Wearable Technologies in Head and Neck Oncology: Scoping Review.

JMIR mHealth and uHealth
BACKGROUND: Head and neck cancer (HNC) survivors face profound functional and quality-of-life deficits due to disease- and treatment-related sequelae, ranging from mild fatigue to debilitating dysphagia. Wearable technology, by monitoring biometric d...

Deep phenotyping of patient lived experience in functional bowel disorders using machine learning.

Scientific reports
Contemporary clinical management relies on a diagnostic label as the primary guide to treatment. However, individual patients' lived experiences vary more widely than standard diagnostic categories reflect. This is especially true for functional bowe...

An intelligent community-based system for healthcare prioritisation.

Scientific reports
Healthcare rationing is unavoidable in systems constrained by limited resources. While decisions about who should be treated are ethically complex, they must reflect not only efficiency concerns but also socially accepted values. This study aims to d...

Management of Irritable Bowel Syndrome: The Role of Digital Health Technologies.

Journal of gastrointestinal and liver diseases : JGLD
Functional Gastrointestinal Disorders (FGIDs), including conditions such as irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and functional dyspepsia, affect millions worldwide, significantly impairing quality of life and increasing healthcare utilization. These disor...

INDIGO randomised controlled digital clinical trial: INvestigating DIgital outcomes and quality of life in cancer survivors - a study protocol.

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: There are estimated to be 3.4 million patients in the UK living after a diagnosis of cancer. We know very little about their quality of life or healthcare usage. Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are tools which help to translat...

Predictive modelling of clinically significant depressive symptoms after coronary artery bypass graft surgery: protocol for a multicentre observational study in two Swiss hospitals (the PsyCor study).

BMJ open
INTRODUCTION: Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) remains one of the most commonly performed cardiac surgeries worldwide. Despite surgical advancements, a significant proportion of patients experience psychological distress following surgery, with...

Diabetic retinopathy is a complication of diabetes mellitus that is clinically characterized by changes in retinal microvasculature. Diabetic retinopathy is now better defined as diabetic retinal disease (DRD), as diabetes mellitus affects not only t...

The critical effects of self-management strategies on predicting cancer survivors' future quality of life and health status using machine learning techniques.

PloS one
Despite the significance of enhancing the quality of life (QoL) and overall health status (including physical, mental, social, and spiritual well-being) among individuals who have survived cancer, the existing prediction model for QoL and health stat...

Predicting children and adolescents at high risk of poor health‑related quality of life using machine learning methods.

Health and quality of life outcomes
BACKGROUND: Existing research has identified health‑related quality of life (HRQoL) is influenced by a multitude of factors among children and adolescents. However, there has been relatively limited exploration of the multidimensional predictive fact...
