Predictors of Unrelieved Symptoms in All of Us Research Program Participants With Chronic Conditions.

Context: Over half of American adults are diagnosed with a chronic condition, with an increasing prevalence being diagnosed with multiple chronic conditions. These adults are at higher risk for having unrelieved, co-occurring symptoms, known as symptom clusters.

Objectives: To identify symptom phenotypes of patients diagnosed with four common chronic conditions, specifically, cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart failure, and/or type 2 diabetes mellitus, and to understand factors that predict membership in symptomatic phenotypes.

A Sensor-Controlled Digital Game for Heart Failure Self-Care Based on Behavioral Change Frameworks.

Self-care behaviors are critical to manage the adverse impact of heart failure disease. However, engaging in self-care behaviors such as physical activity or daily weight-monitoring can be difficult due to lack of knowledge or motivation. Digital games can serve as an alternative to traditional patient education to provide information and motivate engagement in critical self-care behaviors.
