There is still time to register for the event tomorrow - Join us for a disucssion with Dr Rosie Dobson from University of Auckland on the topic "The development and evaluation of txtpēpi: A mHealth maternal and child health programme". Register via https://opendigitalhealth.org/event/the-development-and-evaluation-of-txtpepi-a-mhealth-maternal-and-child-health-programme/

Description of event:

The evidence for mHealth approaches in the delivery of public health messages is growing. The pregnancy and postnatal periods present a key opportunity to improve maternal health and future child health. This talk will describe the development process of a culturally tailored mHealth programme. txtpēpi is an individually tailored and personalised text message programme providing free information and support to māmā (mothers) and whānau (family members) during pregnancy and the first two years. txtpēpi was rolled out in February 2021. Evaluation of the programme's effectiveness on key infant and child indicators was undertaken alongside an assessment of the acceptability of the programme from end-user and stakeholder perspectives.

Join us for a discussion with A/prof Adrian Bickerstaffe on iPrevent (NHMRC-funded online breast cancer decision support tool). Register now https://opendigitalhealth.org/event/iprevent-a-journey-to-develop-an-online-breast-cancer-decision-support-tool/

iPrevent is an Australian NHMRC-funded project to develop an evidence-based, tailored, and computerised breast cancer risk assessment and decision support tool. iPrevent was launched in November 2017 and served over 8,000 sessions in its first year of operation. In this talk, Adrian will talk about his journey as Technical Lead on the iPrevent project. He will provide a candid look at developing decision support software using an informatics team that was embedded within an academic research environment. His talk will cover the aspects that went well and those which were challenging, as well as post-launch matters to consider. This will be an at-times light-hearted look at the trials, tribulations, and victories that can arise in multi-disciplinary projects such as iPrevent.

OPEN-ACCESS EVENT - September 15th

Dr Robab Abdolkhani discusses principles to guide the collection & management of good quality data from wearables for patient care. Register via https://opendigitalhealth.org/event/wearables-and-healthcare-integration-principles-for-data-quality-management/

06/09/2022

OPEN-ACCESS EVENT
The rapidly growing market of medical and consumer wearables is resulting in increasing adoption of remote patient monitoring initiatives. However, as wearables data is collected under patient supervision in a dynamically changing environment outside the clinical setting, its quality imposes risks to the safety and quality of care. This reduces the data reliability for integration into clinical workflows and use in routine clinical practice.

The Swaasa AI Platform can identify underlying respiratory lung conditions by analyzing a 10-second cough sound recording. Think of the tool as Point of Care (PoC), Software as a Medical Device (SaMD) for instant evaluation of respiratory health. It is a self-administered tool for a quick check of lung health and can be one of the vitals that can be checked at home. When deployed as a screening and triaging tool prior to molecular (diagnosis) testing, Swaasa was statistically proven effective in prioritizing at-risk patients for testing.

Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) is a method to collect real time data in the natural environment, and typically participants complete multiple short questionnaires over the course of the day on mobile devices. This method maximizes ecological or real-world validity while minimizing recall bias. In combination with passively tracked GPS based mobility data, EMA allows us to collect detailed information on health risk behaviors in the daily lives of individuals. This presentation will provide an overview of research my collaborators and I have conducted using these methods, and an ongoing study that uses EMA and GPS data to inform smoking cessation intervention delivery via smartphones.

5 July EVENT - Implementing digital health tools to support navigation in chronic disease management: what are the pitfalls and how do we overcome these?

Dr. Hempler will present lessons learned from digitally supported health interventions aiming to improve access to and coordination of care in chronic disease management targeting people with multimorbidity. The presentation will address how uptake and engagement potentially can be increased by using co-design approaches, including collaboration with end-users and organisations throughout the process of intervention design and testing.
