Rural Perspectives on Digital Health in Cardiovascular Care: Qualitative Study of Interviews With Rural and Rural-Serving Primary Care Providers and Cardiologists
Background: Digital health technologies, such as telehealth, remote patient monitoring, and smartphone apps, have the potential to reduce access disparities faced by rural patients with cardiovascular disease, but little is known about rural health care providers’ perspectives on adopting digital health in their practice. Objective: This study used diffusion of innovations theory as a guiding framework to interpret interview findings on rural and rural-serving health care providers’ perspectives on the use of digital health to deliver rural cardiovascular care. Methods: We conducted...

A new study conducted jointly by DGH and South African researchers confirms that text-based follow-up between patients and providers after adult voluntary medical male circumcision for HIV prevention is just as safe as in-person visits, while preserving the quality of care.

Strengthening evidence for text-based telehealth in post-operative care: A pragmatic study of the reach and effectiveness of two-way, text-based follow-up after voluntary medical male circumcision in South Africa
Building upon evidence of safety and efficiency gains from a randomized control trial (RCT) in South Africa, we further scaled implementation of two-way, short message service (SMS), text-based (2wT) follow-up after voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC). We aimed to determine if gains in adverse event (AE) identification and reduced follow-up visits could be maintained when 2wT was implemented in routine VMMC settings. A pragmatic, stepped wedge design (SWD) study was implemented across three districts in South Africa. Men ages 15 and older could opt into the 2wT telehealth follow-up...
