Horse Diagnosis and Triage Accuracy of GPT-4o.

Animal owners may increasingly rely on large language models for gathering animal health information alongside internet sources in the future. This study therefore aims to provide initial results on the accuracy of ChatGPT-4o in triage and tentative diagnostics, using horses as a case study. Ten test vignettes were used to prompt situation assessments from the tool, which were then compared to original assessments made by a veterinary specialist for horses.

Designing an mHealth Application to Support Horse Owners in Assessing Their Horse's Health Status - Results of a Usability Test.

Introduction: Existing research agrees that a well-thought design of the user interface is a key point for an mHealth application for animal owners, supporting them obtain information and make decisions regarding their pet's specific situation. However, there is currently a lack of specific advice on the design of such an application.

Methods: As part of a user-centered design (UCD) process, a formative, explorative usability test with n = 5 users was conducted for collecting design ideas.

User Drafts for the Design of an mHealth Application for Equestrians.

A study was conducted to find out user ideas for the design and workflow of an mHealth application supporting triage of horses by equestrians. Results focus on information input elements and also include some requirements for information.

Analysis of the Usage Context of an mHealth Application for Equestrians.

Introduction: One possibility to support veterinarians in times of a vet shortage is by providing animal owners with a technical decision support for deciding whether their animal needs to be seen by a vet. As the first step in the user-centered development of such an mHealth application for equestrians, an analysis of the context of use was done.

Methods: The analysis was carried out by reviewing existing literature and conducting an online survey with 100 participants.

Requirements to mHealth Applications for Animal Owners: A Narrative Review.

A narrative literature review was conducted to determine software requirements to mHealth applications for animal owners. Results focus on securing a complete user input, providing adequately formulated information to the users and ensuring the understanding of the applications limitations.

A pilot RCT of psychodynamic group art therapy for patients in acute psychotic episodes: feasibility, impact on symptoms and mentalising capacity.

Unlabelled: This pilot study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of an assessor-blind, randomised controlled trial of psychodynamic art therapy for the treatment of patients with schizophrenia, and to generate preliminary data on the efficacy of this intervention during acute psychotic episodes. Fifty-eight inpatients with DSM-diagnoses of schizophrenia were randomised to either 12 twice-weekly sessions of psychodynamic group art therapy plus treatment as usual or to standard treatment alone. Primary outcome criteria were positive and negative psychotic and depressive symptoms as well as global assessment of functioning.
