Health care workers face numerous occupational stressors that place them at heightened risk for burnout and poor mental health. Internet-delivered interventions have shown promise in reducing stress and related symptoms, yet adherence is often low, and users do not complete programs. Abbreviated interventions may help address engagement barriers such as high workload, limited time, and varying user preferences. There is a need to evaluate brief, accessible formats of internet-delivered programs for this population.

Surgeons work in a progressive field where communicating research is vital to advancing health care and enabling meaningful interactions among clinicians. It also contributes to societal impact, increases access to information, and reduces misinformation. Additionally, there can be barriers to accessing papers. Social media enhances research impact through sharing scholarly work and improving its translation into clinical practice, but little is known about how to design specific posts to maximize research impact through language.

Children with disabling conditions encounter numerous challenges in participating in physical activity within their community. Telehealth has emerged as an ideal method for promoting physical health and wellness, but there is a need to identify optimal implementation strategies.

Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) face higher risks of major adverse cardiovascular events than the general population. While machine learning offers powerful predictive capabilities, its clinical adoption is hindered by the “black-box” nature of complex algorithms.

Teachers play a fundamental role in the educational system and carry significant responsibilities. However, various occupational demands may compromise their health and well-being. At present, empirical data on the specific correlates of health and well-being among teachers in Germany remain limited, for example, regarding the relevance of health literacy.

This study assessed primary care providers’ comfort with prescribing and using continuous glucose monitoring technology for type 2 diabetes management, identifying key barriers and educational needs.

Wearable inertial measurement units (IMUs) offer scalable, objective gait assessment, but detailed stride-level validation against motion capture and their ability to reflect physical activity (PA)–related gait differences in knee osteoarthritis (KOA) remain incompletely characterized.

This study evaluates the dynamic clinical reasoning of 4 leading large language models in complex nephrology cases, demonstrating that while Gemini 2.5 Pro achieved the highest reasoning scores and computational efficiency, all tested models excelled at static data synthesis but shared vulnerabilities in formulating nuanced differential diagnoses and in prospective clinical planning.

Type 2 diabetes is a major public health concern in older adults. Healthy lifestyles, such as physical activity and healthy eating, are effective strategies for diabetes self-management. Increasing evidence shows that health technologies can promote healthy lifestyles for diabetes management. However, limited research has evaluated their use among older adults with type 2 diabetes.

Asthma care gaps between best practice and clinical practice contribute to the burden of asthma on individuals and society. Electronic medical records (EMRs) provide a unique opportunity to integrate novel e-tools at the point of care.

The flower strains of cannabis are an important attribute that determines product appeal and health impacts. However, there is a lack of surveillance of cannabis strains as the marketplace expands in response to the growing legalization of recreational and medical cannabis.

Smoking continues to be a leading cause of preventable morbidity and mortality, and more than 480,000 Americans die annually due to smoking-related illness attributable to smoking and secondhand smoke. More advanced, responsive, and tailored digital interventions using machine learning and artificial intelligence may be a valuable tool for successful smoking cessation referrals.
