Challenges associated with the development of scientific projects and studies in digital health and mobile technologies - Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem
Revista Brasileira de Enfermagem. 09-21-2020;73(6):e73n6
Advances in science and the promising results of health products and services have motivated professionals and researchers to study, plan, develop, implement and, above all, assess the effective and significant use of technologies. In fact, the scientific community has an expressive collection of studies and interventions on the use of technological resources in health; however, little or no scientific criteria and rigor is still observed, especially in the validation phases, including the need to obtain significant samples. In other words, to create and make full use of the potential of technologies, relevant steps need to be carried out prudently and responsibly, supported by scientific methods.
It is understood that the data from technological studies, derived from applied interventions, must be based on rigorous scientific evidence, as they are used to support clinical practice, qualification of care and decision making in patient health management. It is in this context that Evidence-Based Health (SBE) seeks to assess and reduce uncertainties in professional decision making. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) cites SBE as one of the major trends in medical practice in the 21st century as well as the incorporation of technologies that allow a reliable, safe, and accurate evidence acquisition and pre-analysis(). It is understood that the development of a eHealth-based (Digital Health) solution must be preceded by clear evidence(). It is worth noting that the difficulties in incorporating digital solutions in health in Brazil are directly related to the lack of execution of the first phases of a product or service life cycle. On the other hand, application and validation are equally relevant steps.
