Factors Influencing Informed Consent Preferences in Digital Health Research: Survey Study of Prospective Participants

Factors Influencing Informed Consent Preferences in Digital Health Research: Survey Study of Prospective Participants

While all participants reviewed a total of 15 additional snippets, when they initiated the survey, they were randomly assigned to either read a set of snippets that included more risk items (called “survey A”) or more procedural items (called “survey B”). The random assignment resulted in 41 (52%) participants receiving survey A and 38 (48%) participants receiving survey B.

Tutorial for Using Control Systems Engineering to Optimize Adaptive Mobile Health Interventions

Tutorial for Using Control Systems Engineering to Optimize Adaptive Mobile Health Interventions

Classic tailoring uses if-then structures, such as if stage of change=X then Intervention=A; if stage of change=Y then intervention=B [9,10]. Although controllers can use if-then structures, they can use other structures, particularly mathematical equations and optimization algorithms that can account for multiple tailoring variables, intervention options, and responses of the person simultaneously. One can think of this like accounting. The controller keeps a ledger of measurements.

Validation of Physical Activity Tracking via Android Smartphones Compared to ActiGraph Accelerometer: Laboratory-Based and Free-Living Validation Studies

Validation of Physical Activity Tracking via Android Smartphones Compared to ActiGraph Accelerometer: Laboratory-Based and Free-Living Validation Studies

Spearman rank order correlationsa (ρ) between raw Acti Graph and raw phone counts for the laboratory study (N=15). a The Spearman correlations are between counts/min derived for the Acti Graph and the 3 Android smartphones (Motorola Cliq, HTC My Touch, and Google/HTC Nexus One). b The different models correspond to different filters (ie, no bike & standing excludes bicycling and standing; hip-only excludes measures whereby the phones were in the pocket).
