Overview

Qualitative systematic review highlights patients’ experiences with digital technology, suggesting empowerment through self-management tools.

Key Points

  • Digital technologies may empower patients to manage their multiple long-term conditions effectively, enhancing self-care efforts.
  • Analysis of 14 reports revealed key themes: lived experiences and essential components of effective digital technologies.
  • Systematic review methodology involved assessing qualitative literature and determining the quality of studies using CASP guidelines.
  • Patient-centred design of digital tools is vital for efficacy, as poorly designed options could lead to patient disengagement.
