- Emerging technologies for supporting patients during Hemodialysis: A scoping reviewPublication . Martins, Ana Rita; Ferreira, Marta Campos; Fernandes, Carla SílviaPurpose: To synthesize the available evidence about the use of Health Information Technology (HIT) to support patients during hemodialysis. Methods: The Joanna Briggs Institute's methodological guidelines for scoping reviews and the PRISMA-ScR checklist were employed. Bibliographic searches across MEDLINE®, CINAHL®, Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection, Scopus, MedicLatina, and Cochrane yielded 932 records. Results: Eighteen studies published between 2003 and 2023 were included. They explored a range of HITs, including virtual reality, exergames, websites, and mobile applications, all specifically developed for use during the intradialytic period. Conclusion: This study highlights the HITs developed for use during hemodialysis treatment, supporting physical exercise, disease management, and enhancement of self-efficacy and self-care.
- Technological Resources for Physical Rehabilitation in Cancer Patients Undergoing Chemotherapy: A Scoping ReviewPublication . Amarelo, Anabela; Mota, Marisa; Amarelo, Bruno; Ferreira, Marta Campos; Fernandes, Carla SílviaAbstract: Background/Objectives: Cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy often face challenges that reduce their physical function and quality of life. Technological resources offer innovative solutions for physical rehabilitation, but the extent of their application in this context remains unclear. This scoping review aims to explore and map the various technological tools used to support physical rehabilitation in cancer patients during chemotherapy, focusing on their potential to improve outcomes and enhance patient care. Methods: A scoping review was conducted following the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) guidelines and the PRISMA-ScR framework. Comprehensive searches were performed in the MEDLINE, CINAHL, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, and COCHRANE databases. The included studies focused on the technological resources used in physical rehabilitation for cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. Data extraction followed theWorld Health Organization’s “Classification of Digital Health Interventions v1.0” to categorize the technologies. Results: A total of 32 studies met the inclusion criteria. The most commonly used technologies included wearable devices (16 studies), web-based platforms and telerehabilitation systems (7 studies), mHealth applications (6 studies), virtual reality (2 studies), and exergaming (3 studies). These tools were designed to enhance physical function, manage treatment-related symptoms, and improve overall quality of life. Wearable devices were particularly effective for monitoring physical activity, while web-based platforms and mHealth applications supported remote rehabilitation and patient engagement. Conclusions: Technological resources offer significant opportunities for personalized rehabilitation interventions in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. However, further research is needed to evaluate the long-term effectiveness, cost-efficiency, and clinical integration of these tools to ensure broader accessibility and sustainable impact.
