Feasibility, Acceptability, and Safety of a Virtually Adapted Yoga and Mindfulness Wellness Program for Adults With Traumatic Brain Injury or Stroke and Their Caregivers at a Level 1 Trauma Center: A Quality Improvement
Project
Michele Diaz Nelson, PhD, MS, RN, Christina Weyer-Jamora, RN, PhD, CBIST
Individuals in the outpatient public health setting with a traumatic brain injury (TBI) and stroke experience ongoing symptoms with diminished quality of life. Research suggests that yoga and mindfulness can be
helpful in addressing these symptoms. However, little is known about the feasibility, acceptability, and safety of using virtually deployed integrative approaches in public health for TBI and stroke.
A novel virtual yoga and mindfulness program for TBI and stroke in the public health setting was found to be feasible, acceptable, and safe. This program showed promise for addressing chronic symptom
burden and improving the quality of life.

In this article, the authors explore the transformative potential of digital health technologies
to advance a Continuum of Care (CoC) model aimed at improving health outcomes and reducing disparities and illustrates successful implementations that address health inequities.
In addition, the authors discuss the technical, economic, and governance challenges that clinicians face in integrating these solutions into routine care. Central to this work is the role of ensuring equitable access,
data interoperability, and built-in accessibility for all users. The paper advocates for a transdisciplinary and inclusive approach, empowering clinicians and technologists to collaborate in creating patient-centered systems that span the entire care journey—from prevention to treatment to recovery—regardless of setting or socioeconomic status.
Impact of Patients’ Health Literacy on the Adoption of Medical Teleconsultation: Evidence From France
Corinne Rochette, PhD, Norbert Lebrument, PhD
This study
examines the influence of patients’ health literacy on the adoption of medical teleconsultation in France. The study provides novel empirical evidence that patients’ health literacy significantly shapes their attitudes toward and intention to use teleconsultation, although not always in the expected direction. Findings highlight the importance of tailoring digital health services to diverse literacy profiles and call for further research to better understand the nuanced effects of
literacy in digital healthcare environments.
