To ascertain whether remote multimodality cardiovascular monitoring of health in pregnancy is feasible, 24 participants were asked to daily monitor body weight, heart rate, blood pressure, activity levels, and sleep patterns. Study participants took on average 4.3 (standard deviation = 2.20) home recordings of each modality per week across the 3 trimesters and 2.0 postpartum (standard deviation = 2.41), out of a recommended maximum of 7. Thus, remote monitoring indicative of cardiovascular health throughout and after pregnancy might be feasible for routine clinical care or within the context of a research study.

The increasing population density and impervious surface area have exacerbated the urban heat island effect, posing significant challenges to urban environments and sustainable development. Urban spatial morphology is crucial in mitigating the urban heat island effect. This study investigated the impact of urban spatial morphology on land surface temperature (LST) at the township scale.

Objective: To characterize structural integrity of the lumbosacral enlargement and conus medullaris within one month after spinal cord injury (SCI).
Methods: Lumbosacral cord MRI data were acquired in patients with sudden onset (<7 days) SCI at the cervical or thoracic level approximately one month after injury and in healthy controls. Tissue integrity and loss were evaluated through diffusion tensor (DTI) and T2*-weighted imaging (cross-sectional area [CSA] measurements).

Purpose Of Review: Monitoring the side effects of treatments in cancer patients is a key challenge in clinical practice, especially with the development of oral therapies.The impact on patients is multifaceted: morbidity or even life-threatening risks in the case of severe side effects; deterioration in quality of life and functional abilities; lower adherence to treatments; reduced dose intensity, which can affect the efficacy of therapies.
Recent Findings: The availability of digital tools for remote patient monitoring is transforming our ability to track these patients effectively.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.
Methods: In this single centre study, non-consecutive COPD patients were prospectively recruited for comparing their speech characteristics during and after an acute COPD exacerbation.

Objective: The objective of this pilot study is to evaluate the feasibility of using an automatic weight management system to follow patients' response to weight reduction medications and to identify early deviations from weight trajectories.
Methods: The pilot study involved 11 participants using Semaglutide for weight management, monitored over a 12-month period. A cloud-based, Wi-Fi-enabled remote weight management system collected and analyzed daily weight data from smart scales.
