Gamified mHealth System for Evaluating Upper Limb Motor Performance in Children: Cross-Sectional Feasibility Study

Gamified mHealth System for Evaluating Upper Limb Motor Performance in Children: Cross-Sectional Feasibility Study

Customizable features of the prototype allow for the design and implementation of game-based protocols considering different cohorts, age groups, and mechanisms of UL function. (2) To develop mathematical and analytical techniques to quantify spatiotemporal measures of whole-limb movement, fine motor precision, and bimanual coordination.

Analyzing Patient Experience on Weibo: Machine Learning Approach to Topic Modeling and Sentiment Analysis

Analyzing Patient Experience on Weibo: Machine Learning Approach to Topic Modeling and Sentiment Analysis

We conducted spatiotemporal analysis of the volume, sentiment, and topic of patient experience–related posts on the Weibo platform. Figure 1 shows an overview of this study, which included three distinct stages: (1) data collection and cleaning, (2) data selection and coding, and (3) data analysis and interpretation. Study design.

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Risk Factors for All and Severity-Specific Preterm Births in Southern China, 2014-2021: Large Population-Based Study

Spatiotemporal Characteristics and Risk Factors for All and Severity-Specific Preterm Births in Southern China, 2014-2021: Large Population-Based Study

Our study specifically investigated the spatiotemporal aspects and risk factors associated with PTB in 21 cities in southern China from 2014 to 2021. This research aimed to guide the development of public health and health care policies that address regional health equity and balanced development. The data for this study were sourced from the Maternal and Child Health Information System of Guangdong Province, China.

Prospective Spatiotemporal Cluster Detection Using SaTScan: Tutorial for Designing and Fine-Tuning a System to Detect Reportable Communicable Disease Outbreaks

Prospective Spatiotemporal Cluster Detection Using SaTScan: Tutorial for Designing and Fine-Tuning a System to Detect Reportable Communicable Disease Outbreaks

Since 2014, to help prioritize resources for case and outbreak investigations and response activities, the BCD has automated daily analyses to prospectively detect and monitor spatiotemporal clusters of reportable communicable diseases using Sa TScan [2,3]. Sa TScan (an abbreviation of Space and Time Scan Statistics) is a free software that analyzes data using scan statistics [4], which can detect increased disease activity without a priori specification of temporal period, geographic location, or size.

Gait Features in Different Environments Contributing to Participation in Outdoor Activities in Old Age (GaitAge): Protocol for an Observational Cross-Sectional Study

Gait Features in Different Environments Contributing to Participation in Outdoor Activities in Old Age (GaitAge): Protocol for an Observational Cross-Sectional Study

Gait variability, defined as fluctuations in spatiotemporal characteristics between steps increases with age [3,6] and is associated with increasing risk of developing mobility difficulties [7]. Spatiotemporal and kinematic parameters of gait provide important information, but outcomes are usually based on a treadmill or laboratory overground gait, which may be significantly different from walking outdoors.

Using In-Shoe Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors to Understand Daily-Life Gait Characteristics in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures During 6 Months of Recovery: Cross-Sectional Study

Using In-Shoe Inertial Measurement Unit Sensors to Understand Daily-Life Gait Characteristics in Patients With Distal Radius Fractures During 6 Months of Recovery: Cross-Sectional Study

We aimed to reveal the characteristics of spatiotemporal gait changes during 6 months following DRF. This study was approved by the Institutional Review Board of Tokyo Medical and Dental University (M2020-365) and followed the tenets of the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent was provided by all participants. Participation in the study was voluntary, and no compensation was awarded for participation.

Effect of Rapid Urbanization in Mainland China on the Seasonal Influenza Epidemic: Spatiotemporal Analysis of Surveillance Data From 2010 to 2017

Effect of Rapid Urbanization in Mainland China on the Seasonal Influenza Epidemic: Spatiotemporal Analysis of Surveillance Data From 2010 to 2017

In this study, we aimed to explore the effects of urbanization on seasonal influenza epidemic intensities in urban Mainland China (except Hong Kong, Macao, and Taiwan) according to the spatiotemporal analyses and modelling study of influenza surveillance data collected in Mainland China from 2010 to 2017. We used weekly reports of influenza surveillance data from the Chinese National Influenza Center.

Spatiotemporal Trends in Self-Reported Mask-Wearing Behavior in the United States: Analysis of a Large Cross-sectional Survey

Spatiotemporal Trends in Self-Reported Mask-Wearing Behavior in the United States: Analysis of a Large Cross-sectional Survey

This lack of fine-scale spatiotemporal data has forced public health organizations to adopt an inefficient one-size-fits-all approach to encourage masking nationwide, rather than directing resources and messaging to areas with the lowest uptake. Here, we identify the spatiotemporal trends in self-reported data on mask-wearing behavior across the United States from a large survey distributed from September 2020 to May 2021.
