• Spinal stabilization exercises for transversus abdominis and lumbar multifidus thickness via telerehabilitation and face-to-face approaches in patients with nonspecific chronic neck pain: a randomized controlled trial
  CONCLUSION: Telerehabilitation and face-to-face spinal stabilization exercises are both beneficial for spinal muscle architecture and clinical variables as a preventive measure against future lower back problems in individuals with neck pain.
• Assessment of the reliability of at-home caregiver-collected anthropometric measurements
  INTRODUCTION: Anthropometric measurements provide valuable information about infant growth patterns and can help identify nutrition, growth, and developmental concerns. With the increasing use of telehealth and decentralized clinical trial approaches, there is potential for caregivers to collect anthropometric measurements at home via teleconference with healthcare providers (HCPs) to monitor infant growth, which indirectly reflects health […]
• Use and appreciation of combined computer- and mobile-based physical activity interventions within adults aged 50 years and older: Randomized controlled trial
  CONCLUSIONS: The integration of mobile-based activity trackers with computer-based interventions has high potential for increasing use and lowering attrition among adults aged 50 years and older. The process evaluation findings can guide future intervention optimization procedures, other eHealth and mHealth developers and practitioners.
• Expectations of healthcare professionals of community-based telemedicine in emergency medical service
  CONCLUSION: To be clear about the expectations of stakeholders, it is essential to involve all stakeholders right from the beginning. The solution should prioritize the integration of existing structures and be seamlessly incorporated into an evolving learning culture, while also fostering the necessary mindsets alongside educational aspects.
• Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Cancer Clinical Trials: Alliance for Clinical Trials in Oncology Experience (Alliance A152022)
  CONCLUSION: A centralized COVID-19 database enabled a comprehensive assessment of the impact of the pandemic across Alliance trials. COVID-19 led to an immediate decline in enrollment across all patient populations. While the number of trials open to patient accrual remained stable, several large, adjuvant studies completed accrual during this period, which contributed to accrual decline. […]
• User-Centered Design and Usability of Voxe as a Pediatric Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome Measure Platform: Mixed Methods Evaluation Study
  CONCLUSIONS: This paper describes the user-centered creation and usability testing of Voxe as an ePROM platform for implementation into clinical care for pediatric patients with chronic health conditions. As a patient-facing platform that can be integrated into electronic medical records, Voxe aligns with measurement-based care practices to foster quality patient-centered approaches to care. End users' […]
• Complementary App-Based Yoga Home Exercise Therapy for Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: Usability Study
  CONCLUSIONS: The results revealed moderate acceptance and usability ratings, prompting further app improvement. Significant differences were observed between age and gender. Our results emphasize the need for further improvements in YogiTherapy.
• We Have Spent Time, Money, and Effort Making Self-Help Digital Mental Health Interventions: Is Anyone Going to Come to the Party?
  Although efficacious psychotherapies exist, a limited number of mental health care providers and significant demand make their accessibility a fundamental problem. Clinical researchers, funders, and investors alike have converged on self-help digital mental health interventions (self-help DMHIs) as a low-cost, low-burden, and broadly scalable solution to the global mental health burden. Consequently, exorbitant financial and […]
• Usability of a Web-Based App for Increasing Adolescent Vaccination in Primary Care Settings: Think-Aloud and Survey Assessment
  CONCLUSIONS: This mixed methods evaluation demonstrated that ProtectMe4 was usable and acceptable to both parents and clinicians in real-world pediatric primary care. Improved coordination among clinic staff is needed to ensure the app is consistently offered to patients and reviewed by clinicians before seeing the patient.
