Introduction: Advances in information technology have caused fundamental changes in life and work environments. As digital technologies such as smartphones become more ubiquitous, individuals can engage in self-monitoring and self-care and gain more control over their health trajectories across the life course. Education and gender are two important components in the use of mobile health applications. Education is effective in the amount and manner of using mobile applications, and gender plays a major role in virtual setting, especially in mobile applications, in contrast to physical presence in hospitals and clinicsMethods: This applied study was carried out with a descriptive-quantitative method in the form of a case study among users of the Snap Doctor mobile application. To collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire based on available random sampling and inferential statistics methods, including tests of significance and especially correlation based on confirmatory structural equationswere used.Results: Inadequate information communication technology infrastructure was the major obstacle for telemedicine, followed by cultural resistance in using technology to provide healthcare services. Other significant barriers are like this: the high cost of setting up prerequisite (initial) skills among patients, limited skills among physicians, inadequate funding to support telemedicine services, weak legal/policy framework, and lack of dedicated time for telemedicine services.Conclusion: The results showed that the existence of appropriate communication infrastructure and efforts to promote the infrastructure and increase the investment of companies and organizations in the field of telemedicine can increase the participation of users in the use of telemedicine services.

Introduction: The great interest in cosmetic surgeries and the possible risks of these types of surgeries make it necessary to pay attention to health literacy for the applicants of these types of surgeries in order to evaluate and make correct decisions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to evaluate the level of health literacy of cosmetic surgery applicantsMethods: The research method is cross-sectional. The research sample includes 189 applicants for cosmetic surgery referring to Hazrat Fatemeh Teaching Hospital in Tehran, and the Iranian Adult Health Literacy Questionnaire (HELIA) was used to collect the data. Descriptive statistics and U-Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests were used for data analysis.Results: The average health literacy of the participants was higher than the average of the questionnaire. The highest average is related to the understanding component (85.65) and the lowest average is related to access (76.60). There is a significant relationship between the average level of health literacy of women and men in the dimension of understanding and the average of health literacy. Also, there is a significant relationship between the level of health literacy and the level of education. Applicants with a higher education degree also have a higher level of health literacy. Also, the most sources of obtaining health information for applicants is the Internet (40.74 percent).Conclusion: Although according to the results of the research, the health literacy level of the cosmetic surgery applicants was above average, but it is necessary to provide the necessary training on promoting health literacy among different groups, especially people with low literacy levels. Also, it is necessary to provide valid educational and advertising brochures in health and treatment centers for applicants
