Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel  Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

Home-Based Nonimmersive Virtual Reality Training After Discharge From Inpatient or Outpatient Stroke Rehabilitation: Parallel Feasibility Randomized Controlled Trial

When a patient is discharged home, maintaining a regimen of therapeutic exercise until recovery has plateaued is essential. However, outpatient and community-based rehabilitation may be inaccessible for reasons such as lack of programs, transportation difficulties, inclement weather, fatigue, or financial limitations [6]. For these patients, home-based therapy may be preferred.

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Combined Digital Platform and Community Health Worker Intervention for Patients With Heart Failure: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Feasibility, Acceptability, and Preliminary Effectiveness of a Combined Digital Platform and Community Health Worker Intervention for Patients With Heart Failure: Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

Key barriers to improving HF outcomes include the need for complex HF management at home reliant on tight adherence to clinical care plans (eg, medication, dietary, activity regimens) and unaddressed social needs often related to social determinants of health [6]. Despite important advances in 4-drug goal directed medical therapy and other evidence-based HF related treatments [7], few interventions have demonstrated impact in improving clinical outcomes in HF populations [8-11].

Predictive Data Analytics in Telecare and Telehealth: Systematic Scoping Review

Predictive Data Analytics in Telecare and Telehealth: Systematic Scoping Review

Technologies can play a role in addressing the challenges associated with supporting people to live longer independently at home. Telecare services have existed since the 1970s and are systems designed to support vulnerable individuals living in their homes, enabling them to maintain their autonomy while ensuring protection from any anomalous situations that may arise [1].

Rehabilitation at Home With the Development of a Sustainable Model Placing the Person’s Needs and Environment at Heart: Protocol for a Multimethod Project

Rehabilitation at Home With the Development of a Sustainable Model Placing the Person’s Needs and Environment at Heart: Protocol for a Multimethod Project

ESD involves persons with mild to moderate stroke continuing their rehabilitation at home guided by a multidisciplinary team [17]. Concurrently, there is a transformative shift in stroke care, with shorter hospital stays. This shift necessitates a broader responsibility for individuals and their families in managing poststroke recovery at home [21]. This transformation emphasizes the importance of patient empowerment, self-management of health, and collaborative decision-making with health care providers.

Understanding the Sociocultural Challenges and Opportunities for Affordable Wearables to Support Poststroke Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

Understanding the Sociocultural Challenges and Opportunities for Affordable Wearables to Support Poststroke Upper-Limb Rehabilitation: Qualitative Study

As such, they are not appropriate for home use or low-income communities, especially in the Global South. Wearable technologies are a promising alternative, as they are small and can be worn at home. In recent years, several projects have explored the use of wearable devices to support rehabilitation [24-27] and patient monitoring [28], although their accuracy in identifying differences in upper-limb exercises is limited, and they have not been tested in the home environment.

The Use of Digital Health Services Among Patients and Citizens Living at Home: Scoping Review

The Use of Digital Health Services Among Patients and Citizens Living at Home: Scoping Review

Other reasons for rejection were that the studies (n=13, 8.9%, papers) did not clearly state whether the use of digital health care services took place at home or elsewhere or that the studies were conducted in a hospital environment, a long-term care facility, or a location other than home (n=8, 5.5%, papers).

Telepresence Robot Intervention to Reduce Loneliness and Social Isolation in Older Adults Living at Home (Project DOMIROB): Protocol for a Clinical Nonrandomized Study

TRs have so far been studied mainly in controlled settings [39-49], although some studies involving OAs have been conducted in institutional settings (hospital services or senior residences) [50-58] and a few of them at home [59-63]. In particular, studies conducted with OAs at home have highlighted the benefits and issues associated with the use of TRs. With regard to the benefits of using TRs at home, cognitively healthy users have had a positive experience [60-63].

The Role of Mealtimes in Fostering Language Development and Aligning Home and School Learning: Protocol for a Multi-Method Study of Preschool Children in Rural Kenya and Zambia

The Role of Mealtimes in Fostering Language Development and Aligning Home and School Learning: Protocol for a Multi-Method Study of Preschool Children in Rural Kenya and Zambia

Sustainable education builds on a strong connection between school and home settings. In order for children to remain in school and succeed academically, it is important to have not only teachers who understand their home environment but also parents who are familiar with their children’s educational settings [1]. However, home and school remain largely separated in many African countries [2].

Clustering of Obesity-Related Risk Behaviors Among Families With Preschool Children Using a Socioecological Approach: Cross-Sectional Study

Clustering of Obesity-Related Risk Behaviors Among Families With Preschool Children Using a Socioecological Approach: Cross-Sectional Study

At the micro level, the home environment is shared among parents and their children. Parents are considered the “gate keepers” of the home and role models for their children. That is, parents can strongly influence food and physical activity behaviors and practices which, in turn, may influence their child’s obesity risk [9,10].
