Evaluating the Acceptability and Utility of a Personalized Wellness App (Aspire2B) Using AI-Enabled Digital Biomarkers: Engagement Enhancement Pilot Study

Evaluating the Acceptability and Utility of a Personalized Wellness App (Aspire2B) Using AI-Enabled Digital Biomarkers: Engagement Enhancement Pilot Study

As barriers to accessing personal information about biological age are reduced, the field needs a series of rigorous studies to assess the feasibility and acceptability of apps that leverage the appeal of biological age to drive and maintain engagement in wellness programs, ultimately leading to positive changes in wellness behavior. Our study aimed to address several key questions. First, we explored who uses the app by examining participants’ characteristics.

Identifying Optimal Wearable Devices for Monitoring Mobility in Hospitalized Older Adults: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Validity Study

Identifying Optimal Wearable Devices for Monitoring Mobility in Hospitalized Older Adults: Feasibility, Acceptability, and Validity Study

Specifically, we aimed to (1) compare the feasibility and acceptability of different wearable devices to assess mobility for long-term continuous monitoring during inpatient hospital stays among older hospitalized patients, and (2) for the selected device from aim 1, determine its concurrent validity for detecting body posture and step count. To fulfill the study aims we performed 2 experiments with 2 independent samples.

Acceptability of and Willingness to Use Virtual Reality Exergames for Weight Loss Among Young Adults With Overweight or Obesity in China: Qualitative Study

Acceptability of and Willingness to Use Virtual Reality Exergames for Weight Loss Among Young Adults With Overweight or Obesity in China: Qualitative Study

Still, limited research has been conducted on the use of VR exergames among young adults with overweight and obesity and their willingness and acceptability remain unclear. Consequently, in this study, the aim was to evaluate the willingness and acceptability to use VR exergames by young adults with overweight or obesity in weight loss settings through focus group interviews. This study adopted a qualitative approach using semistructured interviews to elucidate the viewpoints of the participants.

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

A Rent Subsidy and Identity Capital Intervention for Youth Exiting Homelessness: Protocol for the Transitioning Youth Out of Homelessness 2.0 Pilot Randomized Controlled Trial

This pilot feasibility and acceptability study was designed with the intention of generating data and hypotheses to inform a full-scale study; therefore, no formal sample size calculation was performed. Instead, we chose a pragmatic sample size of 40 participants, based on the financial resources available to provide rent subsidies and coaching over a 12-month period.
