Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention

14.1K
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.
In primary prevention, actions taken before disease onset prevent the disease from...

Methods Of Healthcare Delivery System

3.9K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Gerontology and Digital Health
  • Cognitive Science and Technology Integration

Background:

  • Dementia affects over 55 million globally, projected to reach 135 million by 2050.
  • Digitalization offers benefits for cognitive function, but access is unequal, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs).
  • Older adults in LMICs face barriers to digital technology, limiting research and understanding of its impact on cognitive impairment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of affordable and accessible technologies on cognitive impairment in developing countries.
  • To highlight how readily available digital tools can benefit individuals with cognitive decline in resource-limited settings.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature review following PRISMA guidelines.
  • Searched major databases (PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, PsycInfo) from 1991-2025.
  • Assessed methodological quality using modified Cochrane and EPHPP tools.

Main Results:

  • Low-cost technology and digital tools enhance quality of life for those with cognitive impairment.
  • Examples include online health/social services, social media for connection, GPS for navigation, memory-enhancing apps, and medication reminders.
  • These technologies boost confidence and independence in daily activities for patients.

Conclusions:

  • Low-cost digital technologies and medical apps offer significant benefits for cognitive preservation in older adults and dementia patients.
  • These findings are particularly relevant for individuals in low- to mid-income countries.
  • Accessible digital solutions can support cognition and well-being in diverse global settings.
