Abstract

Who needs them? We do We are in the midst of a rapid proliferation of patient facing clinical technologies. More than 50 000 mobile health applications are available for people to download directly onto their mobile devices, and the number grows daily. A range of commercial wearable sensors (such as wristbands, patches, chest monitors) are also appearing to promote healthy lifestyles or to monitor medical conditions in the context of clinical care, strengthening the role of patients in quantified self tracking.1 2 Two way video and texting applications are making different forms of telemedicine increasingly accessible and popular. Every day more and more people look to internet based resources such as chat forums to help them understand their medical conditions and explore treatment options. In the United States, the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was signed into law in 2009 to promote and incentivize the broad adoption and meaningful use of health information technology to improve healthcare.3 Apple recently began offering software that culls and centralizes users’ health information as a standard feature of their new operating system …

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
