Association between behavioral phenotypes and response to a physical activity intervention using gamification and social incentives: Secondary analysis of the STEP UP randomized clinical trial
Participants often vary in their response to behavioral interventions, but methods to identify groups of participants that are more likely to respond are lacking. In this secondary analysis of a randomized clinical trial, we used baseline characteristics to group participants into distinct behavioral phenotypes and evaluated differential responses to a physical activity intervention. Engagement varies significantly across the identified phenotypes. The hope is to levarege this methodology to improve patient engagement across multiple clinical domains.
Remote Monitoring of Patients with Covid-19: Design, implementation, and outcomes of the first 3,000 patients in COVID Watch
An innovation team at the University of Pennsylvania Health System demonstrates how an automated text-messaging system can remotely monitor patients with confirmed or suspected Covid-19 at home and quickly support worsening patients with human care.
Way to Health, 10 Years On
“Advances in health care to date have been very focused on physicians and the science of medicine,” Balachandran said. “Some of the barriers to improving health are social determinants and our behaviors. Way to Health’s intent is the focus on the patient and aid in changing their behavior for the better.”
Key Insights on Launching a Nudge Unit within a Health Care System
The goals of the symposium were to assemble and share insights with stakeholders from institutions that have launched or are interested in launching a nudge unit with their health system, and to engage in a design session to help programs outline important next steps at their health system.
A conversation with Charles Jaffe, MD - CEO, HL7
Mohan Balachandran chats with HL7 CEO Charles Jaffe, MD in this podcast presentation. From this segment, listeners will discover more about FHIR and learn why developers and hospital systems shouldn’t wait for a fully baked data exchange standard. Healthcare leaders often raise many questions around FHIR and Dr. Jaffe provides clarity around those questions. With standards as a critical component of healthcare innovation, this FHIR-based podcast is a must for those who can’t get enough understanding of FHIR.
Grahame Grieve - the future of healthcare interoperability (part 3)
Grahame hails from Melbourne, Australia and has come to be industry known as the “Father of FHIR.” Before creating the Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources, he spent years working with the HL7 standards that assist in transferring clinical and administrative data between software applications. This is third in a three-part interview series around the FHIR standard and one that will leave you laughing as Grieve shares his favorite answer to what FHIR stands for.
