Background: Malnutrition is prevalent among children with cancer and is often exacerbated by diminished appetite. To combat this, hospitalized children are increasingly adopting mukbang, a popular online eating show genre. Objective: This study aimed to assess the associations between mukbang watching and appetite, nutrition, and quality of life in children with cancer. Methods: From September […]

Health care is undergoing rapid change due to digitalization, artificial intelligence, data-driven decision-making, and shifting patient needs. These developments raise complex ethical, social, and organizational questions that cannot always be addressed by conventional research methods alone. There is a growing need for tools that help stakeholders imagine alternative futures to surface underlying values. Futures studies […]

Background: Regular moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) reduces the risk of noncommunicable diseases, yet one-third of adults globally fail to meet MVPA recommendations. Office employees, among the least active groups, face heightened risks due to prolonged sedentary behavior and barriers like lack of time, fatigue, and low motivation. Although scalable, web-based interventions frequently face challenges, such […]

Background: Digital tools continue to evolve and have the potential to improve health care delivery. However, they are associated with challenges, including accessibility issues and health misinformation. Individuals need eHealth literacy (eHL) to reliably use these tools, and providers require appropriate eHL measurement approaches to offer targeted solutions. For around 2 decades, researchers have been […]

Background: Survivors of cardiac arrest often face multifaceted challenges—cognitive, emotional, physical, and existential—that extend beyond clinical recovery. Despite these long-term consequences, follow-up care is often insufficient, and access to reliable information and support remains limited. Broader initiatives to address post–cardiac arrest care are still lacking. This qualitative study represents the initial phase of a multiphase […]

Using a crowdsource model, we developed a web-based platform for medical school application tracking and data aggregation.

Background: Applying digital health technologies (DHTs) for health promotion and disease prevention is recommended by official bodies such as the World Health Organization. User-centered co-design with systematic patient and public involvement is considered best practice for developing such complex interventions. Although well-established methodological guides and frameworks are available, an important gap is that they are […]

Background: Many inductive reviews exploring telehealth and its application in health care have identified missing or inconsistently reported implementation data, calling for a standardized approach to telehealth research. Objective: Using cystic fibrosis (CF) as a case exemplar, this study evaluated the adherence of telehealth research to standardized reporting frameworks through a theory-based evaluation lens to […]
