    Planetary health is an interdisciplinary field that examines the complex connections between human health and the earth's ecosystems. Established by the Rockefeller Foundation-Lancet Commission in 2015, it seeks to understand and address health risks arising from anthropogenic environmental change. As an emerging but impactful discipline, we aimed to explore the evolution of planetary health research landscape for the first decade through a bibliometric analysis of publications during the last decade from January 2015 to December 2024, sourced from databases including PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. Utilizing the bibliometrix, and ArcGIS software, we visualized the keywords, co-occurrence networks and publication trends. A total of 587 publications, with a peak in 2022, were included in our analysis. These publications were published in 244 journals, written by authors from 102 countries. Key themes identified were climate change, sustainability, food security, and public health, with prominent links to One Health and Eco Health though major gaps exist in indigenous health, health equity, policy and education. While the contributions were dominated by high-income countries and specialized journals, regions most affected by planetary health challenges, were underrepresented. Amid global health and environmental inequalities, our paper demonstrates the growing interdisciplinary engagement of planetary health and underscores the unmet need for the equitable and growing collaborations with most vulnerable and resource poor settings, and the planetary health integration into global policy frameworks. • Planetary health is vital to examine complex connections between humans and ecosystems • A bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore the evolution of planetary health • Key themes were climate change, sustainability, food security, and public health • Major gaps exist in indigenous health, health equity, policy and education • Equitable integration of planetary health into global policy will be impactful

    Plos Digital Health, 2026
    In this secondary analysis of a German cross-sectional survey data, we investigated key determinants and predictors of telemedicine (TM) use among healthcare professionals (HCPs) treating cardiology patients. We applied Bayesian Model Averaging (BMA) for explanatory analysis and Machine Learning (ML) for predictive modeling. BMA identified TM determinants after excluding collinear variables and selecting variables based on LASSO regression. The extreme gradient boosting (XGBoost) ML algorithm predicted TM use and identified key predictors, using nested cross-validation to prevent overfitting. ML model performance was assessed via area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC), while predictor importance was evaluated using Shapley additive explanations. Among 112 HCPs, 64 (57%) used TM. BMA identified 12 determinants, including positive associations with TM knowledge, being a cardiologist, female gender, and perceiving TM as suitable for heart failure and for monitoring events. Negative associations included concerns about insufficient patient benefits, perceptions that TM is less suitable for acute events, and skepticism regarding its relevance for extending aftercare intervals. The XGBoost model showed strong predictive performance (AUROC: 0.88 [95% CI: 0.75; 1.00], accuracy: 0.79) for TM use. Key promoting factors included TM knowledge, being a cardiologist, female gender, number of average patients per quarter, and perceiving TM as suitable for arrhythmias, device follow-up, and heart failure. Limiting factors included older age, personal use of TM for one’s own health, and skepticism about TM’s relevance in acute situations. These findings emphasize the importance of knowledge and attitudes in shaping TM adoption and show that ML can accurately identify healthcare professionals most likely to use TM, supporting targeted interventions and safer implementation in cardiology.

  • The Digital Exposome: A Life Course Framework for Health in the Digital Age
    Pascal Petit, Nicolas Vuillerme
    Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2026
    Digital technologies are reshaping human behavior, health care delivery, and population health; however, their cumulative effects across the lifespan remain underexplored. This viewpoint argues that exposures arising from interactions with digital technologies should be formally integrated into exposome science as a distinct, measurable component of the human environment. Our aims are to (1) redefine the digital component of the exposome (the digital exposome) within the broader exposome framework, (2) examine its life course implications for health and equity, and (3) outline a research and policy agenda to enable its systematic measurement and integration into clinical and public health practice. Digital technology–related exposures can confer benefits such as enhanced health monitoring, personalized interventions, improved access to care, and the promotion of healthy behaviors. However, they may also introduce potential risks, including mental health challenges, cognitive and circadian disruptions, sedentary lifestyles, exposure to misinformation, and widening inequities among vulnerable populations. Despite their ubiquity, digital technology–related exposures remain poorly integrated into clinical medicine, epidemiology, or public and global health policies. Drawing on interdisciplinary evidence from exposure science, epidemiology, and digital phenotyping research, we propose a refined conceptual definition of the digital exposome grounded in the classical exposome domains. We propose redefining the digital exposome as the full spectrum of exposures resulting from interactions or proximities with digital technologies and their combined influence on health across the lifespan. This framework conceptualizes digital technology–related exposures as a dynamic set of environmental influences operating through sociotechnical, behavioral, and biological pathways over the life course. To operationalize this framework, we discuss practical approaches using validated behavioral instruments, objective device use logs, ecological momentary assessments, smartphone-based digital phenotyping, and wearable sensing technologies. Systematic measurement, large-scale longitudinal studies, and harmonized exposure metrics are needed to characterize the cumulative health impacts of digital environments more accurately. Emerging tools such as digital markers or biomarkers and digital phenotypes offer promising opportunities to link real-world technology use with physiological and biological outcomes, thereby supporting precision medicine and population health strategies. Ethical governance, privacy safeguards, and equity considerations must be embedded from the start, drawing on emerging exposomethics frameworks. Recognizing the digital exposome as a modifiable determinant of health offers a foundation for evidence-based guidance, prevention strategies, and policy interventions suited to increasingly digital societies. By integrating digital technology–related exposures into exposome science, clinical practice, and public health research, this viewpoint seeks to foster interdisciplinary dialogue, guide future empirical work, and support the development of safer and more equitable digital environments across the lifespan.
  • User Profiles and Engagement in a Hypertension Self-Management App: Cross-Sectional Survey
    Felix Muehlensiepen, Susann May, Frances Seifert, Eileen Wengemuth, Olen Johannsen, Martin Middeke, Martin Heinze, Pascal Petit, Nicolas Vuillerme, Sebastian Spethmann, Dunja Bruch
    Journal of Medical Internet Research, 2026
    Background Mobile health (mHealth) technologies can improve hypertension self-management, yet real-world adoption remains limited and unequally distributed. Objective This study aimed to characterize the profiles, usage patterns, and engagement of active users of a hypertension self-management app ( Hypertension.APP ) in Germany, with a focus on user engagement and potential digital divides. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional online survey among adult users of Hypertension.APP in Germany between January and September 2023. An 88-item questionnaire assessed app usage patterns, perceived utility, integration into clinical care, sociodemographic and clinical data, and digital health literacy (eHealth Literacy Scale; scores 16‐40). Digital health literacy was categorized as low (16‐23.99), moderate (24‐31.99), or high (32-40). Descriptive statistics and univariable ordinal logistic regression were used to explore associations between sociodemographic and clinical variables and app usage frequency. Results Of 254 respondents, the mean age was 53.6 years, and 54.3% (138/254) were male. A total of 44.5% (113/254) had a university or technical college degree, and 44.5% (113/254) reported a monthly net income higher than €2500 (US $2950). Most participants (224/254, 88.2%) reported access to at least two digital devices. Overall, 88.2% (224/254) had moderate or high digital health literacy (eHealth Literacy Scale ≥24). App engagement was high: 80.7% (205/254) reported using the app at least weekly, and 52.4% (133/254) reported using the app to prepare for medical visits. However, only 20.1% (51/254) reported that the app was formally integrated into their medical care, and 11.8% (30/254) indicated that medication had been adjusted based on app data. In univariable ordinal logistic regression analyses, higher education, longer duration of hypertension, and living in a small town (5000‐20,000 inhabitants) were associated with more frequent app use, whereas systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher was associated with less frequent use. Digital health literacy was not clearly associated with app usage frequency among current users. Conclusions Users of this hypertension self-management app were predominantly well-educated, digitally literate individuals with established hypertension, reinforcing concerns about a persistent digital divide. While app usability and engagement were high, formal clinical integration remained limited. Simply making an app available is insufficient; strategies to promote equitable access, strengthen clinical integration, and support patients with lower digital health literacy are needed for mHealth to contribute effectively to hypertension management.
  • Investigating Parkinson’s disease risk across farming activities using data mining and large-scale administrative health data
    Pascal Petit, François Berger, Vincent Bonneterre, Nicolas Vuillerme
    Npj Parkinson S Disease, 2025
    The risk of Parkinson’s disease (PD) associated with farming has received considerable attention, in particular for pesticide exposure. However, data on PD risk associated with specific farming activities is lacking. We aimed to explore whether specific farming activities exhibited a higher risk of PD than others among the entire French farm manager (FM) population. A secondary analysis of real-world administrative insurance claim data and electronic health/medical records (TRACTOR project) was conducted to estimate PD risk for 26 farming activities using data mining. PD cases were identified through chronic disease declarations and antiparkinsonian drug claims. There were 8845 PD cases among 1,088,561 FMs. The highest-risk group included FMs engaged in pig farming, cattle farming, truck farming, fruit arboriculture, and crop farming, with mean hazard ratios (HRs) ranging from 1.22 to 1.67. The lowest-risk group included all activities involving horses and small animals, as well as gardening, landscaping and reforestation companies (mean HRs: 0.48–0.81). Our findings represent a preliminary work that suggests the potential involvement of occupational risk factors related to farming in PD onset and development. Future research focusing on farmers engaged in high-risk farming activities will allow to uncover potential occupational factors by better characterizing the farming exposome, which could improve PD surveillance among farmers.
  • Impact of forward and backward walking on gait parameters across parkinson’s disease stages and severity: a prospective observational study
    Tracy Milane, Nicolas Vuillerme, Pascal Petit, Elke Warmerdam, Robbin Romijnders, Edoardo Bianchini, Walter Maetzler, Clint Hansen
    BMC Neurology, 2025
    Background Parkinson’s disease (PD) is characterized by motor symptoms altering gait domains such as slow walking speed, reduced step and stride length, and increased double support time. Gait disturbances occur in the early, mild to moderate, and advanced stages of the disease in both backward walking (BW) and forward walking (FW), but are more pronounced in BW. At this point, however, no information is available about BW performance and disease stages specified using the Hoehn and Yahr (H&Y) scale. The objectives of this study were to examine the link between clinical scores and gait parameters in PD, and to assess gait parameters in both FW and BW among PD patients in early disease stages (H&Y: 1–2) and advanced disease stages (H&Y: 3–4), as well as among PD patients with mild and moderate disease severity as per the Movement Disorder Society-Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale Part III (MDS-UPDRS III). Methods Spatiotemporal gait parameters were analyzed during FW and BW over a 5-meter walkway at a comfortable speed using 3D motion capture. Correlations and regressions between clinical scores and gait parameters were examined. Wilcoxon Mann-Whitney rank sum tests were used to compare PD patients in early and advanced disease stages and assess differences in gait parameters for both FW and BW conditions. Results The study included a total of 25 PD patients (aged 65 ± 9 years), among whom 10 were in the H&Y stages 1–2 and 15 in stages 3–4. All participants were evaluated with the MDS-UPDRS III, with 17 having a total score ≤ 32 (mild impairment and disability) and 8 having a total score > 32 (moderate impairment and disability). During BW, PD patients with H&Y stages 1–2 had significantly (p < 0.05) longer step lengths, stride lengths, and a higher walk ratio compared to those with H&Y stage 3–4. Regardless of the walking condition, no difference was found between PD patients with a MDS-UPDRS III total score ≤ 32 and patients with a MDS-UPDRS III total score > 32. Discussion The study demonstrates that individuals with PD in H&Y stages 3–4 exhibit compromised FW and BW abilities in comparison to those in stages 1–2. Notably, the disparities are more prominent in the realm of backward walking. These findings substantiate the existence of distinct gait patterns between the early and advanced stages of the disease, with the variations being particularly accentuated in the context of backward walking. Conclusions Taken together, our results suggest that backward walking may hold greater clinical utility in assessing and managing PD patients. Trial registration The research procedure was approved by the ethical committee of the Medical Faculty of Kiel University (D438/18). The study is registered in the German Clinical Trials Register on 20,200,904 (DRKS00022998).

    Health is "a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity". Health must therefore be considered in its entirety. To begin with, however, it is vital to move swiftly from the concept of holistic health to its practical implementation. This is what the first Digital Health Network symposium proposed on May 30 and 31, 2024. The Digital Health Network was originally set up by a group of players from the healthcare sector, industry, research and elected representatives, with the aim of pooling feedback from experience as close as possible to local realities. The following points were addressed: i) rebalancing the curative approach with a greater emphasis on prevention and health promotion; ii) rebalancing the genetic approach with a greater emphasis on exposomics; iii) insufficient use of digital technology to improve the health of local populations; iv) governance and organizational challenges from the point of view of local decision-makers and observers, with a focus on research; and v) the ambitions of the Digital Health Network. The symposium provided an opportunity to share case studies of public health challenges in local areas, and possible responses in terms of infrastructure and stakeholder participation: citizens, patients, healthcare professionals, service providers, experts and other stakeholders. The challenges of ageing and geriatric frailty underline the importance of a global, preventive and multidisciplinary approach to promote successful, independent ageing.
  • Global research trends on the human exposome: a bibliometric analysis (2005–2024)
    Pascal Petit, Nicolas Vuillerme
    Environmental Science and Pollution Research, 2025
    Exposome represents one of the most pressing issues in the environmental science research field. However, a comprehensive summary of worldwide human exposome research is lacking. We aimed to explore the bibliometric characteristics of scientific publications on the human exposome. A bibliometric analysis of human exposome publications from 2005 to December 2024 was conducted using the Web of Science in accordance with PRISMA guidelines. Trends/hotspots were investigated with keyword frequency, co-occurrence, and thematic map. Sex disparities in terms of publications and citations were examined. From 2005 to 2024, 931 publications were published in 363 journals and written by 4529 authors from 72 countries. The number of publications tripled during the last 5 years. Publications written by females (51% as first authors and 34% as last authors) were cited fewer times (13,674) than publications written by males (22,361). Human exposome studies mainly focused on air pollution, metabolomics, chemicals (e.g., per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), endocrine-disrupting chemicals, pesticides), early-life exposure, biomarkers, microbiome, omics, cancer, and reproductive disorders. Social and built environment factors, occupational exposure, multi-exposure, digital exposure (e.g., screen use), climate change, and late-life exposure received less attention. Our results uncovered high-impact countries, institutions, journals, references, authors, and key human exposome research trends/hotspots. The use of digital exposome technologies (e.g., sensors, and wearables) and data science (e.g., artificial intelligence) has blossomed to overcome challenges and could provide valuable knowledge toward precision prevention. Exposome risk scores represent a promising research avenue.
  • Environmental pollution and the risk of congenital hypothyroidism: Insights from a French nationwide retrospective ecological cohort study

    Journal of Hazardous Materials Advances, 2025
    • Environmental pollutants could impact neonatal TSH levels • Impact on congenital hypothyroidism development is unknown • Evaluation of exposure to certain pollutants in the third trimester of pregnancy • Associations with an increased risk for nitrate and inverse for PM • More studies needed to conclude on pollutants' effect on congenital hypothyroidism To assess the potential association between congenital hypothyroidism (CH) and third-trimester maternal exposure to nitrate and perchlorate in tap water and to particulate matter (PM) in outdoor air. Using the French National Health Data System (SNDS), a retrospective ecological cohort was created, including all children born in France between 2014 and 2019. Ecological data for each child's municipality were used to examine associations, measured as odds ratios (OR), between mean exposure levels and CH in 1,417,402 newborns . Both single and multipollutant analyses were undertaken. To limit residual bias from the administrative nature of SNDS, analyses were conducted at both national and regional levels. The Benjamini-Hochberg approach was used to account for multiple testing. Higher exposure to nitrates was associated with a greater risk of permanent CH (OR [95%CI] = 1.017 [1.001;1.035] in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region and 1.024 [1.001;1.048] for the Pays-de-la-Loire region). Higher exposure to PM2.5 or PM10 was associated with a lower risk of permanent CH (OR [95%CI] = 0.928 [0.873;0.982] for PM10 in the Nord-Pas-de-Calais). These findings were confirmed in multi-pollutant analyses. In some French regions, prenatal exposure to nitrate ions in tap water was significantly associated with an elevated risk of permanent HC, while exposure to PM was significantly associated with a decreased risk. However, using municipal-level exposure proxies may introduce ecological bias, and results were not robust enough to draw firm conclusions about pollutant influence on CH risk.
