Recruiting Young People for Digital Mental Health Research: Lessons From an AI-Driven Adaptive Trial.

Background: With increasing adoption of remote clinical trials in digital mental health, identifying cost-effective and time-efficient recruitment methodologies is crucial for the success of such trials. Evidence on whether web-based recruitment methods are more effective than traditional methods such as newspapers, media, or flyers is inconsistent. Here we present insights from our experience recruiting tertiary education students for a digital mental health artificial intelligence-driven adaptive trial-Vibe Up.

Increased oscillation rate may improve morcellation efficiency in HoLEP.

Introduction: Tissue morcellation has become increasingly efficient, yet remains a rate limiting step in holmium enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP). Limited data exists on how the rate of oscillation by the morcellator blades affects morcellation efficiency (ME).

Methods: We undertook a retrospective review of HoLEP procedures performed by two surgeons from July 1, 2019 to August 25, 2022.

Passive sensing data predicts stress in university students: a supervised machine learning method for digital phenotyping.

Introduction: University students are particularly susceptible to developing high levels of stress, which occur when environmental demands outweigh an individual's ability to cope. The growing advent of mental health smartphone apps has led to a surge in use by university students seeking ways to help them cope with stress. Use of these apps has afforded researchers the unique ability to collect extensive amounts of passive sensing data including GPS and step detection.

Use of smartphone sensor data in detecting and predicting depression and anxiety in young people (12-25 years): A scoping review.

Digital phenotyping is a promising method for advancing scalable detection and prediction methods in mental health research and practice. However, little is known about how digital phenotyping data are used to make inferences about youth mental health. We conducted a scoping review of 35 studies to better understand how passive sensing (e.
