Introduction: Digital interventions present a scalable solution to overcome barriers to smoking cessation treatment, and changes in resting heart rate (HR) may offer a viable option for monitoring smoking status remotely. The goal of this study was to explore the acceptability of using smartphone cameras and activity trackers to measure heart rate for use in a smoking cessation intervention.
Methods: Participants (N=410), most of whom identified as female (75.
Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed data from an Ontario-wide concussion study to identify factors predicting persistent concussion symptoms in patients with acute concussions (≤ 14 days) compared to those with prolonged symptoms (≥ 90 days).* -
- The study found no significant differences in sex, mental health history, headaches/migraines, or past concussions between the two groups, but noted higher proportions of females among both groups.* -
- Patients with prolonged post-concussion symptoms were older, more symptomatic, more likely to have been injured in transport incidents, and often lived outside major cities, suggesting the need for updated risk factor evaluations as concussions increasingly affect non-athletes.*
Temporal recalibration (TR) may arise to realign asynchronous stimuli after exposure to a short, constant delay between voluntary movement and sensory stimulus. The objective of this study was to determine if awareness of the temporal lag between a motor response (i.e.
