This article presents the hardware-software design and implementation of an open, integrated, and scalable healthcare platform oriented to multiple point-care scenarios for healthcare promotion and cardiovascular disease prevention. The platform has the capability to provide continuous monitoring, extended device integration, strategies based on artificial intelligence for the information analysis and cybersecurity support, delivering a secure end-to-end hardware-software solution. This platform is used to perform the remote patient health monitoring and supervision by doctors, triage procedures in hospitals, or self-care monitoring using personal devices such as tablets and cellphones. The proposed hardware architecture facilitates the integration of biomedical data acquired from different health-point cares, collecting relevant information for the detection of cardiovascular risk through deep-learning algorithms. All these characteristics make our development a strong tool to perform epidemiological profiling and future implementation of strategies for comprehensive cardiovascular risk intervention. The components of the platform are described, and their main functionalities are highlighted.

Efficacy of a clinical decision support tool to promote guideline concordant evaluations in patients with high-risk microscopic hematuria: a cluster randomized quality improvement project.

Purpose: We aimed to determine whether implementation of clinical decision support (CDS) tool integrated into the electronic health record (EHR) of a multi-site academic medical center increased the proportion of patients with American Urological Association (AUA) "high risk" microscopic hematuria (MH) who receive guideline concordant evaluations.
Materials And Methods: We conducted a two-arm cluster randomized quality improvement project in which 202 ambulatory sites from a large health system were randomized to either have their physicians receive at time of test results an automated CDS alert for patients with 'high-risk' MH with associated recommendations for imaging and cystoscopy (intervention) or usual care (control). Primary outcome was met if a patient underwent both imaging and cystoscopy within 180 days from MH result.
Objectives: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) significantly deteriorates patients' quality of life (QOL). This study examined the dynamic interplay of factors that influence QOL in patients with T2DM, utilizing concepts from positive psychology and intrinsic mechanisms, to lay the groundwork for improving patient outcomes. Improving self-management behaviors is essential for effective disease management.

Background: In China, brucellosis has resurfaced recently with a discernible spatial distribution, particularly affecting dairy herds and small ruminant populations. However, limited dissemination of knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) for brucellosis control exists among farmers and animal health staff. This study aimed to assess the KAP of brucellosis control and prevention in animal health staff and farmers, with the goal of educating the public regarding the application of efficient brucellosis control and prevention strategies.

: Social determinants of health (SDOH), such as food security and healthcare access, are key to maintaining and improving health. Publicly funded safety-net programs, such as Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, address SDOH. Many low-wage employees are program-eligible, but there are substantial participation gaps.
