Why the study?

Dashboard adoption is constrained by skepticism regarding generic solutions designed without user input, requiring collaboration between users to ensure consensual and needs-oriented tools.

Population

Health professionals, medical technology providers (n = 6), and cardiologists (n = 5) across two use cases

Comparison

Development of heart failure telemonitoring dashboard prototypes using predefined KPIs

Design

Modified nominal group technique consensus study

Overview

May guide user-centered HF telemonitoring dashboards; extends co-creation methods but leaves clinical impact and scalability untested.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Health professionals, medical technology providers, and cardiologists involved in heart failure telemonitoring in Portuguese hospitals (n=11 total across two use cases: n=6 in UC1, n=5 in UC2)
I
Intervention
Modified nominal group technique (literature review, questionnaire, workshop) to co-create a management dashboard from predefined KPIs
O
Outcome
Development of a functional dashboard prototype for HF telemonitoring

A modified nominal group technique successfully engaged healthcare professionals in co-creating a tailored, user-centered management dashboard for heart failure telemonitoring.
