we aimed to design the functionalities of a smart health platform addressing 5 chronic conditions prevalent in the older population ie, hearing loss, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairments, mental health problems, and balance disorders by considering both older adults' and clinicians' perspectives and to evaluate the identified smart vide evidence-based support for clinicians' decision-making Further research with a larger and more heterogeneous pool of stakeholders in terms of demographics and clinical conditions is needed to assess system acceptability and overall user experience in free-living conditions The presented smart health platform functionalities seem to be able to meet older adults' needs and desires to enhance their self-awareness and self-management of their medical condition, encourage healthy and independent living, and provide evidence-based support for clinicians' decision-making Further research with a larger and more heterogeneous pool of stakeholders in terms of demographics and clinical conditions is needed to assess system acceptability and overall user experience in free-living conditions Breast cancer survivors BCSs can present with various physical and psychological symptoms and functional deficits that impact their quality of life Virtual reality VR technology is being used in breast cancer rehabilitation management to improve the emotional, cognitive, and physical well-being of BCSs This systematic review aimed to examine the effectiveness of VR-based interventions on health-related outcomes in BCSs A meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of VR-based interventions in the rehabilitation management of BCSs A systematic search was conducted on PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, CINAHL with Full Text, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, CNKI, WanFang, VIP, and CBM, from inception to May 25, 2021 The inclusion criteria of the selected studies were as follows 1 adults diagnosed with breast cancer; 2 any type of VR-based interventions immersive and nonimmersive virtual environment; 3 comparison of traditional rehabilitation methods; 4 outcn the clinical setting PROSPERO International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews CRD42021250727;

however, limited research has investigated its application in prehospital operations The aim of this study is to understand the potential of smart glasses to support the work practices of prehospital providers, such as emergency medical services EMS personnel We conducted semistructured interviews with 13 EMS providers recruited from 4 hospital-based EMS agencies in an urban area in the east coast region of the United States The interview questions covered EMS workflow, challenges encountered, technology needs, and users' perceptions of smart glasses in supporting daily EMS work During the interviews, we demonstrated a system prototype to elicit more accurate and comprehensive insights regarding smart glasses Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed usizing the full potential of this hands-free technology Smart glasses can be a suitable technological means for supporting EMS work We conclude this paper by discussing several design considerations for realizing the full potential of this hands-free technology With the increasing frequency and magnitude of disasters internationally, there is growing research and clinical interest in the application of social media sites for disaster mental health surveillance However, important questions remain regarding the extent to which unstructured social media data can be harnessed for clinically meaningful decision-making This comprehensive scoping review synthesizes interdisciplinary literature with a particular focus on research methods and applications A total of 6 health and computer science databases were searched for studies published before April 20, 2021, resulting in the identification of 47 studies Included studies were published in peer-reviewed outlets and examined mental health during disasters or crises by using social media data Applications across 31 mental health issues were identified, which were grouped into the following three broader themes estimating mental health burden, planning or evaluating interventions and policies, and knowledge disc the social media monitoring of mental health during disasters In times of COVID-19, we are challenged to experiment with alternative platforms or software to connect people In particular, the struggle that arose in health research was how to interact with patients and care professionals The latter is additionally faced with an extreme workload to fight the pandemic crisis Creative strategies have been developed to continue research among patients and care professionals to improve quality of care This paper addresses the issue of synchronous, online, nominal group sessions, a common consensus method used for group brainstorming The purpose of this study was to share our experiences with performing online, nominal group sessions using the video conference software Microsoft Teams In addition, we aimed to create a practical guide with recommendations for researchers We critically analyzed the procedures for the online nominal group technique, according to the Fishbone methodology Performing synchronous, online, nominal group sessions is challenging but offechieve optimal performance Topic modeling of patient medication reviews of erectile dysfunction ED drugs can help identify patient preferences regarding ED treatment options The identification of a set of topics important to the patient from social network service drug reviews would inform the design of patient-centered medication counseling This study aimed to 1 identify the distinctive topics from patient medication reviews unique to tadalafil versus sildenafil; 2 determine if the primary topics are distributed differently for each drug and for each patient characteristic age and time on ED drug therapy; and 3 test if the primary topics affect satisfaction with ED drug therapy controlling for patient characteristics Data were collected from the patient medication reviews of sildenafil and tadalafil posted on WebMD and Ask a Patient The latent Dirichlet allocation method of natural language processing was used to identify 5 distinctive topics from the patient medication reviews on each drug Analysis of variance and a 2-sample t test were conducted to compare the topic distribution and assess whether patient satisfaction varies with the primary topics, age, and time on medication for each ED drug
