@NIH funding of #SoMe research grew 590% between 2011-17! Focus on substance use, #Mentalhealth & vulnerable populations (#MSM, young people). Little available guidance on safe #ethical practices. Thanks @cnebeker@rubiregs Sarah Dunseath! #DigitalHealth https://t.co/aeccQmCEqD

🧵Today I published a five-part investigative series exploring the emerging marketplace of "peer" support apps. These platforms connect strangers so they can give and receive emotional support.
Calling all #DigitalHealth researchers! What surveys can you use to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of new digital health interventions? Please share your answers 👇👇👇
@EGLattie Show us a “track suit” and let’s decide on the paradigm shift on conference attire! It’s important! Our @cnebeker is leaning towards the jeans/black shirt attire. Simplicity and comfort makes sense 💕
Those of us building health AI products have a problem:
Our algorithms look great—in our own data
But how will they perform elsewhere? On other machines? On diverse patients?
We’ve built a way to find out, at @Dandelion_AI4H:
A free, public service for algorithm audits
1/3 My Covid talking points for this week:
1. Case numbers, hospitalizations, positivity all tending up across the US
2. In the past, when this was linked to a single variant, it indicated we’re in for a new major wave…
Our @ReCODE_Health team is asking researchers & IRB experts to participate in a @PCORI funded study designed to evaluate risks associated with digital health research. Participants will test an interactive risk management tool. Curious?Complete this form: https://t.co/bpvIL9jMY4
@crodarte Is someone on the team bringing the ethical, legal and social implications to the convo? Just curious 🧐 our @recode_health team can consult if there is a need… that would require recognizing a need for input [this is the gap!].
This fantastic group 👇🏼 is advancing cutting edge research on #digitalhealth & #ethics to improve strategies for risk assessment, informed consent and return of info/value to study participants! Grateful to have federal funding supporting our projects!
