The study found that users expect diseases to be categorized differently than clinical definitions. It recommends linking diseases from their expected categories to the clinical home category. Definitions should be provided for categories. Parents and non-parents had some differences in expectations, while web users and patient panelists differed more, suggesting intercepting web users for web behavior studies.

The Digital Clinic for Neurodevelopmental and related mental disorders designed and dedicated to children and adolescents.
Neurodevelopmental disorders and associated mental health disturbances constitute the 1st major health condition in youth. Today, 1 out of 6 children have neurodevelopmental disorders and associated mental health disturbances. However, only 8% are diagnosed and 6% pursue therapies due to complex clinical diagnostic, a shortage of health practitioners and high costs.
We develop holistic e-assessment and monitoring applications, that rely on digital epidemiology and combine gamification, biomarkers and emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence to help diagnosis and therapeutic orientation.
We bring cutting-edge technologies beyond the labs to unlock brain development in children and adolescents. These technologies underlying our innovations have been around for decades, but only now with O-Kidia, children, parents and healthcare practitioners can access and benefit from them.
Similarly to a blood test result, we want our solutions to substitute the current questionnaires but not the health practitioner's expertise to save time, guide towards the most relevant therapy/practitioners, and be cost-effective.

Medical Utopias: The Promise of Emerging TechnologiesAlex Tang
Medical utopias are often about good health, absence of suffering, and even delaying of the aging process. The last two decades have seen a tremendous increase in emerging medical technologies to achieve these utopias. The completion of the sequencing of the human genome sets the stage for the next step of genetic and molecular advances. The increase in computing power, storage capacity, connectivity, and the Internet has opened avenues of new diagnostic and therapeutic modalities. The perfecting of sustaining cell growth in vitro and cell nucleus transfer has opened the way to cloning, stem cell harvesting, and a new field of regenerative medicine. However, these emerging technologies bring with them a large number of bioethical concerns that need to be addressed. These concerns involving tissue engineering, bioelectronics, new genetics, cloning, gene therapy, germ-line genome modifications are only the tip of the iceberg. In this paper I will reflect on three areas of concern. Firstly, the emergence of the digital patient will be considered. This digital patient will be deeply formed and informed by health information technology (IT), the social media, and issues involving privacy, confidentiality and data security. Secondly, the direct to customers (DTC) genetic screening tests will be discussed. The ethical issue of buccal swabs taken at home and be tested for genetic diseases and future prediction of other illnesses which is marketed directly to the consumers will be examined. Finally, the development of new pharmaco-therapeutics will be explored. There have been changes in the way new drugs are tested and these changes do raise some ethical concerns. The examination of these ethical issues will be done in the framework of respect for autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, and justice.
How to Think Straight- Cognitive Debiasing Pat CroskerrySMACC Conference
"How to think straight: Cognitive de-biasing by Pat Croskerry
The number of preventable deaths of hospitalized patients in the US each year is estimated at 40,000- 80,000. The figure for the ICU alone is estimated at 40,000 so the death rate must be in the higher end of the range. When settings outside the hospital are taken into account (ED, primary care), the overall number must be considerably higher.
While many factors contribute to diagnostic failure, a variety of sources suggest that physician’s thinking has a lot to do with it. Dual Process Theory describes how the brain makes decisions in one of two modes: through fast, unconscious, intuitive processes (System 1) or through slower, conscious, analytical processes (System 2). Mental short-cuts (heuristics) and biases are predominantly located in the intuitive mode where we spend most of our conscious time, and this is where the majority of decision failures occur. Thinking straight essentially means achieving a good balance between System 1 and System 2 decision making, and much of our cognitive effort needs to go into monitoring what our unconscious brains are doing in System 1. This is referred to by a variety of terms: metacognition, reflection, mindfulness, and others. They all involve cognitive de-coupling from System 1 and characterize the process of cognitive de-biasing. This is not easily accomplished in the ED or any environment where decision density is often high, throughput pressure exists, resources may be limited, and where decision makers may be fatigued and/or sleep deprived.
While medicine has acquired a variety of strategies over the years for de-biasing clinicians, added benefits can be obtained by developing specific mindware to tackle particular biases. Clinicians need to be aware of the operating characteristics of the dual process model of decision making, of the prevalence and nature of biases, and of how to apply and sustain de-biasing mindware in their decision making.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

27. Summary
• Each disease should reside in the clinical home, but links (in accordions) from
its participant-chosen significant categories.*
• The category accordions should include definitions of each category
• “Lungs, Breathing, & Allergies” to define “Pulmonary”
• The “Specialties” section on .org should leverage the findings of this study:
• Include category definitions
• Cross reference when appropriate
• Be mindful when using realistic screenshots in tutorials
• 60% of web users are medical professionals on Children’s Hospital site
• When conducting a study about web behaviors, consider intercepting web users
instead of patient panelists.
• Results were twice the difference compared to parent v.s. non-parent
• Consider including non-parent & minors in future studies:
• Children can be the dominating computer users at home, hence qualify as target users.
• Parent v.s. non-parent: despite the age difference, how they find health information is
relatively similar.

Tree Jack
• This study assumes “how people file
information away” is “how people
retrieve information”.
• Future studies should consider:
1. tree-jack instead of closed-card
sort. This study couldn’t, due to
the vendor’s software limitation
on number of cards shown to
each participant.
2. including a “I don’t know”

once they start putting cards in categories, the page becomes longer,
and users lost track of the categories below the fold. Hence skew the
result.
2. Participants have an (compulsive?) urge to fill each category with at
least one card. Hence skew the result.
3. Participants paid more attention to the categories on the top left. When
debating between two categories, they tend to pick the one closer to
the top left (shorter distance of drag and drop). Hence skew the result.
