JMIR mHealth and uHealth | Remote Automated Blood Pressure Monitoring With Wearable Tech

JMIR Publications recently published “Continuous Noninvasive Remote Automated Blood Pressure Monitoring With Novel Wearable Technology: A Preliminary Validation Study” in JMIR mHealth and uHealth which reported that the aim of the study was to validate the accuracy of Cloud DX Vitaliti continuous vital signs monitor (CVSM) continuous noninvasive blood pressure (cNIBP) measurements in postsurgical patients. In static and supine positions, 3 cNIBP measurements, each 30 seconds, were taken for each patient with the Vitaliti CVSM and an invasive arterial catheter. At the conclusion of each test session, captured cNIBP measurements were extracted using MediCollector BEDSIDE data extraction software, and Vitaliti CVSM measurements were extracted toRead More →

JMIR Public Health and Surveillance | Diagnostic Accuracy of Self-test for Influenza

JMIR Publications recently published “Diagnostic Accuracy of an At-Home, Rapid Self-test for Influenza: Prospective Comparative Accuracy Study” in JMIR Public Health and Surveillance which reported that rapid diagnostic tests (RDTs) for influenza used by individuals at home could potentially expand access to testing and reduce the impact of influenza on health systems. Improving access to testing could lead to earlier diagnosis following symptom onset, allowing more rapid interventions for those who test positive, including behavioral changes to minimize spread. This study aims to assess the accuracy of an influenza RDT conducted at home by lay users with acute respiratory illness compared with that of aRead More →

JMIR Publications recently published “A 12-Month Follow-Up of the Effects of a Digital Diabetes Prevention Program (VP Transform for Prediabetes) on Weight and Physical Activity Among Adults With Prediabetes: Secondary Analysis” in JMIR Diabetes which reported that previous research has demonstrated the efficacy of a diabetes prevention program (DPP) in lifestyle modifications that can prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes among individuals at risk. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of a digital DPP on weight and physical activity among participants who had completed 12 months of the program. This study was also a secondary analysis of retrospectiveRead More →

Smoking, diabetes, obesity and high cholesterol are contributing factors. Claudication, the cramping pain patients experience in their extremities, affects their quality of life. “It’s really poor leg circulation,” says Tracie Collins, MD, MPH, dean of The University of New Mexico (UNM) College of Population Health. “It compromises your ability to walk.” Medications can help alleviate the symptoms, but taking regular walks is the most effective wayRead More →
