ng (E) possibilities were social opportunity factors. Finally, the motivation factors included positive feedback (E), available rewards (E), goal setting (E), and the perceived utility of the app (E). CONCLUSIONS Across a wide range of populations and behaviors, 26 factors relating to capability, opportunity, and motivation appear to influence the uptake of and engagement with health and well-being smartphone apps. Our recommendations may help app developers, health app portal developers, and policy makers in the optimization of health and well-being apps.BACKGROUND Continuous photoplethysmography (PPG) monitoring with a wearable device may aid the early detection of atrial fibrillation (AF). OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a ring-type wearable device (CardioTracker, CART), which can detect AF using deep learning analysis of PPG signals. METHODS Patients with persistent AF who underwent cardioversion were recruited prospectively. We recorded PPG signals at the finger with CART and a conventional pulse oximeter before and after cardioversion over a period of 15 min (each instrument). Cardiologists validated the PPG rhythms with simultaneous single-lead electrocardiography. The PPG data were transmitted to a smartphone wirelessly and analyzed with a deep learning algorithm. We also validated the deep learning algorithm in 20 healthy subjects with sinus rhythm (SR). RESULTS In 100 study participants, CART generated a total of 13,038 30-s PPG samples (5850 for SR and 7188 for AF). Using the deep learning algorithm, the diagnostic accurv NCT04023188; https//clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04023188.BACKGROUND For the last decade, doctor-patient contradiction in China has remained prominent, and workplace violence toward medical staff still occurs frequently. However, little is known about the types and laws of propagation of violence against medical staff online. OBJECTIVE By using a self-organizing map (SOM), we aimed to explore the microblog propagation law for violent incidents in China that involve medical staff, to classify the types of incidents, and to provide a basis for rapidly and accurately predicting trends in public opinion and developing corresponding measures to improve the relationship between doctors and patients. METHODS For the object of study, we selected 60 violent incidents in China involving medical staff which, caused a sensation on the Sina microblog from 2011 to 2018, searched the Web data of the microblog using crawler software, recorded the amount of new tweets every 2 hours, and used the SOM neural network to cluster the number of tweets. A method using polynomial and exponek was significantly higher than that of incidents caused by nontherapeutic effects.BACKGROUND Specialized training for elite US military units is associated with high attrition due to intense psychological and physical demands. The need to graduate more service members without degrading performance standards necessitates the identification of factors to predict success or failure in targeted training interventions. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to continuously quantify the mental and physical status of trainees of an elite military unit to identify novel predictors of success in training. METHODS A total of 3 consecutive classes of a specialized training course were provided with an Apple iPhone, Watch, and specially designed mobile app. Baseline personality assessments and continuous daily measures of mental status, physical pain, heart rate, activity, sleep, hydration, and nutrition were collected from the app and Watch data. RESULTS A total of 115 trainees enrolled and completed the study (100% male; age mean 22 years, SD 4 years) and 64 (55.7%) successfully graduated. Most training withdrawals (27/115, 23.5%) occurred by day 7 (mean 5.5 days, SD 3.4 days; range 1-22 days). GSH ic50 Extraversion, positive affect personality traits, and daily psychological profiles were associated with course completion; key psychological factors could predict withdrawals 1-2 days in advance (P=.009). CONCLUSIONS Gathering accurate and continuous mental and physical status data during elite military training is possible with early predictors of withdrawal providing an opportunity for intervention.BACKGROUND Information and communication technology (ICT) use among older adults has been on the rise in recent years. However, the predictors and mechanisms behind older adults' acceptance and use of ICT are not clear. OBJECTIVE This study aimed to systematically describe ICT usage among Czech older adults and to evaluate the factors influencing their ICT use and readiness to use digital technology to promote electronic health (eHealth) readiness. The primary focus was on psychological factors and the role of persons close to older adults. METHODS The research utilized cross-sectional survey data from a quota-based sample of Czech older adults (>50 years) and persons close to them further referred to as close persons (N=250 dyads). A structural equation modeling framework was used to evaluate relationships between psychological factors, ICT use, and eHealth readiness. RESULTS Czech older adults' use of ICT is low with the exception of cell phone usage (cell phone usage by 173/250, 69.2%; other devices used be evaluated and yielded actionable results. More research is needed to clarify the role of persons close to older adults.BACKGROUND HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is recommended for populations at high ongoing risk for infection. There are noted racial disparities in the incidence of HIV and other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) for African, Caribbean, and Canadian Black (ACB, black) populations in Ontario, Canada. Although blacks represent only 4.7% of the Ontario population, they account for 30% of HIV prevalence and 25% of new infections in the province. The existing clinical public health practice toolkit has not been sufficient to optimize PrEP uptake, despite the overwhelming evidence of PrEP's efficacy for reducing HIV transmission risk. Since its establishment as an effective HIV prevention tool, the major focus in behavioral research on PrEP has been on understanding and improving adherence. To date, there is no known formalized intervention in place designed to support ACB men and women at high risk of making high-quality decisions regarding the adoption of PrEP as an HIV prevention practice. OBJECTIVE We propose 2 aims to address these gaps in HIV prevention and implementation science.
