Summary
This scoping review examines digital health interventions for respiratory health in South and Southeast Asia. It aims to map current tools and identify gaps to guide future innovations and funding.
Area of Science:
- Digital health interventions
- Respiratory health
- South and Southeast Asia
Background:
- Global burden of respiratory disease is increasing.
- Digital health interventions (DHIs) offer a promising approach to manage respiratory conditions.
- The rapid growth of digital health necessitates understanding its application in respiratory care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To understand the current digital health landscape for respiratory health in South and Southeast Asia.
- To assess the comprehensiveness of existing digital health interventions (DHIs).
- To identify opportunities to reduce costs and avoid duplication in digital respiratory health initiatives.
Main Methods:
- A scoping review methodology following established guidelines (Arksey & O'Malley, JBI, PRISMA-ScR).
- Comprehensive literature search across multiple databases (MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Cochrane, Web of Science) and gray literature.
- Data extraction and narrative synthesis of included studies focusing on respiratory health and digital health in South and Southeast Asia.
Main Results:
- The review, conducted from July 2023 to February 2024, will categorize DHIs using WHO's classification.
- Intervention effectiveness will be reported using the mobile health evidence reporting and assessment checklist.
- Results will be presented through narrative synthesis of extracted evidence.
Conclusions:
- Understanding the current digital health landscape is crucial as DHIs proliferate.
- This review will map digital health tools for respiratory health in South and Southeast Asia.
- Findings will inform recommendations for funders and implementers to leverage existing technologies and address identified gaps.

Respiratory assessment is a cornerstone of nursing assessments, crucial for the early detection of patient deterioration. This evaluation transcends routine procedures, representing a critical skill nurses must master to ensure optimal patient care.
Objectives and Importance:
The primary goal of respiratory assessment is to evaluate patients at early risk of clinical deterioration. Since respiratory distress often precedes other signs of declining health, breathing patterns and sounds become a...

The respiratory system's basic structures and primary functions lay the foundation for nurses' comprehensive respiratory assessments. This assessment includes subjective and objective data to gauge the patient's respiratory health.
Subjective Assessment: Nurses interview the patient to gather information directly during the subjective assessment. It includes questions about the individual's medical history, medications, and symptoms, focusing on past respiratory conditions like...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

221
Physical assessment of the respiratory tract is critical to patient care. It allows healthcare professionals to identify and manage various respiratory conditions. The process involves a combination of subjective and objective data collection.
Subjective Data
Subjective data provides vital information about the patient's health history and symptoms. This data is typically collected through interviews in which patients describe their experiences, symptoms, and concerns.

Respiratory Depth
Respiratory depth measures the volume of air inhaled or exhaled during a breath. It can vary from shallow to deep and typically remains consistent when a person is at rest or asleep. Occasionally, individuals will automatically inhale deeply, known as sighing, which inflates the lungs with more air than normal breathing.
To assess respiratory depth, observe the degree of chest excursion or movement:

Assessment of Ventilation
A Ventilation assessment is critical for monitoring a patient's health status. Respiration, one of the most accessible vital signs, provides insights into the function of numerous body systems and can indicate serious health issues, such as brainstem injuries from head trauma.
