Background: Personal Activity Intelligence (PAI) is a novel heart-rate-based metric used to assess cardiorespiratory fitness and quantify physical activity.
Objective: The aim of this study was to examine the feasibility, acceptability, and effectiveness of PAI with patients in a clinic setting.
Methods: Patients (n = 25) from 2 clinics underwent 12 weeks of heart-rate-monitored physical activity interfaced with aPAI Health phone app. We used a pre-post design with the Physical Activity Vital Sign and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire. Feasibility, acceptability, and PAI measures were used to evaluate the objectives.
Results: Twenty-two patients (88%) completed the study. There were significant improvements in International Physical Activity Questionnaire metabolic equivalent task minutes per week ( P = .046) and a decrease in sitting hours ( P = .0001). The Physical Activity Vital Sign activity increase in minutes per week was not significant ( P = .214). Patients achieved a mean PAI score of 116 ± 81.1 and 100 or greater 71% of the days. Most patients (81%) expressed satisfaction with PAI.
Conclusions: Personal Activity Intelligence is feasible, acceptable, and effective when used with patients in a clinic setting.

Nursing Department, Cyprus University of Technology, Limassol, Cyprus.
Objectives: Cancer-related cachexia affects approximately 50% to 80% of cancer patients and contributes significantly to cancer-related mortality, accounting for 20% of deaths. This multifactorial syndrome is characterized by systemic inflammation, anorexia, and elevated energy expenditure, leading to severe weight loss and muscle wasting. Understanding the underlying mechanisms is critical for developing effective interventions.

How tropical cyclone (TC) activity varies in response to a changing climate is widely debated. The accumulated cyclone energy (ACE) is one of the indicators of TC activity and has attracted considerable attention because of its close relationship with the damages caused by TCs. Previous studies have focused on detecting long-term trends in global ACE; however, the results are inconclusive.
