AI Article Synopsis
- A study explored the willingness of middle-aged adults in Japan to accept care technologies for bathing, revealing a lack of existing evidence on this topic.
- Out of 1,937 participants, 1,553 expressed openness to receiving assistance from such technologies.
- The study found that being female and having higher education levels were positively associated with the acceptance of these care technologies.
Article Abstract
A dearth of evidence remains regarding the acceptance of care technologies by middle-aged adults that will need long-term care in the future. Therefore, we identified the factors associated with the acceptance of care technologies for bathing among middle-aged adults in Japan. Of the 1937 participants, 1553 participants were willing to receive bathing assistance from care technologies. The factors positively related to the acceptance of care technologies were female sex and higher educational levels.

Herein, a novel and simple electrospray (ES) printing technique was developed for the fabrication of ultrathin graphene layers with precisely controlled nanometer-scale thickness, where graphene oxide (GO) was electrosprayed on wafers and subsequently chemically reduced into reduced GO (rGO). Utilizing that technique, we prepared ultrathin rGO in-plane graphene field-effect transistor (GFET)-based biosensors coupled with a portable prototype measuring system for point-of-care detection of pathogens. We illustrate the use of such prepared GFETs to detect COVID-19, using the SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid protein antigen (N-protein) and genomic viral RNA as detection targets.

Background: Processing data from electronic health records (EHRs) to build research-grade databases is a lengthy and expensive process. Modern arthroplasty practice commonly uses multiple sites of care, including clinics and ambulatory care centers. However, most private data systems prevent obtaining usable insights for clinical practice.

Background: Although technology is rapidly advancing in immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation, there is a paucity of literature to guide its implementation into health professions education, and there are no described best practices for the development of this evolving technology.
Objective: We conducted a qualitative study using semistructured interviews with early adopters of immersive VR simulation technology to investigate use and motivations behind using this technology in educational practice, and to identify the educational needs that this technology can address.
Methods: We conducted 16 interviews with VR early adopters.

Background: Conversational artificial intelligence (AI) allows for engaging interactions, however, its acceptability, barriers, and enablers to support patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are unknown.
Objective: This work stems from the Coordinating Health care with AI-supported Technology for patients with AF (CHAT-AF) trial and aims to explore patient perspectives on receiving support from a conversational AI support program.
Methods: Patients with AF recruited for a randomized controlled trial who received the intervention were approached for semistructured interviews using purposive sampling.
