Developing an App for Real-Time Daily Life Observations in a Nursing Home Setting: Qualitative User-Centered Co-Design Approach

Developing an App for Real-Time Daily Life Observations in a Nursing Home Setting: Qualitative User-Centered Co-Design Approach

They suggested that having an additional field to securely write this information directly on the tablet would make the process more accessible. One participant explained, “We usually arrive at least half an hour earlier, so we can ask the nurses which participant corresponds to which name, and write down what they look like. We do that to find them back more easily during the observation.”

Increasing Participation and Completion Rates in Questionnaire Surveys of Primary Care Patients: Cluster-Randomized Study

Increasing Participation and Completion Rates in Questionnaire Surveys of Primary Care Patients: Cluster-Randomized Study

Fifteen practices were randomized into the “paper without incentive” group, 10 into the “paper with incentive” group, 7 into the “paper or web-based with tablet” group (ie, patients were given the option of using either paper or a tablet provided by the researchers), and 7 into the “paper or web-based via QR code” group (ie, patients were given the option of using either paper or a QR code if they had their smartphones with them).

Tablet- and Group-Based Multicomponent Cognitive Stimulation for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Single-Group Pilot Study and Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

Tablet- and Group-Based Multicomponent Cognitive Stimulation for Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment: Single-Group Pilot Study and Protocol for Randomized Controlled Trial

In particular, tablet-based CST should also be further examined in middle-income or developing countries since the expected findings will close the gaps and expand the generalizability of the theories and therapeutic technologies.

A Tablet-Based Technology for Objective Exercise Monitoring in Vestibular Rehabilitation: Mixed Methods Study

A Tablet-Based Technology for Objective Exercise Monitoring in Vestibular Rehabilitation: Mixed Methods Study

Vest Aid [8] is an innovative tablet-based app for home or clinic use to objectively track exercise compliance and provide VORx1 performance feedback to both the treating physical therapist and the participant (Figure 1). Video instruction helps participants recall how to do the VORx1 exercises and a metronome guides head speed during the exercises. With the tablet camera, facial and eye recognition software is used to analyze the accuracy of head and eye movement during the exercise.

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

The Needs and Experiences of People With Early-Stage Dementia Using an Application for Cognitive and Physical Activation in Germany: Qualitative Study

The aim of this study is to investigate the needs and requirements of people with dementia regarding the use of interactive videos on a tablet computer, including cognitive and physical tasks to maintain their independence. The study was approved by the Ethics Committee of the German Society for Nursing Science (EK-22-038), and it complies with the Declaration of Helsinki. Prior to enrollment in the study, all participants provided written informed consent. All participants were anonymized.

Smart Device Ownership and Use of Social Media, Wearable Trackers, and Health Apps Among Black Women With Hypertension in the United States: National Survey Study

Smart Device Ownership and Use of Social Media, Wearable Trackers, and Health Apps Among Black Women With Hypertension in the United States: National Survey Study

Participants reported if they had a tablet computer or a smartphone (either vs neither), how often they visited social media sites in the past 12 months (ever vs never), and whether they used a wearable device to monitor or track health or activity in the past 12 months. Tablet/smartphone owners were asked whether they had used a health or wellness app in the past 12 months.

The Dual Task Ball Balancing Test and Its Association With Cognitive Function: Algorithm Development and Validation

The Dual Task Ball Balancing Test and Its Association With Cognitive Function: Algorithm Development and Validation

Task performance is measured by examining the position of a virtual ball on the screen of a touchscreen tablet, estimated using the inertial sensors embedded in the tablet. The test can be easily adapted to a dual task condition, for example, by asking the individual to balance the ball while simultaneously doing a different, attention demanding task. The test can be completed comfortably and safely in a sitting position.

Efficacy of COMPAs, an App Designed to Support Communication Between Persons Living With Dementia in Long-Term Care Settings and Their Caregivers: Mixed Methods Implementation Study

Efficacy of COMPAs, an App Designed to Support Communication Between Persons Living With Dementia in Long-Term Care Settings and Their Caregivers: Mixed Methods Implementation Study

Specifically, photographs, music, and videos can be uploaded to a secure space through the tablet or the COMPAs website, allowing families to remotely add content to enrich their loved one’s COMPAs space. Apart from the content provided by the family, the COMPAs artificial intelligence module provides access to personalized internet content related to the person’s life history (eg, places where the person lived, favorite sports, animals, and hobbies).

Enabling People With Intellectual and Sensory Disabilities to Trigger a Tablet’s Delivery of Task Instructions by Walking to the Tablet: Proof-of-Concept Study

Enabling People With Intellectual and Sensory Disabilities to Trigger a Tablet’s Delivery of Task Instructions by Walking to the Tablet: Proof-of-Concept Study

The first approach relies on the use of computer or tablet devices that present instructions for the task steps based on participants’ requests. Typically, participants initiate the request by performing a specific action such as touching an area of the computer or tablet screen [5,9,22-24].

Factor Analysis of Patients Who Find Tablets or Capsules Difficult to Swallow Due to Their Large Size: Using the Personal Health Record Infrastructure of Electronic Medication Notebooks

Factor Analysis of Patients Who Find Tablets or Capsules Difficult to Swallow Due to Their Large Size: Using the Personal Health Record Infrastructure of Electronic Medication Notebooks

To improve this situation, it is necessary to share patient preferences regarding tablets or capsules related to the difficulty of swallowing tablets or capsules, such as what size of tablet or capsule product is best for patients and which patients are likely to find tablets or capsules difficult to swallow because of their size. Therefore, several studies have been conducted on the difficulty of swallowing tablets and capsules owing to their size [1-5].
