Description
With the proliferation of mobile health (mHealth) technologies and applications (apps), patients are generating more data than ever before. These electronic patient-generated health data (PGHD) have the potential to yield additional insights, decrease nursing documentation burden, and improve patient care. At the same time, PGHD are also raising questions and posing significant challenges for researchers and clinicians. This interactive panel of nursing and consumer health informatics leaders will discuss key findings and challenges from several studies aimed at engaging patients with mHealth applications with the intent of collecting PGHD for research and clinical use, suggest a road map for additional research, and discuss future directions for nursing and informatics involvement in the design and implementation of mHealth apps.
Learning Objective: After participating in the session, the learner should be able to:
- Understand the challenges from several studies aimed at engaging patients with mHealth applications with the intent of collecting data for research and clinical use
- Formulate an approach to a road map for additional research
- Apply possible solutions associated with the development of mHealth interventions and incorporation of patient-generated health data to their own work
