Screening the Digital Skills of Patients in Geriatric Rehabilitation: Multicenter Cross-Sectional Study Background: Digitalization in geriatric rehabilitation presents unique challenges, making it essential to align eHealth solutions with patients’ digital skills. The Quickscan Digital Skills (QDS) is a tool designed to help health care professionals match eHealth interventions to individual skill levels. Objective: This study aimed to explore the applicability of QDS by comparing it to self-reported digital skills and to gain insight into the digital skills of patients in geriatric rehabilitation. Methods: In this multicenter cross-sectional study, participants from 13 geriatric rehabilitation centers in the Netherlands completed a survey, including demographic questions, QDS, and a numeric rating scale (NRS) for self-reported digital skills. Participants were categorized into 3 skill levels (beginner, intermediate, and experienced) based on the cutoff points in QDS scores. Cutoff points were predetermined, guided by the information provided on QDS. Descriptive statistics for median age and frequencies for skill levels were calculated. Comparative analysis using a Kruskal-Wallis test assessed differences between QDS and NRS within these groups, and Spearman rank-order correlation examined the relationship between the two measures. To gain more insight into the different skill levels between groups, data were visualized and associations among age, gender, and digital skill levels were examined using ordinal logistic regression analysis. Results: A total of 463 patients (median age 78, IQR 12 years; 282/463, 60.9% female) participated in this study. Based on QDS scores, 42.1% (195/463) were classified as beginners, 19.4% (90/463) as intermediates, and 38.4% (178/463) as experienced users. A moderate positive correlation was found between QDS and NRS scores. Digital skills generally declined with age: 69.8% (37/53) of participants younger than 65 years were experienced users compared to only 13.2% (5/38) of those older than 91 years. A logistic regression analysis showed that increasing age was significantly associated with lower digital skill levels (odds ratio 0.93, 95% CI 0.92-0.95; P

Trends in Internet Infrastructure Development and Online Health Use in China: 10-Year Descriptive Longitudinal Study Background: Despite the rapid expansion of internet infrastructure and digital health initiatives in China, there remains a lack of longitudinal, nationally representative analyses that track the concurrent development of general internet access and the specific adoption of online health services over the past decade. Understanding these parallel trends is crucial for evaluating the reach and equity of the ongoing digital health transformation. Objective: The aim of this study was to describe decade-long trends in internet infrastructure development and online health service adoption in China through a comprehensive secondary analysis of nationally representative, publicly available survey data from 2014 to 2025. Methods: Data were retrieved from the official website of the China Internet Network Information Center for the period from June 2014 to June 2025. The study was conducted in 31 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities, excluding Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. The participants were citizens aged 6 years and older who had a telephone or mobile phone. The China Internet Network Information Center conducted a stratified 2-stage sampling survey using a computer-aided telephone access system. Results: From 2014 to 2025, an increasing trend was observed in the number of internet users and the internet penetration rate in China. It also showed an upward trend in the number of internet users, both in urban and rural areas. A consistent increasing trend was detected in the number of mobile internet users. In contrast, desktops and laptops showed a declining trend. The number of online health users in China showed a V-shaped change from 2020 to 2025. In June 2025, the total number of online medical users reached approximately 393 million, representing 35% of all internet users. Conclusions: This decade-long observational study demonstrates sustained and significant growth in internet access across China, accompanied by a substantial rise in online health service adoption. A notable V-shaped trajectory in online health use emerged after 2020, indicative of a rapid #covid19 pandemic–driven acceleration followed by market consolidation. The converging trends of near-universal smartphone-based access and the massive popularity of mobile-centric services, such as short videos, have fundamentally reshaped the digital landscape. Consequently, the findings suggest that for digital health strategies to achieve broad impact, policymakers and health care providers could consider prioritizing the integration of health promotion and services into existing high-penetration mobile platforms and communication formats that the population already uses daily.
