Published: August 2019

The goal of this study was to identify predictors of telerehabilitation adherence in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). An adherence prediction model was based on baseline patient characteristics. Such a model may be useful for identifying patients who require higher levels of engagements in the early stages of home telerehabilitation programs. The resulting set of predictive features included education, patient satisfaction with the program, and psychological domain of the MS Impact Scale. Resulting prediction of high and low adherence had overall 80.0% accuracy, 81.8% sensitivity, and 77.8% specificity. We concluded that the baseline patient information may be instrumental in personalizing levels of support and training necessary for active patient participation in telerehabilitation.

Precision medicine involves a paradigm shift toward personalized data-driven clinical decisions. The concept of a medical "digital twin" has recently become popular to designate digital representations of patients as a support for a wide range of data science applications. However, the concept is ambiguous when it comes to practical implementations.

Background: Many tools have been developed to predict the risk of diabetes in a population without diabetes; however, these tools have shortcomings that include the omission of race, inclusion of variables that are not readily available to patients, and low sensitivity or specificity.

Objective: We aimed to develop and validate an easy, systematic index for predicting diabetes risk in the Asian population.

Methods: We collected the data from the NAGALA (NAfld [nonalcoholic fatty liver disease] in the Gifu Area, Longitudinal Analysis) database.

Background: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) are the leading cause of death globally, and many humanitarian crises occur in countries with high NCD burdens. Peer support is a promising approach to improve NCD care in these settings. However, evidence on peer support for people living with NCDs in humanitarian settings is limited.
