Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

While simply providing an app or wearable in German did not automatically qualify it as DACH-specific, those developed by creators from Germany, Austria, or Switzerland, with a focus on their respective health care systems, were deemed as such. Secondly, the app or wearable was considered DACH-specific if the company behind it was based in one of the DACH countries.

Characteristics, Opportunities, and Challenges of Osteopathy Based on the Perceptions of Osteopaths in Austria: Qualitative Interview Study

Characteristics, Opportunities, and Challenges of Osteopathy Based on the Perceptions of Osteopaths in Austria: Qualitative Interview Study

In contrast to Switzerland, a legal basis for the profession of osteopathy does not exist in Germany or Austria. In Austria, physicians and physiotherapists trained in osteopathy practice as osteopaths. Physicians are allowed to practice osteopathy without any restrictions, whereas physiotherapists are only allowed to practice osteopathy upon medical assignment [4].
