This document discusses a study that assessed a 6-week prevention program combining online and in-person modules. The program was tested in one city with 83 participants and aimed to improve health and increase social interaction through a mobile app. Results found that the program reached those not typically engaged in prevention, and that most participants made lifestyle changes and continued interacting after the program. The conclusion is that information and communication technologies can effectively enhance human interaction and quality of life when integrated into health prevention programs.

- Telehealth/mHealth approaches show promise for improving HIV care and prevention, including PrEP. Pilot studies found mHealth interventions increased PrEP adherence and engagement in care. However, more research is needed to ensure mHealth PrEP does not worsen disparities.
- A proposed study would use a mobile app/software to initiate and provide PrEP through telehealth visits, assess acceptability, and identify factors predicting adherence or "PrEP fatigue". The goal is to expand scalable mHealth PrEP programs while avoiding increased disparities. More research on optimal candidates and real-world use is still needed.

Ethical Considerations and Checklist for Affective Research with WearablesMaciej Behnke
As the popularity of wearables increases, so does their utility for studying emotions. Using new technologies points to several ethical challenges to be considered to improve research designs. There are several ethical recommendations for utilizing wearables to study human emotions, but they focus on emotion recognition systems applications rather than research design and implementation. To address this gap, we have developed a perspective on wearables, especially in daily life, adapting the ReCODE Health-Digital Health Framework and companion checklist. Therefore, our framework consists of four domains: (1) participation experience, (2) privacy, (3) data management, and (4) access and usability. We identified 33 primary risks of using wearables to study emotions, including research-related negative emotions, collecting, processing, storing, sharing personal and biological information, commercial technology validity and reliability, and exclusivity issues. We also proposed possible strategies for minimizing risks. We consulted the new ethical guidelines with members of ethics committees and relevant researchers. The judges (N = 26) positively rated our solutions and provided useful feedback that helped us refine our guidance. Finally, we summarized our proposals with a checklist for researchers' convenience. Our guidelines contribute to future research by providing improved protection of participants' and scientists' interests.

NHS Improving Quality and NHS England are working nationally with the Academic Health Science Networks to provide support and opportunities for the Collaboratives to learn from each other, ensuring the most effective and successful solutions are rapidly spread and adopted across England.
For the next five years, each Collaborative will support individuals, teams and organisations to build skills and knowledge about patient safety and quality improvement to create space and time to work on the challenges, and provide opportunities to learn from each other.
The programme is borne out of Professor Don Berwick's report last year into the safety of patients in England and builds on learning from the Francis and Winterbourne View recommendations. The report, A Promise to Learn - a commitment to act, made a series of recommendations to improve patient safety; and called for the NHS ''to become, more than ever before, a system devoted to continual learning and improvement of patient care, top to bottom and end to end.'
Aligned with and supporting the 'Sign up to Safety' campaign, the programme aims to make the NHS the safest healthcare system in the world by creating the culture to support a system devoted to continuous learning and improvement.

ABSTRACT
An increasing number of pervasive healthcare systems are be-
ing designed, that allow people to monitor and get feedback
on their health and wellness. To address the challenges of
self-management of mental illnesses, we have developed the
MONARCA system – a personal monitoring system for bipo-
lar patients. We conducted a 14 week field trial in which
12 patients used the system, and we report findings focus-
ing on their experiences. The results were positive; compared
to using paper-based forms, the adherence to self-assessment
improved; the system was considered very easy to use; and
the perceived usefulness of the system was high. Based on
this study, the paper discusses three HCI questions related to
the design of personal health technologies; how to design for
disease awareness and self-treatment, how to ensure adher-
ence to personal health technologies, and the roles of different
types of technology platforms.

INTRODUCTION
According to WHO, mental illness is one of the most pressing
healthcare concerns worldwide [34]. Bipolar disorder in par-
ticular, has a community lifetime prevalence of 4% [16] and
is associated with high morbidity and disability [25]. Per-
sonal health technologies hold promise for helping bipolar
patients to monitor their mood patterns and symptoms, rec-
ognize so-called ‘early warning signs’, and to handle medica-
tion. Health technologies can – based on subjective and ob-
jective sensor input – provide timely feedback to the patient
and thereby increase their awareness of the disease. Smart-
phones are a promising platform for such personal feedback
systems due to their ubiquitous availability and connectivity.

The APTIC social network has been developed by the PSINET research group at the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya, in collaboration with Hospital de St. Joan de Déu and the Fesalud Foundation. The network aims at enabling the individual members of patients’ associations (mostly parents of children with chronic and rare diseases) to share experiences, information, resources and advice.
In parallel, we created a group on Facebook (APTIC Facebook Group) to publicize the network and analyse differences in the use of the two platforms (APTIC Social Network vs. APTIC Facebook Group)

Rare diseases affect over 30 million people in the European Union, with each disease impacting less than 1 in 2000 citizens. Rare diseases show a broad diversity of disorders and varying symptoms, both between diseases and among patients of the same disease, making diagnosis difficult. Social media presents an opportunity for people with rare diseases to connect with others and help increase understanding of their long-tail conditions.
Este documento describe el potencial de las redes colaborativas de pacientes con enfermedades crónicas. Señala que los pacientes (llamados "epacientes") están cada vez más involucrados en su propia salud a través del uso de Internet y las redes sociales. Comparten conocimientos e información sobre sus enfermedades con otros pacientes y profesionales, lo que puede generar nuevos conocimientos útiles para la investigación biomédica. También destaca iniciativas como Patientslikeme que funcionan como comunidades virtuales donde los pacientes se
Algunas reflexiones sobre el futuro de la eSaludManuel Armayones
El documento habla sobre el futuro de la salud digital (eSalud). Predice que los principales actores serán los propios usuarios (pacientes, profesionales e investigadores) y que habrá un movimiento hacia modelos más horizontales con el apoyo de profesionales. Los pacientes participarán activamente compartiendo conocimientos y datos para generar nuevo conocimiento para la investigación médica. Se referencia teóricamente a la "Salud 2.0", comunidades de salud en línea, redes sociales y la inteligencia colectiva.

El documento habla sobre el concepto de eSalud. Define eSalud como un campo emergente que surge de la intersección entre la informática médica, la salud pública y los negocios, relacionado con los servicios sanitarios y la información proporcionada a través de Internet. También introduce el concepto de "e-paciente" como una persona interesada en su salud que usa intensivamente las tecnologías para cuidarse, colaborar con su equipo médico y participar en el sistema de salud.
Online communities as a vehicle to improving interactions between patients an...Manuel Armayones
This document discusses using online communities to improve interactions between patients and medical professionals. It notes the gap between patients and doctors/hospitals and proposes a bridge in the form of personally controlled health records. The document also summarizes feedback from patient associations who want a customized online platform to share experiences and collaborate with doctors, but have concerns about privacy, costs, and clinical data use.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

8 Surprising Reasons To Meditate 40 Minutes A Day That Can Change Your Life.pptxHolistified Wellness
We’re talking about Vedic Meditation, a form of meditation that has been around for at least 5,000 years. Back then, the people who lived in the Indus Valley, now known as India and Pakistan, practised meditation as a fundamental part of daily life. This knowledge that has given us yoga and Ayurveda, was known as Veda, hence the name Vedic. And though there are some written records, the practice has been passed down verbally from generation to generation.
These lecture slides, by Dr Sidra Arshad, offer a quick overview of the physiological basis of a normal electrocardiogram.
