Article Synopsis
- Vaccine hesitancy is a major global health threat, and this study explores using AI-driven chatbots and motivational interviewing to combat it among adults in Hong Kong.
- Researchers developed a motivational digital assistant consisting of five web-based modules, guided by established frameworks, expert evaluations, and pilot testing.
- The pilot results showed significant increases in vaccine-related health literacy and confidence, indicating the digital assistant's potential as a beneficial tool for encouraging informed vaccination decisions, with readiness for future larger trials.
Increasingly, genome-wide association studies are being used to identify positions within the human genome that have a link with a disease condition. The number of genomic locations studied means that computationally intensive and bioinformatic intensive solutions will have to be used in the analysis of these data sets. In this paper we present an integrated Workbench that provides user-friendly access to parallelized statistical genetics analysis codes for clinical researchers.

The study of the genetics of diseases is entering a new era. Increasingly, genome-wide association studies are being used to identify positions within the human genome that have a link with a disease condition. The number of genomic locations studied means that High Performance Computing (HPC) solutions will have to increasingly be used in the statistical analysis of these data sets.
