Objective: We conducted a detailed evaluation of user experience (UX) amongst persons who utilized an FDA-approved digital health feedback system (DHFS) incorporating ingestible sensors (IS) to capture medication adherence, after they were prescribed oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection. We then performed an association analysis with individual participant characteristics captured at baseline, to see if ‘personas’ associated with positive or negative UX emerged. Methods: UX data was collected upon exit from a prospective intervention study of HIV-negative adults prescribed oral PrEP who used the DHFS with ingestible sensor-enabled tenofovir disoproxil fumarate plus emtricitabine (IS-Truvada®). Baseline demographics, urine toxicology, and self-report questionnaires evaluating sleep (PSQI), self-efficacy, habitual self-control, HIV risk perception (PRHS 8-item), and depressive symptoms (PHQ-8) were obtained. Participants with ≥ 28 days on study completed a Likert-scale UX questionnaire of 27 questions grouped into 4 domain categories: Overall Experience, Ease of Use, Intention of Future Use, and Perceived Utility. Averages and interquartile range (IQR) were computed for participant total and domain sub-scores, and mixed-effects logistic regression modeled baseline participant characteristics associated with UX responses. Demographic characteristics of participants who responded to the questionnaire versus non-responders were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Results: Seventy-one participants enrolled with a mean age of 37.6 years (range 18-69), 90.1% male, 77.5% white, 33.8% Hispanic, 95.8% housed and 74.6% employed. No difference in demographics were observed in the 63 participants who persisted on the intervention for ≥28 days. Participants completing the detailed exit UX questionnaire (n= 53) were housed (98.1% vs 80%; p=0.063) and less likely to have a positive urine toxicology (35.3% vs 70%; p=0.075), particularly with methamphetamine (7.8% vs 40%; p=0.020), than non-completers (n=10). Based on IQR values 75% of participants had favorable UX with Total Score (IQR 3.17-4.20), mean(SD) 3.74 (0.70); Overall Experience (IQR 3.50-4.50), mean (SD) 3.89 (0.87); Ease of Use (IQR 3.33-4.22), mean (SD)=3.74 (0.65); and Perceived Utility (IQR 3.22-4.25), mean (SD)=3.73 (0.76). At least 50% of participants expressed Intention of Future Use (median=3.80, IQR 2.80-4.40). Following multi-predictor modeling self-efficacy was significantly associated with the total score 0.822 (0.405. 1.240) p<0.001, and all sub-scores.

Further, awareness of one’s own menstrual cycle patterns and associated symptoms can help individuals identify and manage conditions of the menstrual cycle such as premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD). Digital health products, and specifically menstrual health apps, have the potential to effect positive change due to their scalability and ease of access. <strong>Objective:</strong> The primary aim of this study was to measure the efficacy of a menstrual and reproductive health app, Flo, in improving health literacy and health and well-being outcomes in menstruating individuals with and without PMS and PMDD. Further, we explored the possibility that the use of the Flo app could positively influence feelings around reproductive health management and communication about health, menstrual cycle stigma, unplanned pregnancies, quality of life, work productivity, absenteeism, and body image. <strong>Methods:</strong> We conducted 2 pilot, 3-month, unblinded, 2-armed, remote randomized controlled trials on the effects of using the Flo app in a sample of US-based (1) individuals who track their cycles (n=321) or (2) individuals who track their cycles and are affected by PMS or PMDD (n=117). <strong>Results:</strong> The findings revealed significant improvements at the end of the study period compared to baseline for our primary outcomes of health literacy (cycle tracking: D̄=1.11; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=5.73, <i>P</i><.001; PMS or PMDD: D̄=1.20; <i>t</i><sub>115</sub>=3.76, <i>P</i><.001) and menstrual health awareness (D̄=3.97; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=7.71, <i>P</i><.001), health and well-being (D̄=3.44; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=5.94, <i>P</i><.001), and PMS or PMDD symptoms burden (D̄=–7.08; <i>t</i><sub>115</sub>=–5.44, <i>P</i><.001). Improvements were also observed for our secondary outcomes of feelings of control and management over health (D̄=1.01; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=5.08, <i>P</i><.001), communication about health (D̄=0.93; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=2.41, <i>P</i>=.002), menstrual cycle stigma (D̄=–0.61; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=–2.73, <i>P</i>=.007), and fear of unplanned pregnancies (D̄=–0.22; <i>t</i><sub>311</sub>=–2.11, <i>P</i>=.04) for those who track their cycles, as well as absenteeism from work and education due to PMS or PMDD (D̄=–1.67; <i>t</i><sub>144</sub>=–2.49, <i>P</i>=.01). <strong>Conclusions:</strong> These pilot randomized controlled trials demonstrate that the use of the Flo app improves menstrual health literacy and awareness, general health and well-being, and PMS or PMDD symptom burden. Considering the widespread use and affordability of the Flo app, these findings show promise for filling important gaps in current health care provisioning such as improving menstrual knowledge and health. <stron","PeriodicalId":14756,"journal":{"name":"JMIR mHealth and uHealth","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140838720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper presents a systematic review of research on digital applications based on behavioral therapies for people with KOA. <strong>Objective:</strong> This review aims to describe the characteristics of relevant digital applications, with a special focus on the current state of behavioral therapies, digital interaction technologies, and user participation in design. The secondary aim is to summarize intervention outcomes and user evaluations of digital applications. <strong>Methods:</strong> A systematic literature search was conducted using the keywords “Knee Osteoarthritis,” “Behavior Therapy,” and “Digitization” in the following databases (from January 2013 to July 2023): Web of Science, Embase, Science Direct, Ovid, and PubMed. The Mixed Methods Assessment Tool (MMAT) was used to assess the quality of evidence. Two researchers independently screened and extracted the data. <strong>Results:</strong> A total of 36 studies met the inclusion criteria and were further analyzed. Behavioral change techniques (BCTs) and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) were frequently combined when developing digital applications. The most prevalent areas were goals and planning (n=31) and repetition and substitution (n=27), which were frequently used to develop physical activity (PA) goals and adherence. The most prevalent combination strategy was app/website plus SMS text message/telephone/email (n=12), which has tremendous potential. This area of application design offers notable advantages, primarily manifesting in pain mitigation (n=24), reduction of physical dysfunction (n=21), and augmentation of PA levels (n=12). Additionally, when formulating design strategies, it is imperative to consider the perspectives of stakeholders, especially in response to the identified shortcomings in application design elucidated within the study. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> The results demonstrate that “goals and planning” and “repetition and substitution” are frequently used to develop PA goals and PA behavior adherence. The most prevalent combination strategy was app/website plus SMS text message/telephone/email, which has tremendous potential. Moreover, incorporating several stakeholders in the design and development stages might enhance user experience, considering the distinct variations in their requirements. To improve the efficacy and availability of digital applications, we have several proposals.

The current approach to detecting PPD relies on in-person postpartum visits, which contributes to underdiagnosis. Furthermore, recognizing PPD symptoms can be challenging. Therefore, we explored the potential of using digital biomarkers from consumer wearables for PPD recognition. <strong>Objective:</strong> The main goal of this study was to showcase the viability of using machine learning (ML) and digital biomarkers related to heart rate, physical activity, and energy expenditure derived from consumer-grade wearables for the recognition of PPD. <strong>Methods:</strong> Using the <i>All of Us</i> Research Program Registered Tier v6 data set, we performed computational phenotyping of women with and without PPD following childbirth. Intraindividual ML models were developed using digital biomarkers from Fitbit to discern between prepregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum without depression, and postpartum with depression (ie, PPD diagnosis) periods. Models were built using generalized linear models, random forest, support vector machine, and k-nearest neighbor algorithms and evaluated using the κ statistic and multiclass area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (mAUC) to determine the algorithm with the best performance. The specificity of our individualized ML approach was confirmed in a cohort of women who gave birth and did not experience PPD. Moreover, we assessed the impact of a previous history of depression on model performance. We determined the variable importance for predicting the PPD period using Shapley additive explanations and confirmed the results using a permutation approach. Finally, we compared our individualized ML methodology against a traditional cohort-based ML model for PPD recognition and compared model performance using sensitivity, specificity, precision, recall, and <i>F</i><sub>1</sub>-score. <strong>Results:</strong> Patient cohorts of women with valid Fitbit data who gave birth included <20 with PPD and 39 without PPD. Our results demonstrated that intraindividual models using digital biomarkers discerned among prepregnancy, pregnancy, postpartum without depression, and postpartum with depression (ie, PPD diagnosis) periods, with random forest (mAUC=0.85; κ=0.80) models outperforming generalized linear models (mAUC=0.82; κ=0.74), support vector machine (mAUC=0.75; κ=0.72), and k-nearest neighbor (mAUC=0.74; κ=0.62). Model performance decreased in women without PPD, illustrating the method’s specificity. Previous depression history did not impact the efficacy of the model for PPD recognition.

One type of wearable is a smart t-shirt with embedded sensors. Initially, the smart t-shirts were designed to aid athletes in their performance analysis but with an ambition to be a supportive tool in health care. In general, the knowledge of the use of wearables for symptom monitoring during cancer treatment is limited, and consensus and awareness about compliance or adherence are sparse. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adherence and patient experience of using a smart t-shirt for home monitoring of biometric sensor data in adolescents and young adults (AYA) undergoing cancer treatment during a two-week period. Methods Methods: The study was a prospective, single-cohort, mixed-method feasibility study. Inclusion criteria were patients ≥18-39 years receiving treatment at Copenhagen University Hospital, Rigshospitalet, D.K. Consenting patients were asked to wear the ChronolifeTM smart t-shirt for a period of two weeks. The smart t-shirt has multiple sensors and electrodes, which engender six measurements: ECG, thoracic and abdominal respiration, thoracic impedance, physical activity (steps), and skin temperature. The primary endpoint was adherence, defined as wear time > 8 hours/day. The patient experience was investigated in individual semi-structured telephone interviews and a paper questionnaire. Results: Ten patients were included. Wear time >8 h/d during the study period (14 days) varied between 0-6 days, mean 2 days. Three patients had a mean wear time >8 h/d during their days with data registration. Days with any data registration were 0-10, mean 6.4 days. The thematic analysis of interviews pointed to three main themes: 1) The smart t-shirt is cool but does not fit cancer patients; 2) The technology limits the use of the smart t-shirt; and 3) Monitoring of data increases the safety feeling. Results from the questionnaire showed that the patients generally had confidence in the device. Conclusions: Although the primary endpoint was not reached, the patients’ experience using the smart t-shirt led to the knowledge that patients acknowledged the need for new technologies for improved supportive care in cancer. The patients were positive when asked to wear the smart t-shirt. However, technical and practical challenges in using the device led to low adherence. Although wearables might have a potential for home monitoring, the present technology is immature for clinical use.","PeriodicalId":14756,"journal":{"name":"JMIR mHealth and uHealth","volume":"47 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140838721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We included articles with intervention groups that investigated the effects of mHealth-based apps on PA and PF among children and adolescents. Due to high heterogeneity, a meta-analysis was conducted using a random effects model. The Cochrane Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to evaluate the risk of bias. Subgroup analysis and meta-regression analyses were performed to identify potential influences impacting effect sizes. <strong>Results:</strong> We included 28 RCTs with a total of 5643 participants. In general, the risk of bias of included studies was low.

Overall, no evidence for meaningful and statistically significant increases in PA and HE levels of the intervention were observed in our physically active study participants (all &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&gt;.30). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; Despite incorporating behavior change techniques rooted in family life and psychological theories, the SF intervention did not yield significant increases in PA and HE levels among the participants. The results of the study were mainly limited by the physically active participants and the large age range of children and adolescents. Enhancing intervention effectiveness may involve incorporating health literacy, just-in-time adaptive interventions, and more advanced features in future app development.

Secondary prevention is essential, as it reduces the risk of further coronary events. Mobile health (mHealth) technology could become a useful tool to improve lifestyles. &lt;strong&gt;Objective:&lt;/strong&gt; This study aimed to evaluate the effect of an mHealth intervention on people with coronary heart disease who received percutaneous coronary intervention. Improvements in lifestyle regarding diet, physical activity, and smoking; level of knowledge of a healthy lifestyle and the control of cardiovascular risk factors (CVRFs); and therapeutic adherence and quality of life were analyzed. &lt;strong&gt;Methods:&lt;/strong&gt; This was a randomized controlled trial with a parallel group design assigned 1:1 to either an intervention involving a smartphone app (mHealth group) or to standard health care (control group). The app was used for setting aims, the self-monitoring of lifestyle and CVRFs using measurements and records, educating people with access to information on their screens about healthy lifestyles and adhering to treatment, and giving motivation through feedback about achievements and aspects to improve. Both groups were assessed after 9 months. The primary outcome variables were adherence to the Mediterranean diet, frequency of food consumed, patient-reported physical activity, smoking, knowledge of healthy lifestyles and the control of CVRFs, adherence to treatment, quality of life, well-being, and satisfaction. &lt;strong&gt;Results:&lt;/strong&gt; The study analyzed 128 patients, 67 in the mHealth group and 61 in the control group; most were male (92/128, 71.9%), with a mean age of 59.49 (SD 8.97) years. Significant improvements were observed in the mHealth group compared with the control group regarding adherence to the Mediterranean diet (mean 11.83, SD 1.74 points vs mean 10.14, SD 2.02 points; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;.001), frequency of food consumption, patient-reported physical activity (mean 619.14, SD 318.21 min/week vs mean 471.70, SD 261.43 min/week; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=.007), giving up smoking (25/67, 75% vs 11/61, 42%; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=.01), level of knowledge of healthy lifestyles and the control of CVRFs (mean 118.70, SD 2.65 points vs mean 111.25, SD 9.05 points; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;&lt;.001), and the physical component of the quality of life 12-item Short Form survey (SF-12; mean 45.80, SD 10.79 points vs mean 41.40, SD 10.78 points; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=.02). Overall satisfaction was higher in the mHealth group (mean 48.22, SD 3.89 vs mean 46.00, SD 4.82 points; &lt;i&gt;P&lt;/i&gt;=.002) and app satisfaction and usability were high (mean 44.38, SD 6.18 out of 50 points and mean 95.22, SD 7.37 out of 100). &lt;strong&gt;Conclusions:&lt;/strong&gt; The EVITE app was effective in improving the lifestyle of patients in terms of adherence to the Mediterranean diet, frequency of healthy food consumption, physical activity, giving up smoking, knowledge of healthy lifestyles and controlling CVRFs, quality of life, and overall sat","PeriodicalId":14756,"journal":{"name":"JMIR mHealth and uHealth","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140636416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
