Participant Contributions to Person-Generated Health Data Research Using Mobile Devices: Scoping Review

Participant Contributions to Person-Generated Health Data Research Using Mobile Devices: Scoping Review

Similar issues are noticed in studies using crowdsourcing platforms to collect data [17]. Selection bias with wearables is a significant issue due to differences in access [18,19], which in turn can lead to differences in sharing data for research [20]. Both accessibility and self-selection could lead to lower study sample diversity for race and socioeconomic status.

Empathy Toward Artificial Intelligence Versus Human Experiences and the Role of Transparency in Mental Health and Social Support Chatbot Design: Comparative Study

Empathy Toward Artificial Intelligence Versus Human Experiences and the Role of Transparency in Mental Health and Social Support Chatbot Design: Comparative Study

We recruited a pool of 985 participants from Prolific, a crowdsourcing platform that connects researchers with survey respondents for high-quality data collection. Participants across the studies were predominantly female and White. All participants on average had high trait empathy and neutral arousal and valence before starting the study. Full demographic distributions across the 4 studies are shown in Table 1. All participants were paid US $12 per hour for their time.

Perception of Medication Safety–Related Behaviors Among Different Age Groups: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Study

Perception of Medication Safety–Related Behaviors Among Different Age Groups: Web-Based Cross-Sectional Study

The purpose of our study was to use a crowdsourcing approach to investigate individuals’ perceptions of the importance and reasonableness of medication safety behaviors across various age groups. We chose patient portal use as a reference for patient engagement behaviors due to extensive efforts by health care organizations and regulators to encourage this behavior.

Gamified Crowdsourcing as a Novel Approach to Lung Ultrasound Data Set Labeling: Prospective Analysis

Gamified Crowdsourcing as a Novel Approach to Lung Ultrasound Data Set Labeling: Prospective Analysis

Crowdsourcing, the process of collecting large numbers of unskilled opinions, can improve efficiency, lower costs, and offer high quality in repetitive task completion [8,9]. Crowdsourced approaches to data set labeling are growing in popularity, and beneficial effects of crowdsourcing have been demonstrated in health care–related tasks including biomedical imaging analysis [10-14].

Enabling Health Information Recommendation Using Crowdsourced Refinement in Web-Based Health Information Applications: User-Centered Design Approach and EndoZone Informatics Case Study

Enabling Health Information Recommendation Using Crowdsourced Refinement in Web-Based Health Information Applications: User-Centered Design Approach and EndoZone Informatics Case Study

The health information recommended to users is ranked and presented using crowdsourcing technology based on feedback from users who have similar demographic and medical profiles. This ensures that health information can be delivered to people according to their situations and needs. The methodology can be easily integrated into new or existing health information applications.

Expanding Youth-Friendly HIV Self-Testing Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Qualitative Analysis of a Crowdsourcing Open Call in Nigeria

Expanding Youth-Friendly HIV Self-Testing Services During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Qualitative Analysis of a Crowdsourcing Open Call in Nigeria

The goal of this qualitative study was to uncover recurring themes in a digital World AIDS Day (WAD) crowdsourcing open call for youth responses on how to increase HIVST among Nigerian young people during the COVID-19 pandemic. Our crowdsourcing open call consisted of a 5-step process including digital crowdsourcing open call, web-based submissions, judging, analysis of themes, and common themes identified (Figure 1) throughout the design and implementation, data collection, and data analysis phases.

A Perspective on Crowdsourcing and Human-in-the-Loop Workflows in Precision Health

A Perspective on Crowdsourcing and Human-in-the-Loop Workflows in Precision Health

Crowdsourcing, a term first coined in 2006 [1], is the use of distributed human workers to accomplish a central task. Crowdsourcing exploits the “power of the crowd” to achieve goals that are only feasible with a distributed group of humans collaborating, either explicitly or implicitly, toward a common goal.
