Usability Testing of the BRANCH Smartphone App Designed to Reduce Harmful Drinking in Young Adults

Usability Testing of the BRANCH Smartphone App Designed to Reduce Harmful Drinking in Young Adults

A recent review of online feedback for existing alcohol apps reported that nonintuitive functionality, software malfunctions, and lack of personalization of content are frequently cited criticisms of existing alcohol apps [3,7]. While many e SBI apps are available, the majority are not evidence-based [2,8]. Indeed e SBI is still in its infancy and should be subjected to multiple stages of rigorous development and testing [9]. The app “BRANCH” targets harmful drinking in young adults (18-30 year olds).

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Tobacco Prevention: The Mirroring Approach

Photoaging Mobile Apps in School-Based Tobacco Prevention: The Mirroring Approach

In a recent paper, we introduced photoaging mobile apps that alter a person’s self-portrait (ie, a selfie) to predict future appearance [2]. These are considered a novel opportunity for smoking prevention after their effectiveness was first demonstrated by Burford et al [3]. In addition to this, many dermatology publications have called for a novel public health approach in light of new findings on the photoaging effects of smoking [4-8].

Digital Tools to Facilitate the Detection and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder: Key Developments and Future Directions

Digital Tools to Facilitate the Detection and Treatment of Bipolar Disorder: Key Developments and Future Directions

Beyond the clinical utility of personalization, this feature is also highly prioritized by individuals with BD themselves [31], who have expressed a desire for apps that make meaningful use of their data to customize intervention delivery and facilitate proactive support. Although research-led studies have developed and evaluated mobile apps for BD, the dissemination and uptake of these apps in real-world contexts must be considered to reach the target population and maximize their impact.

Transforming Digital Phenotyping Raw Data Into Actionable Biomarkers, Quality Metrics, and Data Visualizations Using Cortex Software Package: Tutorial

Transforming Digital Phenotyping Raw Data Into Actionable Biomarkers, Quality Metrics, and Data Visualizations Using Cortex Software Package: Tutorial

The evolving landscape of consumer technology, and thus digital phenotyping apps, presents numerous challenges to their scientific study. These apps require constant efforts to ensure they remain secure and able to collect the data they claim to capture. The result of this dynamic environment is that many digital phenotyping apps are no longer supported, and many past apps are already abandoned.

Feasibility of Measuring Smartphone Accelerometry Data During a Weekly Instrumented Timed Up-and-Go Test After Emergency Department Discharge: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

Feasibility of Measuring Smartphone Accelerometry Data During a Weekly Instrumented Timed Up-and-Go Test After Emergency Department Discharge: Prospective Observational Cohort Study

For example, a systematic review of 99 studies examining adherence to mobile health apps, most of short duration and few including older adults, found an average adherence of 56% [15]. Comparing our findings to other RPM studies is difficult given the lack of reliable reporting on longitudinal engagement in prior work [20]. Our findings provide insights into technical and human factors that may have influenced protocol adherence.
