In the provision of patient-centered care, healthcare professionals face a challenging triad that is analogous to the classical "Three-Body Problem" in physics, whereby any shifts in the dynamics of medical knowledge, narrative competence and digital technologies can tip the balance of healthcare education and practice. Drugs/Medications are often caught in the dichotomy of being both "heroes" and "villains", which underscores the necessity of a balanced, informed, and empathetic approach to patient care. Drawing inspiration from the popular novel and Netflix series, the dynamic interplay between the science of medical knowledge, the art of empathy and narrative competence, and the advancement of healthcare technologies to harmonise the diverse, yet interconnected domains, of medication management, medical humanities and digital health is demonstrated - in the emerging field of Digital Health Humanities. The novel project called M.A.G.I.C. is revealed, that blends the rigour of medical science with the nuanced understanding of patient narratives, and the cutting-edge potential of digital innovations like Generative Artificial Intelligence and the Metaverse, to create a holistic, learner-centered approach for the education of the healthcare professions.

Person-Specific Analyses of Smartphone Use and Mental Health: An Intensive Longitudinal Study Over One Year.
JMIR Form Res
December 2024
Department of Communication, Stanford University, Stanford, US.
Background: Contrary to popular concerns about the harmful effects of media use on mental health, research on this relationship is ambiguous, stalling advances in theory, interventions, and policy. Scientific explorations of the relationship between media and mental health have mostly found null or small associations, with the results often blamed on the use of cross-sectional study designs or imprecise measures of media use and mental health.
Objective: This exploratory empirical demonstration aimed to answer whether mental health effects are associated with media use experiences by (1) redirecting research investments to granular and intensive longitudinal recordings of digital experiences to build models of media use and mental health for single individuals over the course of one entire year, (2) using new metrics of fragmented media use to propose explanations of mental health effects that will advance person-specific theorizing in media psychology, and (3) identifying combinations of media behaviors and mental health symptoms that may be more useful for studying media effects than single measures of dosage and affect or assessments of clinical symptoms related to specific disorders.
A Patient-Oriented Implementation Strategy for a Perioperative mHealth Intervention: Feasibility Cohort Study.

Background: Day surgery is being increasingly implemented across Europe, driven in part by capacity problems. Patients recovering at home could benefit from tools tailored to their new care setting to effectively manage their convalescence. The mHealth application ikHerstel is one such tool, but although it administers its functions in the home, its implementation hinges on health care professionals within the hospital.

Department of Public Health, Faculty of Medicine, University of Helsinki, Helsinki, Finland.
Background: To successfully design, develop, implement, and deliver digital health services that provide value, they should be cocreated with patients. However, occasionally, the value may also be codestructed. In the field of health care, the concepts of value cocreation and codestruction still need to be better established within emerging digital health services.

Background: With increasing adoption of remote clinical trials in digital mental health, identifying cost-effective and time-efficient recruitment methodologies is crucial for the success of such trials. Evidence on whether web-based recruitment methods are more effective than traditional methods such as newspapers, media, or flyers is inconsistent. Here we present insights from our experience recruiting tertiary education students for a digital mental health artificial intelligence-driven adaptive trial-Vibe Up.
