Engagement of atrial fibrillation patients with the AF-EduApp, a new mobile application to support AF management

Figures

• 

  Figure 1. Usage of the application over time is shown as the percentage of the number of patients using the application over the total patients still in follow-up during that time period (shown in table below the figure). In addition, median days of using the application by the active patients was shown in the table below the figure. FU, follow-up; IQR, interquartile range.

• 

  Figure 2. User data of the different modules over the entire study period (A) Median percentage of used days over total follow-up days for the six available modules in the AF-EduApp (n = 152); (B) Median number of added parameters in the measurement module (n = 152); (C) Median time spent on each chapter of the education module (n = 135). AF, atrial fibrillation; Adh, therapy adherence, FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions. Part A, B and D are shown as boxplots with median, IQR and 10-90 percentiles.

  Figure 3. Therapy adherence based on app user data and electronic monitoring with the MEMS (A) Percentage of patients (n = 87) with different categories of therapy adherence to OAC based on indicating taken in the medication module (B) Real-world regimen adherence (n = 84) based on electronic monitoring with the MEMS. Adh, therapy adherence.

  Figure 4. Information on the questions raised by the app patients (n = 75). In green the categories with study related questions and in brown/grey categories related to clinical questions. (A) Number of questions per classification; (B) Median (and IQR) time spent to answer questions per category. AF, atrial fibrillation.

  Figure 5. Satisfaction with the follow-up. Patients gave (A) a score on ten concerning their overall perceived quality of follow-up during the study, (B) an indication of the evolution of their health during the past year, and (C) which future follow-up methods they would prefer. App ITT: Application group intention-to-treat (i.e. App and no-App group); SC, Standard care group 1. P < .001 between App ITT and SC.

  Figure 6. Satisfaction with the follow-up in the past twelve (App ITT) or eighteen months (SC) between patients capable or not with an application. Patients gave (A) a score on ten concerning their overall follow-up during the study, (B) an indication of the evolution of their health during the past year.
