Promises and Pitfalls of Internet Search Data in Mental Health: Critical Review

Promises and Pitfalls of Internet Search Data in Mental Health: Critical Review

While investigating whether suicide-prevention results (eg, a helpline box) appeared after internet searches for suicide-related information, the authors showed concerns about possible ambivalent and potentially detrimental algorithmic decision-making. In their study, the suicide-prevention information (ie, the helpline box) was displayed only to a limited number of search agents searching for harmful suicide-related information.

Developing a Smart Sensing Sock to Prevent Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Qualitative Focus Group and Interview Study

Developing a Smart Sensing Sock to Prevent Diabetic Foot Ulcers: Qualitative Focus Group and Interview Study

Despite many ulcers being preventable [6], only a fraction of health care spending is on prevention [7,8]. It is estimated that preventing one-third of ulcers in England would save the UK NHS >£250 million (US $325 million) [4]. Digital interventions show promise for supporting foot ulcer prevention. Emerging technologies include wearable devices such as smart insoles or smart socks that can be worn daily to provide constant monitoring of the feet and alert the wearer to at-risk foot loading [9-12].

Perceptions and Experiences of Developing Prediabetes Awareness and Participating in the National Diabetes Prevention Program Among Hispanic US Adults: Qualitative Study

Among adults with prediabetes, an estimated 29% will develop T2 D within 3 years, and 70% will develop T2 D within their lifetime without an effective strategy for primary prevention [3,4]. Lifestyle modification is an effective primary prevention strategy, as demonstrated in a landmark clinical trial of adults with prediabetes and overweight or obesity.
