Towards Participatory Precision Health: Systematic Review and Co-designed Guidelines For Adolescent Just-in-time Adaptive Interventions

Adolescence and young adulthood (10-25 years) constitute a sensitive developmental period marked by rapid biological, psychological, and social changes, during which preventative health interventions can shape long-term outcomes. Mobile health (mHealth) tools offer opportunities for tailored support but often with limited adaptation to adolescents’ dynamic contexts, resulting in inconsistent engag...

A Comprehensive Approach to Days’ Supply Estimation in a Real-World Prescription Database: Data Cleaning, Imputation, and Adherence Analysis

For accurate medication usage statistics and medication adherence calculations, we need to have an accurate days’ supply (DS) for each prescription. Unfortunately, often the DS or information needed for calculating the DS is not provided. Therefore, other methods need to be applied to acquire missing values or substituting incorrect values. The aim of this study is to apply a variety of methods fo...

Clinical evaluation of a natural language processing system for assisting structured diagnosis recording at the point of care: MiADE (Medical Information AI Data Extractor)

Structured recording of key information such as diagnoses is essential for safe, efficient patient care, but is currently done incompletely because it...

Predicting Hospital Admissions Using Pretrained EHR Embeddings: External Evaluation and Insights on Local Vocabulary Adaptation
