We sought to understand the objectives, targeted populations, therapeutic elements, and delivery characteristics of patient portal interventions.

Determine the extent to which use of Clinical Video Telehealth to Home (VT2H) for primary care licensed independent practitioner visits (PCLIPVs) varied over time and across the Veterans Health Administration (VA) during the first 18 months of the COVID pandemic, and if there was an association between VT2H usage and VA station characteristics.

This study aims to identify the people living with HIV (PWH) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) users in the All of Us (AoU) database by integrating information from both electronic health record (EHR)- and self-reported survey data.

The Multimodal Maternal Infant Perinatal Outpatient Delivery System (MOMI PODS) was developed to facilitate the pregnancy to postpartum primary care transition, particularly for individuals at risk for severe maternal morbidity, via a unique multidisciplinary model of mother/infant dyadic primary care. Specialized clinical informatics platforms are critical to ensuring the feasibility and scalability of MOMI PODS and a smooth perinatal transition into longitudinal postpartum primary care. In this manuscript, we describe [...]

Text messages used by healthcare organizations to communicate with patients have known limitations for certain populations, especially older adults. This study analyzed text message interactions with over 17 000 patients aged 65 and older during the initial phase of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign. We coded the responses of 4247 patients who responded to this outreach to understand issues they experienced with the text message system. Our analysis highlighted areas for technology [...]

Combined with mobile monitoring devices, telehealth generates overwhelming data, which could cause clinician burnout and overlooking critical patient status. Developing novel and efficient ways to correctly triage such data will be critical to a successful telehealth adoption. We aim to develop an automated classification framework of existing nurses' notes for each alert that will serve as a training dataset for a future alert triage system for telehealth programs.

To describe the infrastructure, tools, and services developed at Stanford Medicine to maintain its data science ecosystem and research patient data repository for clinical and translational research.

Smartphone devices capable of monitoring users' health, physiology, activity, and environment revolutionize care delivery, medical research, and remote patient monitoring. Such devices, laden with clinical-grade sensors and cloud connectivity, allow clinicians, researchers, and patients to monitor health longitudinally, passively, and persistently, shifting the paradigm of care and research from low-resolution, intermittent, and discrete to one of persistent, continuous, and high resolution. The collection, transmission, and storage of sensitive health data [...]

Synthea is a synthetic patient generator that creates synthetic medical records, including medication profiles. Prior to our work, Synthea produced unrealistic medication data that did not accurately reflect prescribing patterns. This project aimed to create an open-source synthetic medication database that could integrate with Synthea to create realistic patient medication profiles.

The aim of this study was to understand the usability and acceptability of virtual reality (VR) among a racially and ethnically diverse group of patients who experience chronic pain.
