OB Nest: Reimagining Low-Risk Prenatal Care.

Using a human-centered design method, our team sought to envision a new model of care for women experiencing low-risk pregnancy. This model, called OB Nest, aimed to demedicalize the experience of pregnancy by providing a supportive and empowering experience that fits within patients' daily lives. To explore this topic, we invited women to use self-monitoring tools, a text-based smartphone application to communicate with their care team, and moderated online communities to connect with other pregnant women.

A Survey of Perceptions and Acceptance of Wearable Technology for Health Monitoring in a Urological Patient Population.

Introduction: Through real-time monitoring of biophysical parameters, physical activity monitors may represent a medium by which urologists can actively engage patients and improve treatment outcomes. We examined patient reported acceptance of physical activity monitor technology in an ambulatory urology setting.

Methods: Patients treated at a single urology department during a 6-month period were identified.

Efficiency, satisfaction, and costs for remote video visits following radical prostatectomy: a randomized controlled trial.

Background: Telemedicine in an ambulatory surgical population remains incompletely evaluated.

Objective: To investigate patient encounters in the outpatient setting using video visit (VV) technology compared to traditional office visits (OVs).

Design, Setting, And Participants: From June 2013 to March 2014, 55 prescreened men with a history of prostate cancer were prospectively randomized.

Are Patients Willing to Engage in Telemedicine for Their Care: A Survey of Preuse Perceptions and Acceptance of Remote Video Visits in a Urological Patient Population.

Objective: To examine patient preuse acceptance and perceptions of video visit (VV) technology within an ambulatory urology setting.

Methods: Patients treated by a single urology department from January to June 2013 were identified. A Web-based survey was conducted evaluating patient demographics, preuse perceptions, and acceptance of VV.

Perceptions of video-based appointments from the patient's home: a patient survey.

Background: We examined patient interest in a telehealth model in which the patient supplies the hardware and Internet connectivity to meet with a healthcare provider from his or her home via video call (video appointment). We hoped to understand prospectively the desirability, feasibility, and viability from the patient perspective.

Materials And Methods: A phone survey was conducted of a random sample of patients who had been seen in the outpatient setting at a single institution.
