Feasibility and Acceptability of Pediatric Smartphone Lung Auscultation by Pare...
Santos-Silva, C; Ferreira-Cardoso, H; Silva, S; Vieira-Marques, P; Valente, JC; Almeida, R; Fonseca, JA; Santos, C; Azevedo, I; Jácome, CBackground: The use of a smartphone built-in microphone for auscultation is a feasible alternative to the use of a stethoscope, when applied by physicians. Objective: This cross-sectional study aims to assess the feasibility of this technology when used by parents—the real intended end users. Methods: Physicians recruited 46 children (male: n=33, 72%; age: mean 11.3, SD 3.1 y; children with asthma: n=24, 52%) d...
Multidisciplinary Development and Initial Validation of a Clinical Knowledge Ba...
Pereira, AM; Jácome, C; Jacinto, T; Amaral, R; Pereira, M; Sá-Sousa, A; Couto, M; Vieira-Marques, P; Martinho, D; Vieira, A; Almeida, A; Martins, CMost mobile health (mHealth) decision support systems currently available for chronic obstructive respiratory diseases (CORDs) are not supported by clinical evidence or lack clinical validation. The development of the knowledge base that will feed the clinical decision support system is a crucial step that involves the collection and systematization of clinical knowledge from relevant scientific sources and its...

Monitoring Adherence to Asthma Inhalers Using the InspirerMundi App: Analysis o...
Jácome, C; Almeida, R; Pereira, AM; Amaral, R; Vieira-Marques, P; Mendes, S; Alves-Correia, M; Ferreira, JA; Lopes, I; Gomes, J; Araújo, L; Couto, MBackground: Poor medication adherence is a major challenge in asthma and objective assessment of inhaler adherence is needed. InspirerMundi app aims to monitor inhaler adherence while turning it into a positive experience through gamification and social support. Objective: We assessed the medium-term feasibility of the InspirerMundi app to monitor inhaler adherence in real-world patients with persistent asthma ...
Lung Auscultation Using the Smartphone-Feasibility Study in Real-World Clinical...
Ferreira-Cardoso, H; Jácome, C; Silva, S; Amorim, A; Redondo, MT; Fontoura-Matias, J; Vicente-Ferreira, M; Vieira-Marques, P; Valente, J; Almeida, RConventional lung auscultation is essential in the management of respiratory diseases. However, detecting adventitious sounds outside medical facilities remains challenging. We assessed the feasibility of lung auscultation using the smartphone built-in microphone in real-world clinical practice. We recruited 134 patients (median[interquartile range] 16[11–22.25]y; 54% male; 31% cystic fibrosis, 29% other respir...
The Role of Anatomy Computer-Assisted Learning on Spatial Abilities of Medical ...
Guimarães, B; Firmino-Machado, J; Tsisar, S; Viana, B; Pinto-Sousa, M; Vieira-Marques, P; Cruz-Correia, R; Ferreira, MACurrently, medical education context poses different challenges to anatomy, contributing to the introduction of new pedagogical approaches, such as computer-assisted learning (CAL). This approach provides insight into students' learning profiles and skills that enhance anatomy knowledge acquisition. To understand the influence of anatomy CAL on spatial abilities, a study was conducted. A total of 671 medical st...
