Individual Factors Influencing the Public's Perceptions About the Importance of COVID-19 Immunity Certificates in the United Kingdom: Cross-sectional Web-based Questionnaire Survey.

Background: Understanding how perceptions around immunity certificates are influenced by individual characteristics is important to inform evidence-based policy making and implementation strategies for services around immunity and vaccine certification.

Objective: This study aimed to assess what were the main individual factors influencing people's perception of the importance of using COVID-19 immunity certificates, including health beliefs about COVID-19, vaccination views, sociodemographics, and lifestyle factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional web-based survey with a nationally representative sample in the United Kingdom was conducted on August 3, 2021.

Why 'one size fits all' is not enough when designing COVID-19 immunity certificates for domestic use: a UK-wide cross-sectional online survey.

Objectives: The present study explored public's willingness to use COVID-19 immunity certificates across six different domestic scenarios.

Design: Cross-sectional online survey.

Setting: UK representative survey conducted on 3 August 2021.

A Collaborative Decision Support Tool for Managing Chronic Conditions.

This paper describes work to assess the feasibility of using a decision support tool to help patients with chronic conditions, specifically stroke, manage their condition in collaboration with their carers and the health care professionals who are looking after them. The system contains several novel elements: the integration of data from commercial wellness sensors, electronic health records and clinical guidelines; the use of computational argumentation to track the source of data and to resolve conflicts and make recommendations; and argumentation-based dialogue to support interaction with patients. The proposed approach is implemented as an application that can run on smart devices (e.

Presentation of laboratory test results in patient portals: influence of interface design on risk interpretation and visual search behaviour.

Background: Patient portals are considered valuable instruments for self-management of long term conditions, however, there are concerns over how patients might interpret and act on the clinical information they access. We hypothesized that visual cues improve patients' abilities to correctly interpret laboratory test results presented through patient portals. We also assessed, by applying eye-tracking methods, the relationship between risk interpretation and visual search behaviour.

The influence of patient portals on users' decision making is insufficiently investigated: A systematic methodological review.

Background: Patient portals are considered valuable conduits for supporting patients' self-management. However, it is unknown why they often fail to impact on health care processes and outcomes. This may be due to a scarcity of robust studies focusing on the steps that are required to induce improvement: users need to effectively interact with the portal (step 1) in order to receive information (step 2), which might influence their decision-making (step 3).

Patient Portal Adoption Rates: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-Analysis.

Despite the increasing availability of online patient portals that provide access to electronic health records, little is known about their adoption by patients. We systematically reviewed the literature to investigate adoption of patient portals across studies. We searched MEDLINE and Scopus to identify relevant papers.

e-Labs and the stock of health method for simulating health policies.

Regional outcomes of national health policies are difficult to forecast. This is partly due to a lack of realistically complex models that can be used to appraise policy options and partly a lack of accessible and adaptable tools that can be used to simulate the consequences of policy decisions. These barriers might be overcome by exploiting the commoditization of massively parallel computing architectures, advances in machine learning, and the increased availability of large-scale linked healthcare data.

Verbal protocols for assessing the usability of clinical decision support: the retrospective sense making protocol.

We compare the effectiveness of two types of verbal protocol, concurrent think aloud vs. retrospective sense making, for evaluating the usability of a clinical decision support tool. Thirty-five medical and nursing students participated in a usability experiment.
