Unlike conventional approaches that rely on pooled data from diverse individuals, our study explores the strategy of intentionally overfitting models to personal data and subsequently applying a transfer learning technique to refine performance for each user. We predicted Next-Day Condition (NDC) and Next-Day Emotion (NDC) while considering diverse features such as physical activity, sleep patterns, environmental context, and self-reported measures. Initial experiments showed that models trained at the sample level performed better on evaluation data but failed to generalize effectively during external validation. In contrast, our personalized learning approach, initiated with a pre-trained model, significantly enhanced accuracy within ten days of incremental user-specific training. Although generalization across the entire cohort diminished after individual tailoring, extended individualized training increased the overall predictive accuracy for each participant's personal data. The interpretation of feature importance using Shapley's additive explanations revealed substantial variability in the features influencing predictions across individuals, emphasizing the need for tailored health models. These findings highlight the potential of combining intentional overfitting and transfer learning in constructing high-performance user-specific predictive models from wearable data.

In this study, our aims to describe the design, development and usability evaluation process of a management platform (Hyper-DREAM) for hypertension. Our multidisciplinary team employed an iterative design approach over the course of a year to develop the Hyper-DREAM platform. This platform's primary functionalities encompass multimodal data collection (personal hypertensive digital phenotype archive), multimodal interventions (BP measurement, medication assistance, behavior modification, and hypertension education) and multimodal interactions (clinician-patient engagement and BP Coach component). In August 2024, the mHealth App Usability Questionnaire (MAUQ) was conducted involving 51 hypertensive patients recruited from three distinct centers. In parallel, six clinicians engaged in management activities and contributed feedback via the Doctor's Software Satisfaction Questionnaire (DSSQ). Concurrently, a real-world comparative experiment was conducted to evaluate the usability of the BP Coach, ChatGPT-4o Mini, ChatGPT-4o and clinicians. The comparative experiment demonstrated that the BP Coach achieved significantly higher scores in utility (mean scores 4.05, SD 0.87) and completeness (mean scores 4.12, SD 0.78) when compared to ChatGPT-4o Mini, ChatGPT-4o, and clinicians. In terms of clarity, the BP Coach was slightly lower than clinicians (mean scores 4.03, SD 0.88). In addition, the BP Coach exhibited lower performance in conciseness (mean scores 3.00, SD 0.96). Clinicians reported a marked improvement in work efficiency (2.67 vs. 4.17, P < .001) and experienced faster and more effective patient interactions (3.0 vs. 4.17, P = .004). Furthermore, the Hyper-DREAM platform significantly decreased work intensity (2.5 vs. 3.5, P = .01) and minimized disruptions to daily routines (2.33 vs. 3.55, P = .004). The Hyper-DREAM platform demonstrated significantly greater overall satisfaction compared to the WeChat-based standard management (3.33 vs. 4.17, P = .01). Additionally, clinicians exhibited a markedly higher willingness to integrate the Hyper-DREAM platform into clinical practice (2.67 vs. 4.17, P < .001). Furthermore, patient management time decreased from 11.5 min (SD 1.87) with Wechat-based standard management to 7.5 min (SD 1.84, P = .01) with Hyper-DREAM.

The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and New Technologies is paramount in this project to enable personalized patient care and optimize perioperative clinical pathways. We read with interest the manuscript by Parks et al., which developed a predictive model of surgical case durations. The model appears to adopt a pragmatic approach by analyzing tangible variables and undergoing validation across various types of surgical procedures, which suggests potential avenues for enhancing efficiency and sustainability in healthcare practices. However, we have some observations, particularly regarding the feasibility and practical implementation of the proposed model. A key limitation of the model is the precise definition of surgical duration, which requires further specification. To effectively translate the model into a practical scheduling approach, it is essential to consider total Operating Room (OR) occupancy time as a critical determinant of surgical planning and resource allocation. This includes not only the actual procedural time but also preoperative preparation, anesthesia induction and recovery, cleaning, and material restocking, all of which significantly impact overall scheduling efficiency. Another critical aspect concerns the quality and reliability of the input data, which is fundamental for ensuring the accuracy and effectiveness of the model. Furthermore, the adoption of new technologies should be regarded not merely as an innovation but as a means to develop high-performance, efficient tools that enhance current clinical practice. In this context, machine learning models should not only serve as analytical instruments but also as actionable tools, enabling the transition from predictive insights to strategic planning and optimized scheduling, ultimately improving decision-making and resource allocation. While making accurate predictions is a good starting point, maintaining an active AI model requires investment in resources, such as an increase in the number of surgical cases compared to the current organizational system.
