DiMe Virtual Journal Club: How does it work?

Each month we will select a manuscript tackling an important topic in digital medicine

Up to ten DiMe members can register to participate in an intimate discussion with the manuscript author(s)

Sessions will take an AMA ("ask me anything") approach

Immediately after the session, the recording will be posted to a new Slack channel in DiMe’s Workspace. For the next week, we will moderate a discussion in Slack between all of DiMe’s members and the author(s).

Overview

Ieuan Clay, a contributors to the JMIR publication article Continuous Digital Monitoring of Walking Speed in Frail Elderly Patients: Noninterventional Validation Study and Longitudinal Clinical Trial will lead an AMA (‘ask me anything’) session on the study that aimed to establish accuracy, feasibility, and validity of continuous digital monitoring of walking speed in frail, elderly patients with sarcopenia and to create an open-source repository of raw, derived, and reference data as a resource for the community.

This study showed, for the first time, accurate capture of real-world gait speed in slow-walking older adults with sarcopenia and demonstrated the feasibility of long-term digital monitoring of mobility in geriatric populations, establishing that sufficient data can be collected to allow robust monitoring of gait behaviors outside the clinic, even in the absence of feedback or incentives. All data is available as an open-source resource for the community, providing a basis for further study of the relationship between standardized physical performance assessment and real-world behavior and independence.
