Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

We live in an era in which the rise of information technologies has spread to all areas of society. This evolution has gradually affected the healthcare field throughout the 21st century, although advances have mainly been focused on supervised systems where the intervention of healthcare specialists was necessary. However, the global pandemic in 2020 and part of 2021 left a large part of the population without regular face-to-face healthcare. This was a very important push against the clock for the digital transformation of medicine and represents an unprecedented situation in history that can be used by governments and health centres to further research and advancements in the field of e-Health and m-Health. The main focus of this topic is to bring together works from different branches of research, integrated in different journals of this publishing house, in order to showcase all kinds of medical advances linked to new technologies, studies and future challenges, computer-aided diagnostic systems (CADs), wearable devices or unobtrusive ambient sensors for detecting daily life patterns and/or anomalies, accident prevention systems, rehabilitation-oriented technologies, biological and physiological signal processing, and medical image processing, to name a few. The application of new technologies to the medical field to reduce the workload of healthcare staff must remain at the forefront, empowering chronic patients through self-management, helping in the diagnosis of diseases and accelerating the diagnostic process. It is envisioned that some of the described works may represent forerunners of future developments in the field of e-Health and m-Health.

MindSpot is a national mental health service that provides assessments and treatment to Australian adults online or via telephone. Since the start of 2020, questions related to the mental health impacts of COVID-19 have been routinely administered. The objective of the current study is to report the prevalence and predictors of self-reported “long COVID” in patients completing an assessment at the MindSpot Clinic between 5 September 2022 and 7 May 2023 (n = 17,909). Consistent with the World Health Organization definition, we defined long COVID as the occurrence of ongoing physical or mental health symptoms three months after a COVID-19 infection. We conducted a descriptive univariate analysis of patients who reported: no COVID-19 diagnosis (n = 6151); a current or recent (within 3 months) COVID-19 infection (n = 2417); no symptoms three months post-COVID-19 infection (n = 7468); or COVID-related symptoms at least three months post-infection (n = 1873). Multivariate logistic regression was then used to compare patients with and without symptoms three months post-COVID to identify potential predictors for long COVID. The prevalence of long COVID was 10% of the total sample (1873/17909). Patients reporting symptoms associated with long COVID were older, more likely to be female, and more likely to be depressed and report a reduced ability to perform their usual tasks. Sociodemographic factors, including cultural background, education, and employment, were examined. These results provide evidence of the significant prevalence of symptoms of long COVID in people using a national digital mental health service. Reporting outcomes in an Australian context and in specific sub-populations is important for public health planning and for supporting patients. Full article
