Recommendations for Designing a Digital Health Tool for Blindness Prevention Among High-Risk Diabetic Retinopathy Patients: Qualitative Focus Group Study of Adults With Diabetes

Recommendations for Designing a Digital Health Tool for Blindness Prevention Among High-Risk Diabetic Retinopathy Patients: Qualitative Focus Group Study of Adults With Diabetes

Over 80% (15/19) of participants had access to smart devices, defined as either smartphones, smartwatches, computers, and tablets. Most participants, over 70% (13/19), disclosed annual household incomes below US $50,000. Hemoglobin A1c (Hb A1c) was self-reported (mean 6.77, SD 1.93). Ages ranged from 35 years old to 72 years old (mean age 58.79, SD 19.54). Approximately half (10/19, 52%) of participants did not pursue higher education (neither partially nor completed a college degree).

Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

Mobile Apps and Wearable Devices for Cardiovascular Health: Narrative Review

Smartphones equipped with photoplethysmography technology can detect atrial fibrillation and assess cardiovascular health by measuring blood volume changes using infrared light, this technique provides insights into heart rate and variability, offering a cost-effective and noninvasive method for evaluating cardiovascular fitness [9]. Wearable devices, typically worn on the wrist, arms, chest, or hips, can also be effective tools for managing CVD risks [10].

Validation of Ecological Momentary Assessment With Reference to Accelerometer Data: Repeated-Measures Panel Study With Multilevel Modeling

Validation of Ecological Momentary Assessment With Reference to Accelerometer Data: Repeated-Measures Panel Study With Multilevel Modeling

For example, EMA prompts could be used to deliver real-time feedback or motivational messages when a participant is detected to be sedentary or transitioning to PA, leveraging data from wearable devices synced with smartphones. This adaptability positions EMA as a promising tool for both preventive health strategies and rehabilitation programs aimed at improving PA behaviors.

Investigating the Magnitude and Persistence of COVID-19–Related Impacts on Affect and GPS-Derived Daily Mobility Patterns in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Insights From a Smartphone-Based Intensive Longitudinal Study of Colorado-Based Youths From June 2016 to April 2022

Investigating the Magnitude and Persistence of COVID-19–Related Impacts on Affect and GPS-Derived Daily Mobility Patterns in Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood: Insights From a Smartphone-Based Intensive Longitudinal Study of Colorado-Based Youths From June 2016 to April 2022

Positive and negative affect surveys were deployed to participants’ smartphones once every 2 weeks via an abbreviated form of the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS) [41,42]. The abbreviated PANAS consisted of 5 items assessing negative affect and 5 items assessing positive affect. Example items include “indicate to what extent you have felt afraid over the past few days” (negative affect) and “indicate to what extent you have felt inspired over the past few days” (positive affect).

Assessment of the Sensitivity of a Smartphone App to Assist Patients in the Identification of Stroke and Myocardial Infarction: Cross-Sectional Study

Assessment of the Sensitivity of a Smartphone App to Assist Patients in the Identification of Stroke and Myocardial Infarction: Cross-Sectional Study

Leveraging the ubiquity of smartphones, ECHAS aims to be a scientifically validated and regulatory-approved digital medicine technology. The app is modeled on the “history and examination” of a neurologist or cardiologist by asking a series of evidence-based questions about the user’s medical history and symptoms, as well as a finger-tapping test designed to detect unilateral weakness.

Person-Specific Analyses of Smartphone Use and Mental Health: Intensive Longitudinal Study

Person-Specific Analyses of Smartphone Use and Mental Health: Intensive Longitudinal Study

Participants installed a custom study app on their smartphones, enabling an unobtrusive collection of smartphone screens. The app required no active user management and operated transparently, with a status bar icon indicating its activity. Screenshots, along with operating system metadata like phone battery state and foreground app were captured and recorded automatically every 5 seconds when the screen was active.
