Mobile health (mHealth) technologies in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) have received increased attention for the significant potential benefits they can bring to underserved populations. As smartphones are becoming increasingly accessible, many stakeholders in the mHealth space have begun exploring smartphone applications as a means to impact individuals living within LMICs. With the COVID-19 pandemic straining healthcare systems around the world, many governments in LMICs turned to use smartphone applications [...]

We provide a scoping review of Digital Health Interventions (DHIs) that mitigate COVID-19 misinformation and disinformation seeding and spread.

Convert the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care (MIMIC)-IV database into Health Level 7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR). Additionally, generate and publish an openly available demo of the resources, and create a FHIR Implementation Guide to support and clarify the usage of MIMIC-IV on FHIR.

While opioid addiction, treatment, and recovery are receiving attention, not much has been done on adaptive interventions to prevent opioid use disorder (OUD). To address this, we identify opioid prescription and opioid consumption as promising targets for adaptive interventions and present a design framework.

Enabling clinicians to formulate individualized clinical management strategies from the sea of molecular data remains a fundamentally important but daunting task. Here, we describe efforts towards a new paradigm in genomics-electronic health record (HER) integration, using a standardized suite of FHIR Genomics Operations that encapsulates the complexity of molecular data so that precision medicine solution developers can focus on building applications.

Online health communities (OHCs) have been identified as important outlets for social support and community connection for adolescents and young adults (AYAs) living with chronic illnesses. Despite evident benefits, there remains a gap in research on methods to maximize sustained patient engagement within OHCs. This study assessed per-patient daily commenting rates over time, as well as associations with program staff and volunteer-facilitated events and engagement.

This scoping review evaluates the existing literature on clinical informatics (CI) training in medical schools. It aims to determine the essential components of a CI curriculum in medical schools, identify methods to evaluate the effectiveness of a CI-focused education, and understand its delivery modes.

SNOMED CT is the largest clinical terminology worldwide. Quality assurance of SNOMED CT is of utmost importance to ensure that it provides accurate domain knowledge to various SNOMED CT-based applications. In this work, we introduce a deep learning-based approach to uncover missing is-a relations in SNOMED CT.
