Causal Inference for Latent Markov Models Using the Parametric G-Formula
The parametric g-formula can be used to estimate causal effects of time-varying exposures on observable outcomes. It resolves intermediate confounding in such settings by specifying several parametric models, one each for every time-varying variable, and by performing micro-simulations. However, its restriction to applications with observable outcomes limits its usability for social sciences where variables of interest are often unobservable cons…
Investigating the psychological impact of communicating epistemic uncertainty in personalized and generic risk estimates: An experimental study
Nowadays, there is an increased availability of online health risk calculators aimed at providing people with personalized risk estimates of experiencing a medical disease. Despite being deemed as more relevant and useful than generic risk estimates, personalized risks are intrinsically imperfect and inherently uncertain, arising from limitations in the reliability, credibility, and accuracy of probability estimates (i.e. epistemic uncertainty). …
Three-Step Latent Class Analysis with Inverse Propensity Weighting in the Presence of Differential Item Functioning
The integration of causal inference techniques such as inverse propensity weighting (IPW) with latent class analysis (LCA) allows for estimating the effect of a treatment on class membership even with observational data. In this article, we present an extension of the bias-adjusted three-step LCA with IPW, which allows accounting for differential item function (DIF) caused by the treatment or exposure variable. Following the approach by Vermunt a…
Effects of comparative information when communicating personalized risks of treatment outcomes: An experimental study
Despite great promise of using personalized risks of treatment outcomes during shared decision-making, patients often experience difficulty evaluating and using them. We examined the effects of providing comparative information of the average person’s risk when discussing personalized risks on people’s cognitive, emotional, and behavioural responses. Participants (n = 1,807) from a representative sample of the Dutch population received personaliz…
What does it take to make integrated care work
Within the EU, there are 10 million people with chronic heart failure (CHF), 20 million people with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD), and 60 million people with diabetes (DM). These three conditions alone cost the EU healthcare systems around €125 billion a year.Care coordination and telehealth (CC&TH) services are an effective way to treat these patients in their homes. However, the adoption of these services is relatively slow. A p…
Effectiveness of telehealth for heart failure management in routine practice
Purpose: To assess the effect of routine use of home telemonitoring on the risk of re-admission to hospital amongst patients with heart failure.Context: Heart failure is a common reason for hospitalizations, which often recur. Telemonitoring might detect early decompensation allowing intervention to prevent re-admission. A systematic review concluded that telehealth reduced heart failure related hospitalizations by almost 30 % [1]. In Europe, the…
Integrated Care Evaluation Engine
In the EU there are 10 million people with heart failure, 20 million people with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases, and 60 million people with diabetes. These three conditions cost the EU healthcare systems around 125 billion a year and cost is rising with an ageing population.Care coordination and telehealth (CC&TH) services are an effective way to treat these patients in their homes. However, the adaptation of these services is relatively …
Health risk assessment and stratification in an integrated care scenario
Background: Health risk assessment and stratification have proven highly relevant for large-scale implementation of integrated care by facilitating services design and case identification.Aim: The principal objective was to analyse five health-risk assessment strategies used in the five regions participating in the Advancing Care Coordination and TeleHealth Deployment (ACT) program (www.act-programme.eu): Scotland (UK), Basque Country (ES), Catal…
An Appraisal Standard for a quick and reliable comparison between risk stratification methods for local healthcare systems
Introduction: European countries need to address the issues related to ageing populations and the consequent delivery of health care to multi-morbid and or frail patients. A potential solution is represented by the identification of those patients at greatest risk for costly and preventable service utilization by means of risk stratification tools

Robot Vacuum Cleaner Personality and Behavior
In this paper we report our study on the user experience of robot vacuum cleaner behavior. How do people want to experience this new type of cleaning appliance? Interviews were conducted to elicit a desired robot vacuum cleaner personality. With this knowledge in mind, behavior was designed for a future robot vacuum cleaner. A video prototype was used to evaluate how people experienced the behavior of this robot vacuum cleaner. The results indica…
Realization and User Evaluation of an Automatic Playlist Generator
An automatic music playlist generator called PATS (Personalized Automatic Track Selection) creates playlists that aim at suiting a particular listening situation. It uses dynamic clustering in which songs are grouped based on a weighted attribute-value similarity measure. An inductive learning algorithm is used to reveal the weights for attribute-values using user preference feedback. In a controlled user experiment, the quality of PATS-generated…
