Key result
New planning framework guides the design of ICT-based support systems for heart failure patient learning.
Why the study?
A better understanding of the patient learning process in chronic heart failure care is needed to develop appropriate eHealth support systems.
This paper provides a conceptual planning framework for designing eHealth systems that support active learning in heart failure patients.
May guide ICT design for HF self-management; leaves open clinical efficacy and adoption.
The paper deals with the planning of eHealth systems in the area of chronic care from a patient-centred perspective. The particular area is heart failure (HF) and systems that support patients’ possibilities to be active learners during the care processes. A better understanding of this process is hoped to create a basis for the development of appropriate information systems or information technology (IS/IT) support of learning processes. The objective of this paper is the development of a better understanding of the challenges of chronic illness with special focus on HF. The results are presented as a planning framework that guides the choice and design of ICT-based support systems.

Aidemark et al. (2013) studied Heart failure. eHealth systems / ICT-based support systems was evaluated on Development of a planning framework. A planning framework was developed to guide the choice and design of ICT-based support systems that support heart failure patients as active learners during their care processes.
