- Example(s):
- Telemedicine platforms: These allow patients to connect with healthcare providers remotely, using videoconferencing or other digital communication tools. Telemedicine can be used for a variety of purposes, such as consultations, follow-up visits, and remote monitoring of chronic conditions.
- Health and fitness apps: These apps can help users track and manage their health and fitness, by providing tools such as calorie counters, exercise logs, and alerts for health risks.
- Personal health records (PHRs): These are digital health records that are maintained by the patient, rather than a healthcare provider. PHRs can help patients take a more active role in their own health management, by providing a place to store and track important health information.
- Clinical decision support systems (CDSS): These are computer-based systems that help healthcare providers make more informed decisions about patient care by providing them with relevant clinical guidelines, best practices, and other relevant information.

- Q: what is an eHealth application and what are some examples?
- A: An eHealth application is a type of software that uses digital technologyes to improve healthcare delivery and patient outcomes. Some examples of eHealth applications include:

- QUOTE: ... In an ongoing effort of this Journal to develop and further the theories, models, and best practices around eHealth research, this paper argues for the need for a “science of attrition”, that is, a need to develop models for discontinuation of eHealth applications and the related phenomenon of participants dropping out of eHealth trials. ...
