Integrated systems for NGS data management and analysis: Open issues and available solutions

Integrated systems for NGS data management and analysis: Open issues and available solutions

This 2016 paper by Bianchi et al., published in Frontiers in Genetics, takes a closer look at the major issues concerning next-generations sequencing (NGS) technology. The group raises five main concerns than an NGS research group should be aware of before approaching NGS technologies and briefly states positives and negatives to the most current popular tools. The group concludes "[a]lthough larger groups with enough computational members may prefer to develop and maintain their own tailored frameworks, smaller laboratories would save resources and improve their results by adopting solutions developed by third parties," including open-source and cloud-based tools.

Health literacy and health information technology adoption: The potential for a new digital divide

In this 2016 paper published in the Journal of Medical Internet Research, Mackert et al. review the state of patients' health literacy and how it relates to perceived ease-of-use and the usefulness of the health technology used. The group asked study participants about experiences with fitness apps, nutrition apps, activity trackers, and patient portals, noting afterwards an association between HIT adoption and higher health literacy. They conclude that "HIT has tremendous potential to improve the health of users, and this study is a crucial step toward better understanding how health literacy is associated with HIT adoption and ensuring that users of all levels of health literacy can realize those benefits."
