ADAPT Researcher Alfredo Ormazabal (Trinity College Dublin) recently published a significant paper in the proceedings of the 2024 IEEE 37th International Symposium on Computer-Based Medical Systems. The article, titled “Co-development of a Tool to Help Clinicians Decide Upon the Trustworthiness of Patient-Generated Health Data,” was co-authored with Prof. Lucy Hederman (Trinity College Dublin) and Dr. Damon Berry (Technological University Dublin).
The paper introduces the Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) Trust Canvas, a tool developed collaboratively to aid clinicians in assessing the trustworthiness of PGHD during their decision-making processes. This innovative tool offers a structured framework for clinicians to systematically evaluate PGHD, aiming to ensure its safe and effective integration into clinical decisions. The full paper is available online at IEEE Xplore.
In addition to the publication, Alfredo Ormazabal is hosting two training sessions on the PGHD Trust Canvas. These sessions are part of the Digital Health Uptake initiative, funded by the European Union. Participants will gain experience with the PGHD Trust Canvas, applying it to realistic scenarios to enhance their skills in evaluating the trustworthiness of PGHD. This training aims to improve clinicians’ ability to make informed clinical decisions based on carefully assessed patient-generated data.
Clinicians and healthcare professionals interested in enhancing their understanding of PGHD evaluation are encouraged to register for these sessions. Registration details can be found here.
