Article Abstract

Home monitoring is a promising technology to deal with the increasing amount of chronically ill patients while ensuring quality of medical care. Most systems available today depend on a high degree of interaction between the user and the device. Especially for people relying on advanced levels of care, this scheme is impracticable. In this paper, we are presenting an "intelligent toilet" performing an extensive health check while being as simple to use as a conventional toilet. The main focus of the system is to support the treatment of diabetes and chronic heart failure, but additional applications are possible.

Data gathering for diagnostic purposes often relies on psychological instruments and validated tests applied individually through in person interviews. Such an approach is limited since it relies on a subjective perception of the individual as well as their abilities to recall information concerning their behaviors, thoughts, and feelings. Thus, the accuracy of the assessment tends to be unreliable and prone to bias, stigma, as well as subjective interpretations.

Smartphone-based digital trace data can offer powerful insights for identifying behavioral patterns and health risks. However, existing tools for comprehensive data collection lack scalability, customizability, transparency, and accessibility. To address these gaps, we developed an open-source platform that enables in-situ capture of multimodal digital traces from smartphones (e.

Unobtrusive in-vehicle measurement and the monitoring of physiological signals have recently attracted researchers in industry and academia as an innovative approach that can provide valuable information about drivers' health and status. The main goal is to reduce the number of traffic accidents caused by driver errors by monitoring various physiological parameters and devising appropriate actions to alert the driver or to take control of the vehicle. The research on this topic is in its early stages.

Introduction: Depression and anxiety are highly prevalent mental health conditions that significantly affect quality of life and cause societal burdens. However, their detection and diagnosis rates remain low owing to the limitations of the current screening methods. With rapid technological advancements and the proliferation of consumer-grade wearable devices and smartphones, their integration into digital phenotyping research has enabled the unobtrusive screening for depression and anxiety in natural settings.

Digital survey tools have all but replaced paper and pen in the psychological sciences, and consequently new forms of potentially useful research paradata are now routinely gathered. A particularly common byproduct of research is questionnaire timestamps, which some have suggested can be used as a measure of cognitive function. Here, we conducted a comprehensive validation of this measure, which we call the "digital questionnaire response time," or "DQRT.
