Mobile Phone Applications for Diet and Weight Controljetweedy
This document outlines a presentation on obesity and self-monitoring mobile apps. It discusses how obesity has doubled globally since 1980 and is a major health problem. Self-monitoring apps allow users to track food intake, physical activity, and weight over time. The document examines features of these apps, such as inputting diet and exercise data and outputting nutrition assessments. However, many apps lack evidence-based content and scientific validation of their effectiveness. Some research studies are highlighted that have found mobile apps can help with weight loss when combined with support from dietitians and personalized recommendations.
This document discusses the use of visual analytics in healthcare. It provides three case studies of using visual analytics: 1) supporting chronic headache patients by providing interactive visualizations of daily activities and their impact on conditions, 2) maintaining sepsis data dashboards through automated processes to allow robust visualizations of sepsis processes and outcomes, and 3) creating an interactive analytic injury dashboard to empower stakeholders to synthesize information to strengthen child injury surveillance, prevention and research. Visual analytics transforms raw data into meaningful information by making data accessible and helping address information overload.
Health Informatics Mobile Health, Telemedicine, and the Consumerjetweedy
Health informatics involves the use of information technology and systems to deliver healthcare. Mobile health or mHealth uses mobile devices to improve health outcomes through platforms like mobile apps and sensors. Telemedicine uses technology to provide remote healthcare services and overcome geographical barriers. Consumers are increasingly using mobile apps, fitness trackers, and online resources for health information. However, challenges include issues with costs, privacy, user-friendliness, and low health literacy.
This document discusses consumer health wearables such as activity trackers and discusses their usefulness, limitations, and challenges. Wearables can help monitor chronic conditions and activity levels but have limitations in accuracy and reliability. Many users stop using devices after 6 months and behavioral changes may not be sustained long-term. Further research is still needed to validate data and standardize monitoring methods while also addressing privacy and regulatory issues.
Virtual tumor boards for remote patient oncologyJim Smurro
The document discusses improving cancer clinical trials through networked virtual tumor boards. It notes that multi-specialist team collaborations can boost recruitment and retention of patients for multi-site adaptive clinical trials. This improves treatment and care for remote, rural, and underserved patient populations. Virtual tumor boards allow specialists from different locations to collaborate on patient cases, which strengthens clinical trials and patient outcomes.
Mobile apps have become widely used in healthcare, with over 13,000 medical apps available. They have the potential to improve clinical trials by allowing patients to report data and adverse events in real-time without visiting research facilities. This could provide researchers with higher quality data for understanding diseases. Mobile apps may also enable more effective risk management programs and information delivery to patients and healthcare providers. However, validating mobile apps for use in pharmaceutical research and development is important to ensure data quality.
This study found that a mobile health application had high quality structure and organization, reliable and relevant multimedia content that could inform the public on health questions, and its further development was supported to help in health emergencies. Medical professionals would recommend its use to patients and others, which could help popularize quality, reliable health apps.

Predictive Analytics Help Achieve the Triple Aimjetweedy
The document discusses how predictive analytics can help achieve the Triple Aim of improving patient experience of care, improving population health, and reducing per capita costs. It describes different types of predictive models that can identify high-risk patients for proactive intervention, such as models predicting disease progression, hospitalization, death, and healthcare expenditures. Examples of successful predictive models and interventions for conditions like heart failure, COPD, diabetes, and CKD are provided. The document concludes that predictive modeling can aid in reducing spending, increasing patient satisfaction, and improving overall population health as part of the Triple Aim.
The document summarizes a health information literacy pilot project conducted from April to June 2008. The project gathered data from administrators and healthcare providers on their perceived value of consumer health resources and librarians' roles in promoting health literacy. Nine sites in the US and Canada participated that did not currently offer consumer health services. The project implemented training sessions and distributed literature at one site to approximately 150 healthcare providers to raise awareness of libraries' roles in patient education and the benefits of health information literacy. Overall, the project had positive outcomes in raising such awareness at the participating medical library and clinic.

It will also use questionnaires and focus groups to identify factors influencing adoption of safe patient handling programs. The combined qualitative and quantitative results will be used to recommend practice changes to reduce injuries and guide safe patient handling policies.
CJAL Diabetes Social Media Quad Chart 110115David Donohue
This document proposes a pilot research project to use social media (blog, Twitter, YouTube, and Facebook) to increase participation and understanding of diabetes self-management education among high-risk diabetic patients at VA hospitals. The goal is to build online tools to engage these patients, measure results through medical records, and improve compliance with treatment regimens. It aims to test if social media can create new communication channels between patients and providers and enhance access to healthcare. The technical approach involves using these digital platforms for education and analyzing patient data to measure the impact on health outcomes over time.
This document discusses the importance of building a patient-centric hospital website. It notes that 72% of internet users looked online for health information in the past year and 77% began their search at a search engine. It recommends that hospital websites serve actual patient needs by allowing them to schedule appointments, find referrals, fill prescriptions, learn about treatment options, and find information about doctors. The top 10 most patient-centric hospital websites, as determined by a study, are also listed.

Academic Purposes Only
The New War on Bugs: Crafting an Effective Antibiotic Stewardship Program
More than half of all hospital patients are treated with antibiotics and prescribing practices vary widely, even within hospitals. Efforts to rationalize antibiotic use have been stymied by delays in obtaining specific diagnoses, by the volume of prescriptions written each day and by the difficulty of extracting meaningful data from scattered clinical, laboratory and pharmacy records. But the push is on – from the White House, the CDC, infectious disease specialists, the industry – for more judicious use of antibiotics through antibiotic stewardship programs.
Hear how leading health care institutions have moved from education to active surveillance to intervention, reducing infections and lowering costs.

How to Implement the Digital Medicine in the FutureYoon Sup Choi
Digital Pathologist uses image analysis to extract quantitative features from digitized pathology slides to predict cancer survival. It segments images into epithelial and stromal regions and measures thousands of morphological features. These include standard metrics like nuclear size as well as higher-level relationships between image objects. Models are trained on annotated slides from cancer patients with known survival outcomes. The system was able to build a prognostic model from one dataset and validate it on a separate, independent dataset, identifying novel image-based features associated with survival in the process. This automated digital pathology approach could help standardize quantitative analysis and uncover new biological insights compared to traditional visual examination alone.

Look back at the year that was in digital health and understand that he future is now.
Digital Medicine Acceleration: The Promise of Learning Health SystemsMedullan
This was presented at the Panagora Pharma Clinical Trials Patient Experience Summit.
In Learning Health Systems (LHSs), practice influences research and research influences practice. This makes LHSs the new frontier for adaptive clinical trials and the harbinger of what's to come in a patient-centered clinical development world. Many organizations still struggle with sufficient understanding and experience with digital medicine. Few commercial examples exist where a product has gone through the entire clinical development life cycle - a life cycle which is rampart with barriers to innovation. By leveraging the rise of LHSs and Adaptive Learning Studies, both biopharmaceutical companies and academic research centers can cross the chasm and accomplish what patient engagement can do for clinical development: faster, cheaper, and more efficacious outcomes. For researchers, it is a dream come true. For traditional CROs, it is a challenge.
The document discusses enabling patients to access their electronic health records. It notes that doing so can help rebuild trust after a high-profile murder case, as patients are able to verify their records. It describes building partnerships with patients by giving them online access to records, appointments, and medical information through a patient portal. Studies show patient record access improves communication, patient outcomes and satisfaction. The document advocates a blended approach combining patient access with tools like HealthSpace and Google Health.

The explosion in the number of applications (apps) designed for the medical and wellness sectors has been noted by many. Recently we have seen increased presence of truly medical apps, in addition to consumer health and wellbeing apps, designed for clinical professionals and patients with medical conditions.
Consumer based mHealth apps typically allow people to do old things in new ways, such as recording health measures digitally rather than on paper. We see this also with medical apps, where increases in the quality and efficiency of existing health care models provide clinical staff with digital tools that replace paper based documentation. In rare and exciting cases we are also seeing mHealth applications that are doing things in entirely new ways to drive real innovation in health care delivery through mobile devices.
The aim of the tutorial is to highlight real world, high impact mobile research that is relevant to the key discipline of Mobile HCI. Thus, the tutorial will be application rather than academically focused. The tutorial will highlight the wide range of mHealth applications available that go far beyond trackers and behavior change tools and encourage researchers to look beyond consumer applications in their research. Four key areas of mHealth applications will be covered including Apps for the HealthyWell, mHealth in Hospitals, Practice and Clinical Apps and Patient Apps and will cover applications for health assessment, treatment and triage, behavior change, chronic illness, mental health, adolescent health, rehabilitation and age care with a focus on the need for rigorous evaluation and efficacy analysis.

The top 3 solutions identified to engage patients were: 1) a clinical trial finder for patients to inform them of available trials, 2) virtual clinical trials conducted entirely online, and 3) tools to personalize clinical trials to individual patient needs/preferences. The document reviews several companies providing these types of solutions and proposes an experiment partnering with a CRO to test if a digital intervention increases patient enrollment and retention in a clinical trial compared to a control group without a digital intervention.

ISSCR Guidelines for Stem Cell Science and Clinical Translationms emporda
This document provides guidelines for stem cell science and clinical translation from the International Society for Stem Cell Research (ISSCR). It was prepared by a task force of 25 experts from 9 countries, chaired by bioethicist Jonathan Kimmelman. The guidelines are dedicated to the memory of Paolo Bianco, a pioneering stem cell researcher and task force member who passed away during the revision process. The guidelines cover fundamental ethical principles, laboratory research involving human embryos and related activities, clinical translation of stem cells including preclinical and clinical research, medical innovation, and regulatory approval.
The document discusses the Query Health initiative, which aims to establish standards and services for distributed population queries of clinical records to enable a national "learning health system." It describes some pilots that are launching this summer and fall to test querying data from various sources like public health departments and the FDA to understand population health metrics and drug safety. The document advocates that implementing distributed population queries following common standards can improve using health IT to benefit patients and populations by aggregating and analyzing vast health data in real-time.

Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
My Facilityl is focused on providing quality healthcare to all patients regardless of their differences.
The facility is has a culture of embracing change as long as it helps in improving the patients’ health outcomes.
However, since our hospital is a community-based health service facility, there are some of things that need to be changed.
The healthcare facility offers cancer services including screening and management services. Screening is offered to the community occasionally when the facility organizes cancer awareness where they get more cancer professionals from other hospitals to help provide screening services to the people.
Recommending an Evidence-Based Practice Change
The problem facing the healthcare facility currently is the lack of cancer screening awareness among the community members and enough oncologists.
Cancer screening services require advanced technology and machines to ensure detection and diagnosis of cancer.
Cancer is one of the top diseases causing high mortality rates around the world presently.
The federal and national government are the .

Digital Medicine Brochure 2015
1. Overview
A thoughtful exploration of the clinical evidence necessary to drive
the widespread uptake of mobile health solutions will be the focus
of the first Scripps Health Digital Medicine conference. Currently
there is a paucity of clinical trial data investigating the role of mobile
health, although this evidence is critically necessary if it is to achieve
its potential to transform care. There is a clear need for a forum to
present, discuss and debate clinical trial evidence and how to best
obtain it in order to accelerate change. This one-of-its-kind, interac-tive
conference will be led by a faculty composed of leaders in this
burgeoning field with a mix of developers, investigators and provid-ers.
The principal goal of the conference is to jumpstart efforts to
drive the widespread incorporation of evidence-based mobile health
solutions for more-personalized, individual-centric care to improve
outcomes, advance satisfaction and decrease costs.
