An App for Navigating Patient Transportation and Acute Stroke Care in Northwestern Ontario Using Machine Learning: Retrospective Study

An App for Navigating Patient Transportation and Acute Stroke Care in Northwestern Ontario Using Machine Learning: Retrospective Study

The data set consists of deidentified data from January 1, 2008, to December 30, 2020, including the pickup location of the patient, the destination of the patient (either a hospital location, airport, or helipad), and the dispatch priority. The data set was cleaned to include only hospital locations that would have a recommended “driving” journey to definitive stroke care based on NWO limitations.

Visual “Scrollytelling”: Mapping Aquatic Selfie-Related Incidents in Australia

Visual “Scrollytelling”: Mapping Aquatic Selfie-Related Incidents in Australia

Map coordinates were obtained by locating the incident using Google Maps and inputted into a coordinate finder using the Mapbox Location Helper [3]. Mapbox Studio [4] was used to create a custom map. A satellite template was chosen to best display the geographic context surrounding each selfie incident. The data set was imported into the Mapbox Studio custom map, which populated the data layer onto the map. A heat map setting was chosen for the data.

Geospatial Imprecision With Constraints for Precision Public Health: Algorithm Development and Validation

Geospatial Imprecision With Constraints for Precision Public Health: Algorithm Development and Validation

Social determinants of health are the conditions in which individuals are born, live, work, and age; mesolevel determinants are from the physical environment and encompass items such as geographic location and access to resources [3]. Location-based exposures tied to geographic location are a pivotal element to one’s health [4-6]; ongoing research suggests that zip code is on par with genetic code in influencing individual health [7-10].

Impact of Hospital Characteristics and Governance Structure on the Adoption of Tracking Technologies for Clinical and Supply Chain Use: Longitudinal Study of US Hospitals

Impact of Hospital Characteristics and Governance Structure on the Adoption of Tracking Technologies for Clinical and Supply Chain Use: Longitudinal Study of US Hospitals

The second set included the hospital location variables. Hospital location was measured using 3 dummy variables: metropolitan, micropolitan, and rural regions. We also measured the state economic condition where the hospital is located because previous studies found that per capita GDP plays an important role in technology adoption and use [43,44].

Investigating Health Context Using a Spatial Data Analytical Tool: Development of a Geospatial Big Data Ecosystem

Investigating Health Context Using a Spatial Data Analytical Tool: Development of a Geospatial Big Data Ecosystem

This includes accessibility, surrounding natural and built environments, social behaviors, and any related location-specific exposures, understanding that these elements change across geographic areas, scales, and time. Impactful health research that can be applied to real-world issues and problems must be grounded within the context of place [5-7]. Location and the location’s context both matter [8-10]!

On-site Dining in Tokyo During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Time Series Analysis Using Mobile Phone Location Data

On-site Dining in Tokyo During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Time Series Analysis Using Mobile Phone Location Data

Mobile phone location data can be used to monitor changes in human behavior across different locations in a country. These data indicate whether people are staying in the same location or moving around. The effects of public health and social measures to suppress COVID-19 transmission range from reduction of travel to distant locations to increased fractions of people staying at home, as assessed by mobile phone location data [14,15].

The Reliability of Remote Patient-Reported Outcome Measures via Mobile Apps to Replace Outpatient Visits After Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery: Repetitive Test-Retest Comparison Study for 1-Year Follow-up

The Reliability of Remote Patient-Reported Outcome Measures via Mobile Apps to Replace Outpatient Visits After Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery: Repetitive Test-Retest Comparison Study for 1-Year Follow-up

In order for remote PROMs to be widely used by the mobile app, the results should not be different depending on the location; that is, remote PROM results performed in locations other than hospitals should be able to obtain reliable results equivalent to those performed in hospitals, and this is very important.
