This document discusses the need for rigorous evaluation of e-health and mhealth technologies. It notes that while such technologies are widely used, their actual impacts on productivity and health outcomes are unclear. Evaluations of healthcare IT have found unintended consequences like increased clinician workload and new types of medical errors. The document calls for investment in e-health to be based on evidence from well-designed trials and evaluations. It identifies key questions around measuring impacts, designing technologies to improve health, and supporting organizational changes. Finally, it presents guidelines for good evaluation practices in health informatics.

FACTORS INFLUENCING THE ADOPTION OF E-GOVERNMENT SERVICES IN PAKISTANMuhammad Ahmad

E-government provides opportunities to deliver various services more effectively and better serve citizens. In developing countries, e-government initiatives provide services that have been previously inaccessible to their citizens. However, e-government initiatives in developing countries are still in their infancy and face a wide range of barriers that restrict wide-spread use. Like many other developing countries, Pakistan has a low level of e-government services adoption. Previous research has investigated e-government services in developing countries from the organizational perspective. However, the research stream suffers from an absence of studies that have investigated e-government from a citizen’s perspective. The success of e-government services depends on government support as well as on citizen’s adoption. This paper aims to fill this gap by exploring the challenges and barriers of e-government services from the user’s perspective. In this study, an amended version of the UTAUT model is used to investigate the factors influencing the uptake of e-government services in Pakistan. The results show that the factors influencing the adoption of e-government services in Pakistan are related to ease of use, usefulness, social influence, technological issues, lack of awareness, data privacy, and trust. Implications for e-businesses and government policy decision makers are also considered in this study.

Sri Lanka's e-development project supports programs in ICT policy, education, telecommunications, and an e-society. The document also discusses how ICT strategies can focus on the ICT sector, enabling national development, or export markets. Effective strategies require policies, action plans, and assessing e-readiness to evaluate capacities and recommend further actions.

Unpacking the impact of e learning on education in zimbabweBrian Moyo mukwedeya

Brian Moyo presented on strategies for ICT policy review in Zimbabwe. He has experience in telecoms, renewable energy, and infrastructure. He proposed using a business model canvas to review projects. The key problem is a lack of connectivity and services in rural areas. His solution was a holistic approach combining technologies like VSAT satellites, solar power, and radio networks to connect schools and clinics across provinces. This would provide internet access, e-learning, and telemedicine. Barriers like poor infrastructure could be overcome through innovative solutions. The way forward is to drive unified service delivery in education through consistent programs and technology.

Remote Rehabilitation: A Solution to Overloaded & Scarce Health Care Systems_...CrimsonpublishersTTEH

Remote Rehabilitation: A Solution to Overloaded & Scarce Health Care Systems by Karla Mu?oz Esquivel in Trends in Telemedicine & E-health The population across Northern Europe is aging. Coupled with socio-economic challenges, health care systems are at risk of overloading and incurring unsustainable high costs. Rehabilitation services are used disproportionately by older people. One solution pertinent to rural areas is to change the model of rehabilitation to incorporate new technologies. This has the potential to free resources and reduce costs. However, implementation is challenging. In the Northern Periphery and Artic Programme (NPA), the Smart sensor Devices for rehabilitation and Connected health (SENDoc) project.
