Feasibility and acceptability of an online positive affect intervention for those living with comorbid HIV depression.
Positive affect has unique beneficial effects on psychological and physical health, independent of the effects of negative affect. Interventions that explicitly target positive affect show promise for improving health outcomes in a number of chronic illnesses. In this article, the investigators present pilot data on the acceptability and feasibility of an online intervention to increase positive affect in those living with comorbid human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and depression.

A multi-step usability evaluation of a self-management app to support medication adherence in persons living with HIV.
The authors developed a mHealth app (WiseApp) for HIV self-management to help persons living with HIV (PLWH) self-manage their health. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the usability of the WiseApp. The results of the cognitive walkthrough with both experts and end-users informed iterative refinements to the WiseApp and finalization of a mHealth app for PLWH to better self-manage their health.

Mobile health technology for improving symptom management in low income persons living with HIV.
This study aimed to examine the impact of an mHealth application (app), comprised of evidence-based self-care strategies, on the symptom experience of persons living with HIV (PLWH). In this 12-week trial, an mHealth app, mobile Video Information Provider (mVIP), was associated with improved symptom burden and increased medication adherence in PLWH.

Understanding the predisposing, enabling, and reinforcing factors influencing the use of a mobile-based HIV management app: a real-world usability evaluation.
In this study, the authors conducted an in-depth analysis of users' experiences using an HIV self-management app. Usability evaluation in a real-world setting enabled the investigators to measure users' actual experiences when interacting with the app during their everyday lives. They suggest that their work highlighted the importance of using mobile technology for persons living with HIV, specifically those with low income/housing instability.

Feasibility and acceptability of real-time antiretroviral adherence monitoring among depressed women living with HIV in the deep south of the US.
The purpose of this study was to present feasibility and acceptability data on the use of an electronic adherence monitor (EAM) among African American women in remote areas of the Southeastern United States with HIV and co-occurring depression. EAM and self-reported antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence was monitored among 25 participants recruited at four HIV clinics in Alabama. Intra-class correlation showed a low degree of concordance between EAM and self-reported adherence. 83% of data collected via EAM was transmitted in real-time; the remainder was delayed though technological failures or was lost entirely. The authors conclude that EAM monitoring is feasible in a rural US setting but that technological difficulties may impede the device's usefulness for just-in-time adherence interventions.

Use contexts and usage patterns of interactive case simulation tools by HIV healthcare providers in a statewide online clinical education program.
The researcher analyzed four interactive case simulation tools (ICSTs) from a statewide online clinical education program. Results have shown that ICSTs are increasingly used by HIV healthcare providers. Smart phone has become the primary usage platform for specific ICSTs. Usage patterns depend on particular ICST modules, usage stages, and use contexts.
