Polysomnography (PSG) is currently the accepted gold standard for sleep studies, as it measures multiple variables that lead to a clear diagnosis of any sleep disorder. However, it has some clear drawbacks, since it can only be performed by qualified technicians, has a high cost and complexity and is very invasive. In the last years, actigraphy has been used along PSG for sleep studies. In this study, we intend to assess the capability of the new Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 to be used as an actigraphy tool. Sleep measures from PSG and Xiaomi Mi Smart Band 5 recorded in the same night will be obtained and further analysed to assess their concordance. For this analysis, we perform a paired sample t-test to compare the different measures, Bland–Altman plots to evaluate the level of agreement between the Mi Band and PSG and Epoch by Epoch analysis to study the ability of the Mi Band to correctly identify PSG-defined sleep stages. This study belongs to the research field known as participatory health, which aims to offer an innovative healthcare model driven by the patients themselves, leading to civic empowerment and self-management of health.

Purpose Hearing loss self-management refers to the knowledge and skills people use to manage the effects of hearing loss on all aspects of their daily lives. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between self-reported hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Method Thirty-seven adults with hearing loss, all of whom were current users of bilateral hearing aids, participated in this observational study. The participants completed self-report inventories probing their hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Correlation analysis was used to investigate the relationship between individual domains of hearing loss self-management and hearing aid benefit and satisfaction. Results Participants who reported better self-management of the effects of their hearing loss on their emotional well-being and social participation were more likely to report less aided listening difficulty in noisy and reverberant environments and greater satisfaction with the effect of their hearing aids on their self-image. Participants who reported better self-management in the areas of adhering to treatment, participating in shared decision making, accessing services and resources, attending appointments, and monitoring for changes in their hearing and functional status were more likely to report greater satisfaction with the sound quality and performance of their hearing aids. Conclusion Study findings highlight the potential for using information about a patient's hearing loss self-management in different domains as part of clinical decision making and management planning.

Background The aim of this study was to determine the clinical efficacy of combining self-management strategies and a social thinking approach to address the social performance and executive function of an adolescent female with autism spectrum disorder. Method This research examined the effects of a social knowledge training program, “Think Social,” as well as strategies to improve higher order cognitive abilities. Results and Conclusion Although quantitative improvement was not found, several qualitative gains in behavior were noted for the participants of this study, suggesting a benefit from using structured environmental cues of self-management strategies, as well as improved social understanding through social cognitive training.
