Knowledge-Based Dietary Intake Recommendations of Nutrients for Pediatric Patients with Maple Syrup Urine Disease.

Maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) is a metabolic disorder characterized by a difficulty to digest and process proteins necessary for growth. To monitor and maintain the ideal growth of children with MSUD, caregivers need to carefully control the consumption of harmful branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs). The dietary limits of amino acids for MSUD patients are recommended and controlled by pediatricians and metabolic dietitians according to age, height, weight, and the prevailing percentage of amino acids in the body.

Utilizing geospatial intelligence and user modeling to allow for a customized health awareness campaign during the pandemic: The case of COVID-19 in Saudi Arabia.

Background: As of 2022, people are getting better at learning how to coexist with the Covid-19 global pandemic. In Saudi Arabia, many attempts have been made to raise public health awareness. However, most health awareness campaigns are generic and might not influence the desired behavior among individuals.

The Effects of Empowerment on Health Care Worker Performance During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Saudi Arabia.

Background And Objectives: In this study, we assessed the potential impact of employee empowerment on health care workers' performance during the novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. In particular, we aimed to determine the empowerment practices that would have the greatest positive effect on employee performance. Understanding the relationship between performance and empowerment can help health care providers better manage worker stress during any global crisis.

An Intelligent System for Proper Management and Disposal of Unused and Expired Medications.

For years, several countries have been concerned about how to dispose of unused pharmaceuticals that can endanger human health and the environment. Moreover, some people are in desperate need of medical attention and medications, but they lack the financial resources to obtain them. In Saudi Arabia, there are no take-back medicine programs, and there is no published research on how medications properly are disposed.

Promoting precautionary behavior during the COVID-19 pandemic: Development and validation of a behavior-change messaging campaign.

Background: Designing a health promotion campaign is never an easy task, especially during a pandemic of a highly infectious disease such as COVID-19. In Saudi Arabia, many attempts have been made to raise public awareness about COVID-19 infection and precautionary health measures. However, most of the health information delivered through the national dashboard and the COVID-19 awareness campaigns are generic and do not necessarily make the impact needed to be seen on individuals' behavior.

The Effect of a Customized Nutrient-Profiling Approach on the Glycated Hemoglobin Levels of Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: Quasi-Experimental Study.

Background: Presently, dietary management approaches are mostly oriented toward using calorie-counting and diet-tracking tools that draw our attention away from the nutritional value of our food. To improve individuals' dietary behavior, primarily that of people with type 2 diabetes, a simple technique is needed to increase their understanding of the nutritional content of their food.

Objective: This study aimed to design, develop, and evaluate a customized nutrient-profiling tool called EasyNutrition.

Modeling user rating preference behavior to improve the performance of the collaborative filtering based recommender systems.

One of the main concerns for online shopping websites is to provide efficient and customized recommendations to a very large number of users based on their preferences. Collaborative filtering (CF) is the most famous type of recommender system method to provide personalized recommendations to users. CF generates recommendations by identifying clusters of similar users or items from the user-item rating matrix.

A comprehensive study of mobile-health based assistive technology for the healthcare of dementia and Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Assistive technology (AT) involvement in therapeutic treatment has provided simple and efficient healthcare solutions to people. Within a short span of time, mobile health (mHealth) has grown rapidly for assisting people living with a chronic disorder. This research paper presents the comprehensive study to identify and review existing mHealth dementia applications (apps), and also synthesize the evidence of using these applications in assisting people with dementia including Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their caregivers.

Applying the Concept of Nutrient-Profiling to Promote Healthy Eating and Raise Individuals' Awareness of the Nutritional Quality of their Food.

Diet-related chronic diseases are on the rise. Current dietary management approaches are mostly calorie-counter tools that draw our attention away from the nutritional quality of our food choices. To improve consumers' dietary behavior, we need a simple technique to educate them about nutrition and increase their understanding of the nutritional quality of their food.
