Why the study?
Does an interactive decision-making system improve empowerment and self-care in patients with heart failure and their informal caregivers?
Does an interactive decision-making system improve empowerment and self-care in patients with heart failure and their informal caregivers?
An interactive decision-making system is perceived by heart failure patients and caregivers as a tool that could empower and enable effective self-care, though perceived risks need mitigation.
Supports design of interactive HF decision tools; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective validation before adoption.
Patients and informal caregivers see clear benefits of digitalisation in healthcare. They perceive that an interactive decision-making system for patients could empower and enable effective self-care. Our results provide important insights for development processes of patient-centred decision-making systems by identifying facilitators and barriers for acceptance. Further research is needed, especially regarding the influence and mitigation of patients and informal caregivers' perceived risks.
