How Google's 'ten Things We Know To Be True' could guide the development of mental health mobile apps.

Authors:
Sarah P Jones Vikram Patel Shekhar Saxena Naomi Radcliffe Salih Ali Al-Marri Ara Darzi

Health Aff (Millwood) 2014 Sep;33(9):1603-11

Ara Darzi is executive chair of WISH, Qatar Foundation, and director of the Institute of Global Health Innovation, Imperial College London.

From 2011 to 2030, mental health conditions are projected to cost the global economy $16 trillion through lost labor and capital output. The gold standard of psychological interventions, one-on-one therapy, is too costly and too labor-intensive to keep up with the projected growth in demand for mental health services. Therefore, new solutions are needed to improve the efficiency of mental health care delivery and to increase patient self-care. Because 85 percent of the world's population has wireless signal coverage, there is an unprecedented opportunity for mobile technologies to incorporate psychological self-care into people's daily lives and relieve workforce shortages. In this article, we suggest that policy makers look to technology innovators for guidance. For example, Google's principles, called "Ten Things We Know To Be True," are useful for understanding the drivers of success in mobile technologies. For principles such as "focus on the user and all else will follow," we identify examples of how evidence-based mobile mental health technologies could increase patient self-care and reduce the demand for one-on-one psychological intervention.

Politicisation, depoliticisation, and repoliticisation of health care controversies: Vaccination and mental health care reform in the Czech Republic.

Authors:
Dino Numerato Petra A Honová Tereza Sedláčková

Soc Sci Med 2021 Apr 17;277:113916. Epub 2021 Apr 17.

Department of Sociology, Faculty of Social Sciences, Charles University Prague, Czech Republic. Electronic address:

This article analyses the politicisation of public health debates by focusing on vaccination and mental health care in the Czech Republic. The mainstream understanding of politicisation commonly refers to politics-as-sphere, linked with the political instrumentalisation of health care controversies as part of electoral campaigning and power struggles. In our analysis, we conceive politicisation more broadly, as politics-as-activity, which encompasses the role of civic engagement and the involvement of patients in these processes. Read More

Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Henry Ford Health System, 2799 W. Grand Blvd, Detroit, MI 48202 USA. Electronic address:

Purpose: The purpose of the current study was to: (1) determine the percentage of new orthopaedic patients reporting their symptoms to be acceptable at presentation, as measured by the Patient Acceptable Symptom State (PASS) question and (2) evaluate whether patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs), including Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS) Physical Function (PF) or Upper Extremity (UE), Pain Interference (PI), and Depression (D), or sociodemographic factors are associated with acceptable symptoms at presentation.

Methods: Between 2/7/2020-3/16/2020, new orthopaedic patients who completed PROMs were identified. Patient records were reviewed for those who also completed the patient acceptable symptom state (PASS) question, a yes/no question about whether a patient's current symptom state is satisfactory.
