Uncovering age-related differences in communication by people with persistent pain when interacting with a pain history assessment chatbot in Australia: an exploratory mixed-methods study using a comparative analysis.

BMJ open
OBJECTIVES: There is limited research exploring the age-related difference in communication when describing pain experiences. This project aimed to identify key differences between adolescents', young adults' and adults' (i) preferred communication m...

Virtual Wound Care in Australian Nursing Homes: Protocol for a Pilot and Feasibility Study.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Chronic wounds, those which have not healed in a timely manner, are a significant health and economic burden. Older people, especially those living in nursing homes, are disproportionately affected by chronic wounds, and effective managem...

Determining the Feasibility and Usability of a Co-Designed Culturally Appropriate Conversational Agent (DESI-Heart) to Support Self-Care in People With Cardiovascular Diseases: Protocol for a Single-Arm Pilot Trial.

JMIR research protocols
BACKGROUND: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. For people living with CVD, clinical guidelines recommend ongoing self-care such as symptom monitoring, medication adherence, and lifestyle modification...

Evaluating the impact of AI assistance on decision-making in emergency doctors interpreting chest X-rays: a multi-reader multi-case study.

Emergency medicine journal : EMJ
BACKGROUND: Artificial intelligence (AI) tools could assist emergency doctors interpreting chest X-rays to inform urgent care. However, the impact of AI assistance on clinical decision-making, a precursor to enhanced care and patient outcomes, remain...

Anxiety responses and testing intentions among gay and bisexual men using an AI-powered HIV/STI risk assessment tool: a quasi-experimental study.

BMC public health
INTRODUCTION: Web-based tools for the assessment of the risk of sexually transmitted infections (STI) may increase testing but also may induce anxiety. We evaluated anxiety responses and testing intentions among gay, bisexual and other men who have s...

Developing a Community-Specific Daily Weather Health Risk Index Across Australia Using Explainable Machine Learning.

Environmental science & technology
Weather conditions are closely related to human health, yet effective methods for communicating the joint health risks associated with weather-related factors remain limited, especially when accounting for the complex interactions among weather expos...

Integrative Deep Learning of Genomic and Clinical Data for Predicting Treatment Response in Newly Diagnosed Epilepsy.

Neurology
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Epilepsy is a common neurologic disorder. Although antiseizure medications (ASMs) are the first-line treatment, identifying the most effective ASM for each individual remains a trial-and-error process. Genetic variation may...
