Smoking cessation is a persistent leading public health challenge. Mobile (mHealth) solutions are emerging to improve smoking treatments. Previous approaches have proposed supporting with tailored motivational messages. Some managed provide short-term improvements in cessation. Yet, these were either static terms of personalization or human-based nonscalable solutions. Additionally, long-term effects neither presented nor assessed combination existing psychopharmacological therapies.This...
Background Patients undergoing surgery often experience stress and anxiety, which can increase complications hinder recovery. Effective management of these psychological factors is key to improving outcomes. Preoperative anxiety inversely correlated with the amount information patients receive, but accessible, personalized support remains limited, especially in preoperative settings. Face-to-face education impractical due resource constraints. Digital health (DH) interventions offer a...
Smoking is one of the most avoidable health risk factors, and yet quitting success rates are low. The usage tailored messages to support has been proved increase rates. Technology can provide convenient means deliver messages. Health recommender systems information-filtering algorithms that choose relevant health-related items—for instance, motivational aimed at smoking cessation—for each user based on his or her profile. goals this study analyze perceived quality an mHealth system...
LifeChamps is an EU Horizon 2020 project that aims to create a digital platform enable monitoring of health-related quality life and frailty in patients with cancer over the age 65. Our primary objective assess feasibility, usability, acceptability, fidelity, adherence, safety parameters when implementing routine care. Secondary objectives involve evaluating preliminary signals efficacy cost-effectiveness indicators.
The evidence that quality of life is a positive variable for the survival cancer patients has prompted interest health and pharmaceutical industry in considering as final clinical outcome. Sustained improvements care recent years have resulted increased numbers people living with beyond cancer, attention being placed on improving those individuals. Connected Health provides foundations transformation into patient-centric model, focused providing fully connected, personalized support therapy...

Smoking cessation is the most common preventative for an array of diseases, including lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Although there are many efforts advocating smoking cessation, still highly prevalent. For instance, in USA 2015, 50% all smokers attempted to quit smoking, only 5–7% them succeeded – with slight deviation depending on external assistance. Previous studies show that computer-tailored messages which support abstinence effective. The combination health...
Smoking is considered the main cause of preventable illness and early deaths worldwide. The treatment usually prescribed to people who wish quit smoking a multidisciplinary intervention, combining both psychological advice pharmacological therapy, since application strategies significantly increases chance success in attempt.We present study protocol 12-month randomized open-label parallel-group trial whose primary objective analyze efficacy efficiency usual psychopharmacological therapy...
Physical activity is important for all, but the elderly balance and sufficient strength vital to function in daily life. It can be difficult all of us find motivation exercise at home, seniors are no exception. We have experienced that exergaming motivational since it fun, most commercial games not optimal due speed, required movements, colours, amount of information, etc. In a project we designed an exergame specifically with in mind based on user requirements both specific...
Preventive care and telemedicine are expected to play an important role in reducing the impact of increasingly aging global population while increasing number healthy years. Virtual coaching is a promising research area support this process. This paper presents user-centered virtual coach for older adults at home promote active independent living. It supports behavior change processes improving on cognitive, physical, social interaction nutrition areas using specific, measurable, achievable,...
Stress and anxiety are psychophysiological responses commonly experienced by patients during the perioperative process that can increase presurgical postsurgical complications to a comprehensive positive recovery. Preventing intervening in stress help achieve health well-being outcomes. Similarly, provision of education about surgery be crucial component is inversely correlated with preoperative levels. However, few receive relief support before surgery, resource constraints make...
In this article, we describe the design of two recommender systems (RS) designed to support smoking cessation process through a mobile application. We plan use hybrid RS (content-based, utility-based, and demographic filtering) tailor health recommendation messages, content-based schedule timely delivery message. also define metrics that will assess their performance, helping people quit when run pilot.
This paper presents a virtual coach for older adults at home to support active and healthy aging, independent living. It aids users in their behavior change process improving on cognitive, physical, social interaction nutrition areas using SMART goals. To achieve an effective of the user, relies I-Change behavioral model. Using combination projectors, cameras, microphones sensors, adult's becomes augmented reality environment, where common objects are used projection sensed. Older interact...
Within the most recent years, of cancer patients are older age, which implies necessity to a better understanding aging and connection. This work presents LifeChamps solution built on top cutting-edge Big Data architecture HPC infrastructure concepts. An innovative was envisioned supported by Value Reference Model answering system requirements from high low level logical physical perspective, following "4+1 architectural model".
Breast cancer is the most common in women both developed and developing countries. More than half of all mobile application concern breast cancer. Gamification widely used software applications created for health-related services. Current prevalence gamification apps unknown detection must be manually performed. The purpose this study to describe produce a tool allowing automatic which contain elements thus empowering researchers using large data samples. Predictive logistic regression model...
