Advancing neonatal jaundice screening with mHealth: a mixed-methods randomised controlled feasibility study in a resource-limited setting in Mexico
BMJ Paediatr Open. 2026 Apr 2;10(1):e003624. doi: 10.1136/bmjpo-2025-003624. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Neonatal jaundice is a common and usually harmless condition, but 10% of cases can progress to severe forms that can cause irreversible brain damage or death if undetected and untreated. The prevalence of severe cases is higher in resource-limited settings due to limited access to […]
Development and Launch of a Dutch Mobile App (MediMama) on Over-the-Counter Medication Safety During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Development and Usability Study
JMIR Mhealth Uhealth. 2026 Apr 2;14:e85948. doi: 10.2196/85948. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Over-the-counter (OTC) medicines are frequently used during pregnancy. As these medicines are often used without medical supervision, accessible and reliable safety information is essential. However, finding reliable and understandable information on the safety of these medicines during pregnancy is often experienced as difficult. Hence, there […]
Randomized controlled trial of smartphone-based interpretation bias intervention for anxiety and depression
J Consult Clin Psychol. 2026 Mar;94(3):125-139. doi: 10.1037/ccp0000996. ABSTRACT OBJECTIVE: HabitWorks (HW) is a personalized, transdiagnostic, smartphone-based interpretation bias intervention for depression and anxiety that has demonstrated feasibility and acceptability in prior pilot studies. This preregistered randomized controlled trial (https://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/EJ89T; Silverman, Kovarsky Rotta, et al., 2025) tested the effectiveness of HW compared with a symptom […]
Characteristics and functionalities of digital tools supporting motivation and adherence to physical activity in older adults with health conditions: a protocol for a scoping review
BMJ Open. 2026 Apr 2;16(4):e114665. doi: 10.1136/bmjopen-2025-114665. ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: Regular physical activity declines with age, particularly among older adults with health conditions. Digital tools, including wearable devices, mobile applications, virtual reality systems and tele-exercise platforms, offer promising ways to promote physical activity. However, the technological components of these tools and their reported associations with motivation, […]
Patterns and predictors of variability in patient-generated daily pain severity collected via a mobile health smartphone app
PLoS One. 2026 Apr 2;21(4):e0345420. doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0345420. eCollection 2026. ABSTRACT Digital-health technologies support the collection of patient-generated health data that is frequent, longitudinal, and collected in participant’s own environments. Such high-frequency data could detect patterns of variation in disease and associated symptoms, but characterizing, interpreting, and understanding the reasons for this variability remain open questions. […]
Mobile Health Technology Ownership and Use Among Cancer Survivors in a Health System
Cancer Rep (Hoboken). 2026 Apr;9(4):e70536. doi: 10.1002/cnr2.70536. ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Physical activity (PA) is associated with improved health outcomes among cancer survivors (CS), yet PA participation and access to PA programs in cancer care are low. Mobile health (mHealth) technologies such as wearable activity trackers and smartphone lifestyle applications are promising strategies to promote PA among […]
