Background: Frequently eHealth applications are not used as intended and they have high attrition rates; therefore, a better understanding of patients’ need for support is warranted. Specifically, more research needed to identify which system components target different patient groups under what conditions.
Although persons with disabilities of all kinds have as wide a range health conditions the general population, they are profoundly underrepresented in mainstream research. Such underrepresentation might contribute to disparities this population. We propose concept Universal Design Research (UDR), which would promote routine inclusion biomedical and psychosocial studies, without need for adaptation or specialized design. Elements UDR include use multisensory formats recruiting participants,...

Abstract Background Use of common data elements (CDEs), conceptually defined as variables that are operationalized and measured in identical ways across studies, enables comparison studies would otherwise be impossible. Although healthcare researchers increasingly using CDEs, there has been little systematic use CDEs for symptom science. especially important science because people experience symptoms a broad range health developmental states, management interventions may have outcomes...
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition of the that affects over 1 million people in United States.
