Newest firstBackgroundDespite widespread recognition of the value of lived experience (LE) involvement in healthcare research and increased LE involvement activity, we lack established implementation methods and instruments for reporting and evaluating impact. We present a protocol for an innovative LE-led Impact Log tool and co-production framework, which may help to address some fundamental barriers to co-production. The Im…
Open article record in new tab ↗In response to the high prevalence of gambling addiction within the population, a specialised Daily Clinic for Gambling Addiction was established at the University Psychiatric Hospital "St. John" in Zagreb (Croatia). This clinic offers a unique three-month, semi-structured, intensive multidimensional and multidisciplinary treatment approach delivered by a team of specialised mental health professionals. Treatment…
Open article record in new tab ↗Background Healthcare professionals are motivated to improve their cannabis knowledge-yet few training opportunities exist. The unique legal status of cannabis, lack of rigorous research, and rapid expansion of consumer demand present challenges to the development and implementation of cannabis education for healthcare professionals and trainees. As a result, an alarming gap in quality of care is developing: healt…
Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated strong performance in medical contexts; however, existing benchmarks often fail to reflect the real-world complexity of low-resource health systems accurately. This study developed a dataset of 5,609 clinical questions contributed by 101 community health workers (CHWs) across four Rwandan districts and compared responses generated by five large language models (LLMs)…
ImportanceLearning Health Systems (LHS) have proven efficacy in catalysing healthcare improvement, but adoption and scale-up in complex healthcare systems remains challenging, with limited implementation guidance. ObjectiveTo measure alignment with LHS principles and guide LHS implementation, we aimed to codesign, refine and apply an LHS Maturity Matrix (LHS-MM) based on the Monash LHS framework. DesignIn this mix…
DeepSeek, a Chinese artificial intelligence company, released its first free chatbot app based on its DeepSeek-R1 model. DeepSeek provides its models, algorithms, and training details to ensure transparency and reproducibility. Their new model is trained with reinforcement learning, allowing it to learn through interactions and feedback rather than relying solely on supervised learning. Reports showcase that DeepS…

Methods As a partner in a State survey in 2021, the co…
The advances in large language models (LLMs) are evolving rapidly. Artificial intelligence (AI) chatbots based on LLMs excel in language understanding and generation, with potential utility to transform healthcare education and practice. However, it is important to assess the performance of such AI models in various topics to highlight its strengths and possible limitations. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate…
Open article record in new tab ↗Introduction The use of medical cannabis in pediatrics is not common in clinical practice, and there is a lack of prospective studies, especially in pediatric subpopulations. This study aimed to provide data on the off-label administration of tetrahydrocannabinol (∆9-THC) in a pediatric tertiary center in Austria. Methods A retrospective data analysis was performed to assess the use of ∆9-THC at the Department of…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundAutism is a normal part of cognitive diversity, resulting in communication and sensory processing differences, which can become disabling in a neurotypical world. Autistic people have an increased likelihood of physical and mental co-occurring conditions and die earlier than neurotypical peers. Inaccessible healthcare may contribute to this. Autism Health Passports (AHPs) are paper-based or digital tools…
Open article record in new tab ↗BACKGROUND: In Australia, 'Alcohol Management Plans' (AMPs) provide the policy infrastructure for State and Commonwealth Governments to address problematic alcohol use among Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders. We report community residents' experiences of AMPs in 10 of Queensland's 15 remote Indigenous communities. METHODS: This cross-sectional study used a two-stage sampling strategy: N = 1211; 588 (48%) male…
