ABSTRACT OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to determine the efficacies of the Coping Camp app in reducing stress, depression, and anxiety and improving stress-coping behaviours and mental health wellbeing. Additionally, feasibility and acceptability of Coping Camp were evaluated. METHODS: In this unblinded cluster RCT, 540 participants from […]
Co-design of a Mobile App for Engaging Breast Cancer Patients in Reporting Health Experiences: Qualitative Case Study
J Med Internet Res. 2023 Nov 27;25:e45968. doi: 10.2196/45968. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: The World Health Organization recommends incorporating patient-reported experience measures and patient-reported outcome measures to ensure care processes. New technologies, such as mobile apps, could help report and monitor patients’ adverse effects and doubts during treatment. However, engaging patients in the daily use of mobile […]
Reliability of Self-Screening for Intrinsic Capacity Impairments Using the ICOPE Monitor App
J Frailty Aging. 2023;12(4):291-297. doi: 10.14283/jfa.2023.34. ABSTRACT AIM: To verify the inter-rater agreement of the Integrated Care for Older People (ICOPE) STEP 1 screening tool using the ICOPE Monitor app, comparing self-assessment to a screening performed by a health professional. METHODS: We compared the results of the ICOPE Step 1 obtained by self-screening with those […]

Equations for smartphone prediction of adiposity and appendicular lean mass in youth soccer players
Sci Rep. 2023 Nov 25;13(1):20734. doi: 10.1038/s41598-023-48055-y. ABSTRACT Digital anthropometry by three-dimensional optical imaging systems and smartphones has recently been shown to provide non-invasive, precise, and accurate anthropometric and body composition measurements. To our knowledge, no previous study performed smartphone-based digital anthropometric assessments in young athletes. The aim of this study was to investigate the […]
Smartphone-integrated ratiometric fluorescence sensing platform based on bimetallic metal-organic framework nanowires for anthrax biomarker detection
Mikrochim Acta. 2023 Nov 25;190(12):484. doi: 10.1007/s00604-023-06065-7. ABSTRACT Developing an intelligent, sensitive, and visual strategy for quickly identifying anthrax biomarkers is crucial for ensuring food safety and preventing disease outbreaks. Herein, a smartphone-integrated ratiometric fluorescent sensing platform based on bimetallic metal-organic framework (Eux/Tb1-x-MOF) nanowires was designed for specific recognition of pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid (DPA, anthrax biomarker). […]
Fluctuations in Upper and Lower Body Movement during Walking in Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus and Parkinson’s Disease Assessed by Motion Capture with a Smartphone Application, TDPT-GT
Sensors (Basel). 2023 Nov 18;23(22):9263. doi: 10.3390/s23229263. ABSTRACT We aimed to capture the fluctuations in the dynamics of body positions and find the characteristics of them in patients with idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) and Parkinson’s disease (PD). With the motion-capture application (TDPT-GT) generating 30 Hz coordinates at 27 points on the body, walking in […]
