Background: Femoroacetabular impingement syndrome (FAI) is a complex, often post-traumatically developing impairment of the hip joint. It is characterized by ambiguous symptomatology, which makes early diagnosis difficult. Aim: The study was conducted to evaluate the applicability of a triaxial gyroscopic sensor in routine practice as an additional indication criterion for operative versus conservative treatment procedures. Methods: Ninety-two patients were included in the experimental retrospective study and 62 completed the examination. All patients signed informed consent. A gyroscopic sensor was placed on the right side of the pelvis above the hip joint and patients walked approximately 15 steps. Data were also evaluated while the patients climbed stairs. A complete clinical examination of the dynamics and physiological movements in the joint was performed. The data measured by the gyroscopic sensor were processed using differential geometry methods and subsequently evaluated using spectral analysis and neural networks. Results: FAI diagnosis using gyroscopic measurement is fast and easy to implement. Our approach to processing the gyroscopic signals used to detect the stage of osteoarthritis and post-traumatic FAI could lead to more accurate detection and capture early in FAI development. Conclusions: The obtained data are easily evaluated, interpretable, and beneficial in the diagnosis of the early stages of FAI. The results of the study show that this approach can lead to more accurate and early detection of osteoarthritis and post-traumatic FAI.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) je chronické, postupujúce, celoživotné ochorenie, spojené s pravidelnými vyšetreniami u lekára. Monitoring meraní patrí medzi kľúčové faktory v manažmente ochorenia a je aj ukazovateľom adherencie a kompliancie diabetika. Najvyššia ochota k spolupráci na liečbe zo strany pacienta je na začiatku ochorenia a v prvých niekoľkých mesiacoch, potom dlhodobo pozvoľne slabne. V štúdii sme v podmienkach bežnej medicínskej praxe diabetologickej ambulancie vyhodnocovali údaje u 211 novodiagnostikovaných diabetikov 2. typu po dobu 11 mesiacov. Okrem rutinnej praxe osobných návštev na ambulancii sme aktívne využili možnosti telemedicíny. Pacienti dostali pri prvej návšteve telemedicínsky kit, ktorý obsahoval glukomer, váhu, tlakomer, EKG, spirometer, teplomer a oxymeter. Úroveň metabolickej kompenzácie sme verifikovali vyhodnotením hladín glykovaného hemoglobínu. Zavedenie telemedicíny umožňuje sledovanie kompliancie a adherencie pri liečbe DM. Narastajúci počet diabetikov a frekvencia vyšetrení vyvoláva tlak na zdravotný systém. V manažmente pacienta s DM sú potrebné nástroje na objektivizáciu na trvalú motiváciu pacientov. Telemedicína prispieva k lepšej kompliancii, adherencii a metabolickej kompenzácii a znižuje potrebu frekvencie osobných návštev pacienta.
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic, progressive, lifelong disease associated with regular visits at doctor. Monitoring measurements is one of the key factors in disease management and it is also an indicator of diabetic adherence and compliance of the patient. Patient is mostly willing to cooperate in the treatment at the beginning of the disease and in the first few months, after that it gradually weakens over the long term. In the study, we evaluated the data of 211 newly diagnosed patients with type 2 diabetes for a period of 11 months. In addition to the routine practice of personal visits of the doctor, we actively used the possibilities of telemedicine. During the first visit, patients received a telemedicine kit that includes glucometer, scale, blood pressure monitor, ECG and oximeter. The metabolic compensation was verified by evaluating glycated hemoglobin. By establishing telemedicine it enabled monitoring of compliance and adherence in the treatment of DM. The growing number of diabetics and the frequency of examinations puts pressure on the health system. In the management of patients with DM, tools for objectification are needed to continuously motivate patients. Telemedicine contributes to better compliance, adherence, metabolic compensation and reduces the need for frequent personal patient visits.

BACKGROUND: The escalating global prevalence of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes presents a major public health challenge. Physical activity plays a critical role in managing (pre)diabetes; however, adherence to physical activity recommendations remains low. The ENERGISED trial was designed to address these challenges by integrating mHealth tools into the routine practice of general practitioners, aiming for a significant, scalable impact in (pre)diabetes patient care through increased physical activity and reduced sedentary behaviour. METHODS: The mHealth intervention for the ENERGISED trial was developed according to the mHealth development and evaluation framework, which includes the active participation of (pre)diabetes patients. This iterative process encompasses four sequential phases: (a) conceptualisation to identify key aspects of the intervention; (b) formative research including two focus groups with (pre)diabetes patients (n = 14) to tailor the intervention to the needs and preferences of the target population; (c) pre-testing using think-aloud patient interviews (n = 7) to optimise the intervention components; and (d) piloting (n = 10) to refine the intervention to its final form. RESULTS: The final intervention comprises six types of text messages, each embodying different behaviour change techniques. Some of the messages, such as those providing interim reviews of the patients' weekly step goal or feedback on their weekly performance, are delivered at fixed times of the week. Others are triggered just in time by specific physical behaviour events as detected by the Fitbit activity tracker: for example, prompts to increase walking pace are triggered after 5 min of continuous walking; and prompts to interrupt sitting following 30 min of uninterrupted sitting. For patients without a smartphone or reliable internet connection, the intervention is adapted to ensure inclusivity. Patients receive on average three to six messages per week for 12 months. During the first six months, the text messaging is supplemented with monthly phone counselling to enable personalisation of the intervention, assistance with technical issues, and enhancement of adherence. CONCLUSIONS: The participatory development of the ENERGISED mHealth intervention, incorporating just-in-time prompts, has the potential to significantly enhance the capacity of general practitioners for personalised behavioural counselling on physical activity in (pre)diabetes patients, with implications for broader applications in primary care.

BACKGROUND: A previous randomized controlled trial (NeCR) has indicated the effectiveness of nurse-led eHealth cardiac rehabilitation (CR) on modifying the behaviors of patients with coronary heart disease. However, limited qualitative studies explore the experiences of using eHealth CR that led to such benefits. OBJECTIVE: The study aimed to explore the experiences of patients who participated in the NeCR program. METHODS: A descriptive qualitative study was employed among 20 intervention group patients who used the eHealth CR website and ranked differently (0-35th percentile, >35th percentile, and > 70% percentile) in the improvement of health-promoting behaviors. RESULTS: Five themes emerged: the NeCR program has promoted behavior change and mitigated emotional distress post-CHD. Patients described how the NeCR influenced cognitive determinants (knowledge and skill acquisition, having a roadmap, self-monitoring, and self-evaluation and resolution) and offered social support (professional counseling and peer interaction via multimedia chat) toward such change. Patients also appreciated the high affordability, accessibility, reliability of the NeCR, and expressed psychological, contextual, and technical barriers. CONCLUSIONS: Providing eHealth CR during patient discharge is warranted as an affordable, accessible, and reliable alternative to obtain health benefits. Extensive behavior change techniques, actionable CR guidance, and increased awareness are widely perceived enablers. Offering professional support and moderation is critical for early post-discharge consultation and for introducing direct peer interaction to reassure patients.
