Background: The Portfolio-To-Impact version 2 (P2I v.2) financial forecasting tool estimates funding requirements for development of portfolios of candidate health products (drugs, biologics, vaccines or diagnostics). The assumptions and archetypes relating to diagnostics in P2I v.2 are based on limited data and may not accurately describe research and development costs, timelines and probability of success. This study aimed to revise the P2I v.2 tool by modifying the diagnostic assumptions to improve accuracy of predictions for diagnostic portfolios. Methods: Data from expert interviews and historical information on development of 26 existing diagnostics were used to determine approximate research and development costs, timelines and probability of success for development of diagnostics, and to revise diagnostic archetypes and development phases. To compare the revised tool with P2I v.2, data on 27 candidates from the Foundation for Innovative New Diagnostics (FIND) tuberculosis and pandemic preparedness portfolios were input into both versions. Results: The number of diagnostic archetypes increased from two in P2I v.2 to three in the revised tool. Total estimated costs to move the 27 candidates along the pipeline to launch were US$641.62 million with P2I v.2 and US$274.00 million with the revised model. The number of expected launches was 21.65 over five years with P2I v.2 and 11.48 over eight years with the revised model. Development timelines were extended and probability of success was lower with the revised model compared with P2I v.2. Conclusions: Outputs from the revised tool were in line with expert experience, suggesting that the proposed revisions improve the accuracy of the tool for estimating research and development costs, timelines and probability of success relating to diagnostic portfolios. Additional improvements to the tool could include further refinement of archetypes, incorporation of a measure of potential public health impact, and addition of a commercialization phase for diagnostics.

The article presents the results of two interrelated studies. The first is related to assessing the possibility of using a water-polymer ultrajet as a diagnostic tool for cutting tools for the disposal of plastics. The second is related to the development of a directly new tool design. As a result of research, it was shown that both the method of water-polymer diagnostics and the proposed design of the knife have prospects for practical application. A model of a composite tool for the disposal of composites is proposed, which potentially has high operational properties. The research results are confirmed by the data of a comparative analysis of various diagnostic methods and strength calculations of the tool.

The online community resource Phytophthora database (PD) was developed to support accurate and rapid identification of Phytophthora and to help characterize and catalog the diversity and evolutionary relationships within the genus. Since its release in 2008, the sequence database has grown to cover 1 to 12 loci for ≈2,600 isolates (representing 138 described and provisional species). Sequences of multiple mitochondrial loci were added to complement nuclear loci-based phylogenetic analyses and diagnostic tool development. Key characteristics of most newly described and provisional species have been summarized. Other additions to improve the PD functionality include: (i) geographic information system tools that enable users to visualize the geographic origins of chosen isolates on a global-scale map, (ii) a tool for comparing genetic similarity between isolates via microsatellite markers to support population genetic studies, (iii) a comprehensive review of molecular diagnostics tools and relevant references, (iv) sequence alignments used to develop polymerase chain reaction-based diagnostics tools to support their utilization and new diagnostic tool development, and (v) an online community forum for sharing and preserving experience and knowledge accumulated in the global Phytophthora community. Here we present how these improvements can support users and discuss the PD's future direction.

Kinesiophobia - Introducing a New Diagnostic ToolTechnical development of human civilisation brings about a decrease of adaptation potential of an individual, which is directly linked to deficient motor activity. Only precise identification of factors leading to hypokinesia would make prophylactic and therapeutic actions possible. In this article, authors would like to introduce a new, original tool aiming at diagnosing limitations of motor activity in adults. They propose a synthetic diagnosis of hypokinesia in two domains: biological and psycho-social, which is based on the contemporary model of health.

Background Various multifaceted factors need to be addressed to improve the health and quality of life of people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Therefore, we developed a web-based decision support tool that comprises a more holistic diagnosis (including 4 domains: body, thinking and feeling, behavior, and environment) and personalized advice. This 360° diagnostic tool enables people with T2D and health care professionals at the general practice to obtain an overview of the most important T2D-related issues and, subsequently, determine the most suitable intervention for the person with T2D. Objective This study aimed to describe the systematic and iterative development and evaluation of the web-based 360° diagnostic tool. Methods We defined the requirements for the web-based 360° diagnostic tool based on previously developed tools, a literature review, and inputs from a multidisciplinary team of experts. As part of the conceptualization, we defined 3 requirements: diagnostics; feedback; and advice, consultation, and follow-up. Next, we developed and designed the content for each of these requirements. We evaluated the diagnostic part of the tool (ie, measurement instruments and visualization) with a qualitative design, in a usability study with a think-aloud strategy and interview questions, among 8 people with T2D at a Dutch general practice. Results For each of the 4 domains, specific parameters and underlying elements were selected, and measurement instruments (including clinical data and questionnaires) were chosen. Cutoff values were defined to identify high-, middle-, and low-ranking scores, and decision rules were developed and implemented using R scripts and algorithms. A traffic light color visual design was created (profile wheel) to provide an overview of the scores per domain. We mapped the interventions that could be added to the tool and developed a protocol designed as a card deck with motivational interview steps. Furthermore, the usability study showed that people with T2D perceived the tool as easy to use, useful, easy to understand, and insightful. Conclusions Preliminary evaluation of the 360° diagnostic tool by experts, health care professionals, and people with T2D showed that the tool was considered relevant, clear, and practical. The iterative process provided insights into the areas of improvement, which were implemented. The strengths, shortcomings, future use, and challenges are also discussed.

In this review, we examine the current landscape of point-of-care testing (POCT) diagnostic tools designed for poverty-related infectious diseases (PRIDs) in sub-Saharan Africa (sSA) while delineating key avenues for future advancements. Our analysis encompasses both established and emerging diagnostic methods for PRIDs, addressing the persistent challenges in POCT tool development and deployment, such as cost, accessibility, and reliability. We emphasize recent advancements in POCT diagnostic tools as well as platforms poised to enhance diagnostic testing in sSA. Recognizing the urgency for affordable and widely accessible POCT diagnostic tools to detect PRIDs in sSA, we advocate for a multidisciplinary approach. This approach integrates current and emerging diagnostic methods, explicitly addressing challenges hindering point-of-care (POC) tool development. Furthermore, it recognizes the profound impact of misdiagnosis on public and global health, emphasizing the need for effective tools. To facilitate the successful development and implementation of POCT diagnostic tools in sSA, we propose strategies including the creation of multi-analyte detection POCT tools, the implementation of education and training programs, community engagement initiatives, fostering public-private collaborations, and the establishment of reliable supply chains. Through these concerted efforts, we aim to accelerate the development of POCT in the sSA region, ensuring its effectiveness and accessibility in addressing the diagnostic challenges associated with PRIDs.

The purpose of this study was to explore the concept and attributes of educational fairness in secondary schools and to develop and validate an educational fairness diagnostic tool. This study conducted a Delphi survey to explore the concept, factors, diagnostic areas, and items of educational fairness in secondary schools and a survey of 159 preliminary and 747 main surveys of middle and high school students to develop and validate the diagnostic tool by conducting factor analysis, reliability, and correlation analysis. In this study, the definition of educational fairness in secondary schools was defined as "the degree to which secondary students perceive that they are receiving appropriate education according to their interests, abilities, circumstances, and backgrounds in terms of opportunities, processes, and outcomes of school education.” In addition, the components of educational fairness were set as distributive fairness, procedural fairness, and interactional fairness, and through the validation process, 30 items were derived, including 10 items on distributive fairness, 10 items on procedural fairness, and 10 items on interactional fairness. The diagnostic tool developed in this study can be used to identify differences between individual variables related to educational fairness perceived by secondary students and to reveal causal relationships between variables that affect educational fairness.

The purpose of this study was to develop a teaching competency diagnosis tool for instructors working in army military schools to improve the quality of education and cultivate the competitiveness of the organization. To this end, previous research data related to the development of teaching competency diagnosis tools were collected and analyzed. Subsequently, focus group interviews and behavioral case interviews with excellent instructors at the Army Military School were conducted, and Delphi surveys were conducted with educational experts to organize teaching competency components and diagnostic tools temporarily. Next, to verify the validity of questionnaire items, a preliminary survey and a main survey were conducted with questionnaires administered to excellent instructors and ordinary instructors to confirm the validity and reliability of the teaching competency diagnosis tool. As a result of the study, four competencies (basic, class, organizational, and digital), 10 major competencies (attitude and attitude as educators, relationship formation, etc.), 25 sub-competencies (responsibility as instructors, initiative, etc.), and 65 behavioral indicators were selected. The diagnostic tools derived through this study are the competencies that instructors must have to perform their duties successfully in military schools. Therefore, our results not only provide information necessary for establishing instructor competency development policies but also contribute greatly to developing programs to strengthen teaching competency in military schools.

AbstractTomography diagnostics represent an essential tool in tokamaks to infer the local plasma properties using line-integrated measurements from one or several cameras. In particular, soft X-rays (SXR) in the energy range 0.1–20 keV can provide valuable information on magnetohydrodynamic activity, magnetic equilibrium or impurity transport. Heavy impurities like tungsten (W) are a major source of concern due to significant radiation losses in the plasma core, thus they have to be kept under acceptable concentrations. Therefore, 2D SXR tomography diagnostics become crucial to estimate the W concentration profile in the plasma, quantify the W poloidal distribution and identify relevant impurity mitigation strategies. In this context, a synthetic diagnostic becomes a very valuable tool (1) to study the tomographic reconstruction capabilities, (2) to validate diagnostic design as well as (3) to assess the error propagation during the reconstruction process and impurity transport analysis. The goal of this contribution is to give some highlights on recent studies related to each of these three steps, for the development of SXR synthetic diagnostic tools in tokamak plasmas.

Abstract Electronic tools in clinical laboratory diagnostics can assist laboratory professionals, clinicians, and patients in medical diagnostic management and laboratory test interpretation. With increasing implementation of electronic health records (EHRs) and laboratory information systems worldwide, there is increasing demand for well-designed and evidence-based electronic resources. Both complex data-driven and simple interpretative electronic healthcare tools are currently available to improve the integration of clinical and laboratory information towards a more patient-centered approach to medicine. Several studies have reported positive clinical impact of electronic healthcare tool implementation in clinical laboratory diagnostics, including in the management of neonatal bilirubinemia, cardiac disease, and nutritional status. As patients have increasing access to their medical laboratory data, it is essential that accessible electronic healthcare tools are evidence-based and user-friendly for individuals of varying digital and medical literacy. Indeed, studies suggest electronic healthcare tool development processes significantly lack the involvement of relevant healthcare professionals and often present misinformation, including erroneous calculation algorithms or inappropriate interpretative recommendations. The current review provides an overview of the utility of available electronic healthcare tools in clinical laboratory diagnostics and critically reviews potential limitations and benefits of their clinical implementation. The Canadian Laboratory Initiative on Pediatric Reference Intervals (CALIPER) online database is also detailed as an example of a pediatric diagnostic tool with widespread global impact.

Agricultural high throughput diagnostics need to be fast, accurate and have multiplexing capacity. Metagenomic sequencing is being widely evaluated for plant and animal diagnostics. Bioinformatic analysis of metagenomic sequence data has been a bottleneck for diagnostic analysis due to the size of the data files. Most available tools for analyzing high-throughput sequencing (HTS) data require that the user have computer coding skills and access to high-performance computing. To overcome constraints to most sequencing-based diagnostic pipelines today, we have developed Microbe Finder (MiFi®). MiFi® is a web application for quick detection and identification of known pathogen species/strains in raw, unassembled HTS metagenomic data. HTS-based diagnostic tools developed through MiFi® must pass rigorous validation, which is outlined in this manuscript. MiFi® allows researchers to collaborate in the development and validation of HTS-based diagnostic assays using MiProbe™, a platform used for developing pathogen-specific e-probes. Validated e-probes are made available to diagnosticians through MiDetect™. Here we describe the e-probe development, curation and validation process of MiFi® using grapevine pathogens as a model system. MiFi® can be used with any pathosystem and HTS platform after e-probes have been validated.

Problem and goal. Language disorders of different kinds may cause personal issues and prevent the successful development of an individual. Early diagnostics and precise correctional recommendations enable such issues to be resolved efficiently in childhood. A modern speech therapist needs mobile facilities that can both make his/her work with prescribed protocols easier and perform high-quality professional diagnostics. Creating software tools is quite important, especially when dealing with children. The peak of prophylactic and therapeutic activities occurs in pre- and primary school age. Methodology. In the scope of this research, the current state of the problem was observed and analyzed, psycholinguistics part and informatics part of the problem were identified, and their interaction was specified. The results of application of these approaches on the base of several longitude psycho-diagnostic experiments were analyzed and evaluated. Results. The software tools to diagnose child language disorders and to develop language abilities in the case of problems are presented. In addition, a tool for an alternative communication via pictograms is described. These tools implement a playing strategy to decrease stress and improve effectiveness. Conclusion. Experimental evaluation demonstrates that mobile approach reduces time for the therapist’s routine duties and makes diagnostic and correctional process attractive for children.

Background: The poor survival rates observed in oral cancer can be improved if diagnosed early. A greater understanding of the patient and diagnostic interval in the diagnostic journey of oral cancer is vital for facilitating early diagnosis. The non-availability of a validated tool for measuring these intervals impedes early diagnosis research. The present study aimed to develop a tool to measure the patient and diagnostic intervals for early oral cancer diagnosis researchers.Methods: To include appropriate questions to get the exact days, the researcher has first searched for published articles on the subject. This was followed by consultations with health care providers. The list of variables finalized through these iteration processes was circulated among the experts for establishing content validity. The face validity of the conceptually equivalent local language version of the tool was also assessed. The tool was developed as an interview schedule.Results: The final tool had 16 symptom response categories and 14 other questions. Items with a content validity index of 0.8 or above were only included. The validated tool was further used in a cross-sectional study on patient interval. The most common initial symptoms recognized by the participants were non-healing ulcer with pain (n=97), tooth mobility (n=26), and non-healing ulcer without pain (n=25).Conclusions: A tool was developed and validated for collecting various time points for measuring various time points in the diagnostic journey of oral cancer. To our knowledge, this is the first tool for measuring patient intervals and diagnostic interval in oral cancer.

This study aims to develop a diagnostic tool to measure the information and communications technology (ICT) literacy capabilities of college freshmen. In the increasing dependence of ICT on teaching and learning, the diagnostic tool will help in operating software education for all freshmen, especially non-majors. To develop the diagnostic tool, ICT literacy competency diagnosis area and subattributes were defined through domestic and international literature study and empirical research. Moreover, diagnostic questions for the sub-attributes were developed. To validate the diagnostic tool, content validity was analyzed twice by experts, and a preliminary survey was conducted on freshmen from different departments. Through a preliminary survey, a diagnostic tool of ICT literacy competency was developed, comprising 30 questions. SPSS 24.0, R, and Excel 2016 programs were used to analyze the data. Additionally, differences in performances by department and area were analyzed for ICT literacy competency. Item analysis, percent correct, difficulty of percent correct, and item differentiation were also analyzed. Results show that average scores for information creation and information management capabilities for all freshmen by department, excluding natural science and engineering departments, were lower than those for other capabilities. This shows that they are not proficient in employing commonly used ICT tools and adept in general computer management tasks such as file compression and copying. Furthermore, art department students showed statistically significantly lower scores in all competencies than students of other departments. Therefore, different curriculum composition, programming language selection, and teaching and learning strategies are necessary when providing software education to all students. The ICT literacy competency diagnosis tool is essential to evaluate students’ performance levels and determine their actual proficiency in handling ICT.

This research reports the development of an online three-tier diagnostic instrument for pre-university students related to cellular respiration. To date, only few studies have been conducted to identify students’ alternative conception in the topic of cellular respiration. One of the contributing factors is due to lack of instrument developed to measure these alternative conceptions. Three-tier tests are used as assessment tools for lecturers to determine students’ alternative conceptions related to cellular respiration and their knowledge and understanding about the concepts. The research incorporates both qualitative and quantitative methods. The instrument was developed in five phases: (1) construction of items, (2) pilot study, (3) validation of instrument, (4) transforming the instrument into an online assessment tool, and (5) the administration of the Online Diagnostic Tool (ODiT). The Cellular Respiration ODiT consists of three tiers: answer and reasoning tiers to measure “content knowledge” and “explanatory knowledge” respectively, and a third tier that measures the level of confidence of pre-university students. Analysis of the students’ responses demonstrated acceptable reliability and validity of the instrument. The research also shows that both students and lecturers benefit when online diagnostic tests are implemented appropriately. Key words: biology alternative conception, online diagnostic tool, three-tier diagnostic test.

The assessment of nuisance odour problems and the application of an effective odour management programme for the associated industrial activity may be achieved using a representative odour wheel and Odour Profile Analysis methodology. The odour wheel is a very useful tool for conducting odour quality control monitoring and developing a constructive dialogue regarding nuisance odours with the public. Previously, odours from wastewater treatment plant activities have been identified and described with a dedicated odour wheel. The oxidation state of the organic chemicals responsible for a given odour depends on multiple parameters specific to the individual wastewater collection networks (residence time of wastewater, topographic disposition and network slope, aeration and on line chemical treatment processes). This is especially important for odorous nitrogen, sulfur and volatile fatty acids. Trained sensory odour panels combined with chemical analyses have been used to study wastewater collection network odours and to adapt the wastewater odour wheel accordingly. The wastewater collection network odour wheel has been produced using the results of five sampling campaigns; eight out of the 11 odour families constituting the wastewater odour wheel have been identified and consequently validated for sewer networks. Different groups of odours have been perceived according to the presence or absence of wastewater effluents at the various sampling points.

The purpose of this study was to develop a practical diagnostic tool by developing diagnostic factors based on the learning and living environment of university students. The allocation sampling method was used among the non-stochastic extraction methods, which is a method of selecting the sample that best represents the population. And based on previous research, the self-esteem diagnosis preliminary questions were composed of 30 questions. Looking at the results of factor analysis, first, sub-factors of self-esteem, mean and standard deviation, kurtosis and skewness were reviewed. As a result of confirming the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) of sample adequacy, the KMO value was confirmed to be .764, and the significance probability of Bartlett's sphericity index was .000, indicating that the selection of variables for factor analysis was appropriate. It is assumed that common factors exist. As a result of the analysis, reliability and validity were generally secured. In the process of factor analysis, the factors were found to be 8 by screening test, cumulative variance percentage (75% or more), and more. Looking at the contents, it was organized into 8 items including balanced attitude, decision-making, experience, leadership, positive attitude, sociality, exercise, and negotiation. Reliability is estimated by the reliability coefficient, and the explanatory power of all 8 factors was confirmed to be 85.7%. The results reported in this study had several limitations. First, data collection was generally based on self-reports prone to recall bias. Second, another limitation of this study is the small sample size. Third, since this study diagnosed self-esteem using one questionnaire, more attention is required in interpreting the results.

Introduction Lower limb apophyseal injuries commonly occur in children and adolescents with unknown incidence and prevalence. These conditions are considered benign, but impact children and adolescents quality of life and can lead to sport withdrawal at a crucial time. The primary aim of this research was to develop self-administered tools for two of the most common apophyseal injuries. The secondary aim was to test the sensitivity and specificity of the tools. Methods Study 1 used a three round online Delphi panel (n = 8), with expert consensus supported by robust literature. This panel developed a self-administered screening tool for calcaneal (Sever’s disease) and tibial tuberosity (Osgood-Schlatter’s disease) apophysitis. Study 2 tested the sensitivity and specificity of these developed tools with parents and children (n = 63) with concurrent clinical examination by a health professional. An initial sample size for Study 2 was set at 155 children however this was impacted by COVID-19 and recruitment was halted. Results Both tools had excellent diagnostic accuracy with an area under the curve of 83% (95% confidence interval = 0.70 to 0.95) for the posterior heel (calcaneal apophysitis) tool and 93% (95% confidence interval = 0.80 to 1.00) for the anterior of knee (tibial tuberosity apophysitis) tool using the pilot data from the 63 children. Conclusions These tools may also enhance opportunities for clinicians and health service providers with pre-clinical screening to reduce wait list time and encourage low cost, self-administered management where indicated. These findings may enable large epidemiological studies to identify populations and calculate incidence and prevalence of these conditions using self report.

Psychological assessment is an integral aspect of training in graduate school. Developing ecologically integrated and culturally sensitive diagnostic tools to support case conceptualization and differential diagnosis is critical to improving assessment practices. Nevertheless, there is a dearth of research on diagnostic training practices, particularly when integrating the cultural context into an assessment. The current study addressed this gap by evaluating four novel diagnostic tools used to guide doctoral externs (n = 11), including case conceptualization and differential diagnostic tables, an attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) matrix, and a specific learning disorder (SLD) in reading matrix. These tools were designed to integrate a range of clinical data from an ecological context. The current study (1) evaluated extern perspectives on the use and benefit of the diagnostic tools in their training and (2) discussed tool adaptation based on extern feedback. Data were analyzed via frequencies of extern responses to items. The results demonstrated high extern acceptability of the diagnostic tools and that the tools supported their ability to integrate the clients’ ecological context into the diagnostic process. Adaptations of the tools in response to extern feedback are discussed. These tools can support culturally and ecologically sensitive assessment practices.

The purpose of the research is to determine the effectiveness of the practical application of social media based on Web 2.0 technologies, aimed at developing students' English-speaking communicative competence. To implement the tasks and test the hypothesis put forward, the following scientific research methods were used: empirical (experimental learning using social media based on Web 2.0); diagnostic: observation, testing of students; statistical method - mathematical analysis of the data obtained during the experiment; descriptive: description and verbal recording of results. The results of the experimental study showed the correctness of the hypothesis put forward that the formation of English-speaking communicative competence among students will become more effective when creating a methodology using social media formed on technologies Web 2.0. For practical implementation of obtained theoretical conclusions after the experiment, it is necessary to have certain pedagogical conditions. Among these: taking into account the peculiarities of the educational environment, enhancing the speech activity of students with the participation of social media based on Web 2.0 technologies. They were developed on the basis of the results of diagnostics of the level of formation of the English-speaking communicative competence in the process of teaching students in streaming mode. Future scientific searches are possible in the direction of theoretical substantiation and practical application of new social media based on Web 2.0 technology in other training courses and other (non-philological) specialties. This vector of research is especially necessary during distance learning as an alternative to the traditional educational process.

We describe the development and analysis of an online diagnostic tool implemented in the Numbas e-learning system and used in an Australian university mathematics refresher program. Following the rapid transition to online delivery of the refresher program caused by COVID-19, the diagnostic instruments and methods used within the pre-pandemic, in-person, version of the program were lost. In 2022, we undertook to revive them in a way that would honour their original diagnostic purpose but offer a more sophisticated approach utilising the Numbas diagnostic exam type. Improvement of the tool after its initial deployment has involved the use of Rasch-based item analysis and recursive refinement of the knowledge map underlying the items.

Introduction: Prakriti assessment is of fundamental importance for research and standardization of clinical practice. The available tools for prakriti assessment are not intended to be used in a clinical setting, which demands a short and clinically flexible one. Methods: 3 selected tools were compared with a newly developed questionnaire. These were administered first in 100 healthy volunteers. Agreement analysis between these tools were done. The validation process was completed by running the new tool together with TNMC questionnaire in 150 more individuals who have some doshavriddhi. The results were discussed in an FGD involving clinicians and faculties. Results: The new tool has shown fair agreement with Ayusoft (kappa 0.434 and Spearman correlation 0.506) and TNMC (kappa 0.429 and Spearman correlation 0.454) questionnaires. And it showed week agreement with self-assessment tool (kappa 0.214 and Spearman correlation 0.407). Meanwhile self-assessment tool has poor agreement with both Ayusoft (kappa 0.172 and Spearman correlation 0.279) and TNMC (kappa 0.175 and Spearman correlation 0.244). Reliability was tested in a total of 250 individuals and a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.524 was obtained. Factor analysis was also done. In this total dataset, the new tool showed better agreement with TNMC questionnaire (kappa 0.581 and Spearman correlation 0.442). Conclusion: These results show that the new tool has potency to be run in large scale to study more variability among patients. This will add to the standardization of Ayurvedic diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic fields.

Background Concern regarding the reliability and accuracy of the health-related information provided by online newspaper articles has increased. Numerous criteria and items have been proposed and published regarding the quality assessment of online information, but there is no standard quality assessment tool available for online newspapers. Objective This study aimed to develop the Health Information Quality Assessment Tool (HIQUAL) for online newspaper articles. Methods We reviewed previous health information quality assessment tools and related studies and accordingly developed and customized new criteria. The interrater agreement for the new assessment tool was assessed for 3 newspaper articles on different subjects (colorectal cancer, obesity genetic testing, and hypertension diagnostic criteria) using the Fleiss κ and Gwet agreement coefficient. To compare the quality scores generated by each pair of tools, convergent validity was measured using the Kendall τ ranked correlation. Results Overall, the HIQUAL for newspaper articles comprised 10 items across 5 domains: reliability, usefulness, understandability, sufficiency, and transparency. The interrater agreement for the article on colorectal cancer was in the moderate to substantial range (Fleiss κ=0.48, SE 0.11; Gwet agreement coefficient=0.74, SE 0.13), while for the article introducing obesity genetic testing it was in the substantial range, with values of 0.63 (SE 0.28) and 0.86 (SE 0.10) for the two measures, respectively. There was relatively low agreement for the article on hypertension diagnostic criteria at 0.20 (SE 0.10) and 0.75 (SE 0.13), respectively. Validity of the correlation assessed with the Kendall τ showed good correlation between tools (HIQUAL vs DISCERN=0.72, HIQUAL vs QUEST [Quality Evaluation Scoring Tool]=0.69). Conclusions We developed a new assessment tool to evaluate the quality of health information in online newspaper articles, to help consumers discern accurate sources of health information. The HIQUAL can help increase the accuracy and quality of online health information in Korea.

Background: Computerized migraine diagnostic tools have been developed and validated since 1960. We conducted a systematic review to summarize and critically appraise the quality of all published studies involving computerized migraine diagnostic tools. Methods: We performed a systematic literature search using PubMed, Web of Science, Scopus, snowballing, and citation searching. Cutoff date for search was 1 June 2021. Published articles in English that evaluated a computerized/automated migraine diagnostic tool were included. The following summarized each study: publication year, digital tool name, development basis, sample size, sensitivity, specificity, reference diagnosis, strength, and limitations. The Quality Assessment of Diagnostic Accuracy Studies (QUADAS) tool was applied to evaluate the quality of included studies in terms of risk of bias and concern of applicability. Results: A total of 41 studies (median sample size: 288 participants, median age = 43 years; 77% women) were included. Most (60%) tools were developed based on International Classification of Headache Disorders criteria, half were self-administered, and 82% were evaluated using face-to-face interviews as reference diagnosis. Some of the automated algorithms and machine learning programs involved case-based reasoning, deep learning, classifier ensemble, ant-colony, artificial immune, random forest, white and black box combinations, and hybrid fuzzy expert systems. The median diagnostic accuracy was concordance = 89% [interquartile range (IQR) = 76–93%; range = 45–100%], sensitivity = 87% (IQR = 80–95%; range = 14–100%), and specificity = 90% (IQR = 77–96%; range = 65–100%). Lack of random patient sampling was observed in 95% of studies. Case–control designs were avoided in all studies. Most (76%) reference tests exhibited low risk of bias and low concern of applicability. Patient flow and timing showed low risk of bias in 83%. Conclusion: Different computerized and automated migraine diagnostic tools are available with varying accuracies. Random patient sampling, head-to-head comparison among tools, and generalizability to other headache diagnoses may improve their utility.
