Human-centered approaches that integrate sensor technology across the lifespan: opportunities and challenges.
Children, parents, older adults, and caregivers routinely use sensor technology as a source of health information and health monitoring. The purpose of this paper was to describe three exemplars of research that used a human-centered approach to engage participants in the development, design, and usability of interventions that integrate technology to promote health. The exemplars were based on current research studies that integrated sensor technology into pediatric, adult, and older adult populations living with a chronic health condition.

Research priorities of caregivers and individuals with dementia with Lewy bodies: an interview study.
The authors investigated the research priorities of individuals and caregivers living with dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB). Through telephone interviews, they found that individuals with DLB and caregivers identified research needs and highlighted DLB symptoms needing additional research. They recommended that funding be informed by the priorities of all relevant stakeholders and support research investigating causes, natural history, biomarkers, and treatment in addition to research targeting themes regarding living with disease.

Patient-centered model for protein-energy wasting: stakeholder deliberative panels.
Integrating the patient's voice into research prioritization is essential for solving problems that patients care the most about in terms of health, symptom management, and survival. In this study, the investigators used deliberative processes for adapting the existing model of protein-energy wasting (PEW) to one that included stakeholder priorities, addressing gaps from the initial concept.
