Exploring the use of consumer health applications in healthcare : Perspectives from Healthcare Professionals

Gkounta, Dimitra January 2024 (has links)
This study investigates the perspectives of healthcare professionals regarding the integration of consumer health applications and patient-generated data into healthcare practices. Through semi-structured interviews with five healthcare professionals from different regions in Sweden, this thesis explores key features that are most valuable to health professionals in enhancing health personnel-patient collaboration as well as how patient-generated data from self-tracking applications can be best integrated into healthcare practices towards achieving health goals. The findings reveal a positive attitude towards these applications, with healthcare professionals recognizing their value in promoting patient engagement, facilitating data-driven decision-making, and enhancing collaboration between patients and providers. However, concerns regarding data reliability, privacy, and the need for seamless integration into existing workflows are highlighted. The study contributes to the understanding of healthcare professionals' perspectives and provides insights into the design and potential adoption and effective implementation of consumer health applications in healthcare settings.
