Remote patient monitoring (RPM) enables healthcare professionals to virtually care for patients. This paper presents a novel RPM system, 'Leo' that includes a wearable chest patch, adhesives, charging cable, mobile application and a cloud-based analytics platform. It records ECG, impedance, accelerometer and gyroscope signals and outputs heart rate (HR), respiration rate (RR) and body position. To test the performance of Leo, 35 children were recruited. The study consisted of 2 clinic visits on consecutive days. During which the Leo system was compared with gold-standard devices for HR and RR while participants performed different breathing maneuvers in different positions. Between visits, participants wore the Leo device for up to 24 hours at-home while continuing their daily activities. During clinic visits, HR measured by Leo was highly correlated with gold-standard (r = 0.99). RR measured by Leo was also very high correlated with gold-standard (r = 0.97). For 24 hour at-home monitoring, the Leo was able to collect on average 17.4 hours of data per participant. These results highlight the potential clinical use of Leo as an RPM system.

Background: Telenursing has become prevalent in providing care to diverse populations experiencing different health conditions both in Israel and globally. The nurse-patient relationship aims to improve the condition of individuals requiring health services.
Objectives: This study aims to evaluate nursing graduates' skills and knowledge regarding remote nursing care prior to and following a simulation-based telenursing training program in an undergraduate nursing degree.

Background: Acceptance and commitment therapy provides a psychobehavioral framework feasible for digital and hybrid weight loss interventions. In face-to-face studies, group-based interventions yield more favorable outcomes than individual interventions, but the effect of the intervention form has not been studied in combination with eHealth.
Objective: This study investigated whether a minimal, 3-session group or individual enhancement could provide additional benefits compared to an eHealth-only intervention when assessing weight, body composition, and laboratory metrics in a sample of occupational health patients with obesity.
Importance: Exercise intervention studies have shown benefits for patients with lung cancer undergoing surgery, yet most interventions to date have been resource intensive and have followed a one-size-fits-all approach.
Objective: To determine whether a personalized, clinic-aligned perioperative exercise program with remote monitoring and instructions can improve physical function and fatigue among patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer.
Design, Setting, And Participants: The Precision-Exercise-Prescription (PEP) randomized clinical trial is a single-center phase 3 trial.

Introduction: Post-stroke cognitive impairment is associated with impaired quality of life. Remote testing provides a potential avenue to measure cognitive outcomes efficiently.
Patients And Methods: Prospective cognitive outcomes were collected at 90-180 days using both telephone MoCA (T-MoCA; range 0-22; <17 impairment) and Creyos, a computerized cognitive battery.

Carcinoma of unknown primary site represents a heterogeneous group of malignancies that present with lymph node or distant metastases, for which diagnostic work-up fails to identify the site of origin. Their incidence relative to total head and neck cancers ranges from as low as 1.7 to 2.
