mobile app (Anderson et al., 2016). Participants will be informed on the objective of the research, what will be expected from them, and allowed to make the decision whether to participant or not. Additionally, participants will be informed of their ability to leave whenever they feel...
Participants will not be identified through their real names, or any identifiable data. The data collected from the participants will not be shared, it will be used for the research, and it will be stored under lock-and-key in a safe for five years and destroyed thereafter (Pandey et al., 2013). The research process will be submitted for review and verification by the University Human Research Ethics Committee, and participants will be required to submit a signed form of informed consent prior to data collection. Everything done during the data collection process will be clearly explained to the participant.
Data Collection
Data will be collected through semi-structured interviews. For participants who are physically available to meet, the researcher will organize a face-to-face meeting for the interview. The meeting will be held in a public location where the participant is comfortable and feels safe and adequate privacy in sharing their experiences (Anderson et al., 2016). The preferred locations will be the participant’s office, home, or the local administrator offices. For participants who are unavailable for face-to-face interview, the questionnaires will be emailed to the participant through their convenient email address.
An interview will take…

Internet Self-Help for University StudentsQ1. The claim of the researchers is causal in nature, based upon the fact that the study attempts to determine the efficacy of using Internet? and mobile?based interventions (IMIs)�to reduce social anxiety disorder with an experimental design (K�hlke et al., 2019).Q2. The design was experimental, given that a randomized control and experimental intervention group was used (K�hlke et al., 2019).Q3. The hypothesis was that in university
Mobile Computing Research shows that Social media is playing a huge part when it comes to the health care industry. One study done by DC and Interactive Group shows that beyond 90% of individuals from the ages 18-24 mentioned they would rely on health data discovered on social media channels. The study showed that one in two adults utilize their smart phone to find health information. Even patients are going to
Mobile Telephony Cellular service was launched in UK in 1985. Cantel and affiliates of Mobility UK were licenced to operate at 800 MHz. Personal Communications Services (PCS) operating at 1.8 GHz was licenced in UK in December 1995 with two new players, Clearnet and Microcell each receiving 30 MHz of spectrum. Mobility UK affiliates and Cantel each received 10 MHz of new spectrum. PCS service was launched in late 1997. Today,
Mobile Apps for Capturing Geolocation and Customer Data As progress towards truly ubiquitous or pervasive computing continues to be made, some of the more important emerging technologies that will facilitate this goal are so-called "apps," which are being engineered for a seemingly endless array of utilitarian as well as educational and entertainment purposes. To identify the current state of these technologies, this paper provides an assessment of the effectiveness and
Both of these devices "allow handwritten data entry including sketching with 'electronic ink' and handwriting recognition that converts scribble into typewritten text." (Wales and Zabrek, 2003) Full integration with hospital servers of these devices is required to realize the full benefits of these devices. These mobile devices "facilitate the entry of data for storage and processing at the servers. By storing hospital data on servers rather than on the mobile
AbstractRemote patient monitoring devices have become more convenient and effective in administering health care in the US. The technique is of great value for the patients and the healthcare practitioners as it appears to focus majorly on reducing healthcare costs by use of technology. However, one of the challenges with the current Remote Patient Monitoring technology is the unapproved accuracy of the devices used. Recently, at least five Remote patient
