What features facilitate the use of mobile apps for heart failure self-management from the perspective of patients and primary care clinicians?
Mobile apps for heart failure self-management should incorporate communication features, personalized feedback, and automated self-monitoring to improve usefulness and ease of use.
The use of mobile apps to support heart failure self-management may be facilitated by features that increase the usefulness and utility of the app, such as communication ability in-between consultations and personalized feedback. Also important is facilitating ease of use by supporting automated self-monitoring through integration with wireless devices. Future research should consider these features in the co-design and testing of heart failure mobile apps with patients and clinicians.
