RESUMEN
Introduction: Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) aims to decrease emotional dysregulation, particularly through psychoeducation groups targeting skills learning. In March 2020, the confinement due to COVID-19 abruptly interrupted these groups. We continued skills training through YouTube videos. Our objective is to evaluate the feasibility of this format during the confinement. Method(s): All the participants in the DBT skills group carried out in Strasbourg were included (n = 37). The psychoeducational videos were published biweekly during the confinement on the YouTube channel "GREMO HUS". Participants were encouraged to view these videos by calls/messages. One month after the end of the confinement, an online questionnaire assessed satisfaction. Result(s): In total, 92% of patients responded. Of the 34 respondents, 28 (82%) had watched at least one video, and 32% had watched more than 6 videos. A very large majority of users were satisfied with the videos. Seventy-nine percent said they were very helpful in understanding the skills, and 77% thought they had used the DBT skills more frequently. All but one said that the skills helped them to overcome difficulties in times of confinement. Discussion(s): Our study is the first to interview patients directly regarding DBT YouTube videos. These videos were considered relevant by participants during the confinement period. Their use could compliment DBT skills training groups, and serve as a training support for therapists.Copyright © 2021 Elsevier Masson SAS
RESUMEN
Specific 5G Release 17 work items are dealing with critical medical applications. Moreover, the adoption of mobile health (m-health) and e-health has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper first examines the requirements of critical medical applications that 5G is expected to support. Then it illustrates possible data protection, management, and privacy issues. Finally, it shows a first implementation of an m-health framework supporting physical distance management. Experimental results show that, by exploiting 5G connectivity and the computing capacity provided by an accelerated edge cloud, the proposed framework can detect physical distance violations faster than a user equipment (UE)-based implementation, while saving UE energy.
RESUMEN
In 5G Release 17 specific work items are dealing with medical applications. Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of mobile-health (m-health) and e-health. This paper proposes the implementation of a m-health framework supporting social distancing management. Experimental results show that by exploiting 5G connectivity and the computational power provided by an accelerated edge cloud, the proposed framework can perform social distancing verification faster than a user equipment (UE)-based deployment. © 2021 IEEE.
