Predictive Analytics In Telemonitoring: Early Detection Of High-Risk Patients Using Machine Learning
The increasing burden of chronic diseases, ageing populations, and constraints on traditional healthcare systems have accelerated interest in telemonitoring as a strategic tool for early risk identification, clinical decision support, and personalised care delivery. Predictive analytics, driven by machine learning (ML), has emerged as a transformative enabler in telemonitoring ecosystems by enabling continuous analysis of physiological signals, behavioural trends, and environmental data to forecast high-risk events before clinical deterioration occurs. This study investigates the integration of ML-driven predictive analytics within telemonitoring systems, focusing on the early detection of high-risk patients across chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, respiratory disorders, and geriatric frailty. A mixed-methods research design incorporating quantitative datasets, qualitative clinician insights, and a detailed case study of a real-world telemonitoring deployment was utilised. Findings reveal that ML algorithms—particularly Random Forest, XGBoost, LSTM, and hybrid deep learning architectures—significantly enhance predictive accuracy for adverse events, often identifying deterioration 24–72 hours before manifestation. The study further explores system architecture, ethical dimensions, user adoption, data interoperability challenges, and the implications for health policy and digital transformation. Outcomes highlight the opportunity for telemonitoring to shift healthcare from reactive models to proactive, preventative, and data-driven frameworks, provided that regulatory clarity, data governance, infrastructural readiness, and patient engagement are strengthened. The research offers evidence-based recommendations for scalable, equitable, and clinically reliable machine-learning-enabled telemonitoring systems

Cloud-Based Health Information Systems and Their Impact on Healthcare Efficiency
Cloud-based health information systems (CBHIS) have emerged as transformative tools in modern healthcare, enabling streamlined data management, enhanced clinical decision-making, and improved patient outcomes. This study investigates the impact of CBHIS on healthcare efficiency, focusing on hospitals, primary care centers, and rural clinics. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys of 500 healthcare professionals and qualitative interviews with 25 administrators and IT specialists. Findings indicate that CBHIS enhance operational efficiency by reducing administrative workload, facilitating secure data sharing, improving patient record accessibility, and enabling real-time analytics. However, challenges such as cybersecurity risks, interoperability issues, and resistance to adoption remain significant. Policy recommendations include standardized data protocols, training programs, and investment in secure cloud infrastructure to maximize efficiency gains.

Virtual Health Consultations and Patient Satisfaction: An Empirical Assessment of Post-Pandemic Healthcare Trends
The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the adoption of virtual health consultations worldwide, transforming traditional healthcare delivery. This study investigates the patterns, determinants, and outcomes of virtual consultations in the post-pandemic period, with a focus on patient satisfaction, accessibility, and perceived quality of care. A mixed-methods research design was employed, combining quantitative surveys of 600 patients and qualitative interviews with 35 healthcare providers across urban and semi-urban areas. Key findings indicate that virtual consultations significantly improve accessibility and convenience, reduce travel and waiting time, and enhance patient engagement. However, barriers such as digital literacy gaps, technological constraints, privacy concerns, and limited personal interaction remain salient. The study contributes empirical evidence on telehealth effectiveness and provides policy recommendations for sustaining patient-centered virtual healthcare post-pandemic.

Digital Therapeutics (DTx): Evaluating Efficacy in Chronic Disease Management
Digital Therapeutics (DTx) have emerged as a revolutionary approach in chronic disease management, providing evidence-based interventions through software programs and mobile applications. DTx solutions offer personalized, scalable, and continuous healthcare support, targeting conditions such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic respiratory disorders, and mental health conditions. This paper evaluates the efficacy of DTx interventions in managing chronic diseases by examining clinical outcomes, patient adherence, behavioral modifications, and cost-effectiveness. Drawing from randomized controlled trials, meta-analyses, and real-world studies, the research highlights the transformative potential of DTx while addressing challenges related to accessibility, integration, regulatory approval, and long-term sustainability. Findings indicate that DTx interventions significantly improve disease management, patient engagement, and quality of life, though successful implementation requires robust clinical validation, technological infrastructure, and supportive healthcare policies.
