App- and Wearable-Based Remote Monitoring for Patients With Myasthenia Gravis and Its Specialists: Feasibility and Usability Study
Remote monitoring of patients with MG through the telemedical platform demonstrated good feasibility and acceptability, as evidenced by above-average adherence rates and user satisfaction for both patients and physicians. The majority of patients wanted to continue using the app. These findings highlight the potential for user-friendly digital tools to enhance care for patients with MG, although addressing technical challenges and ensuring patient comfort with wearables are essential for optimal implementation. Further research involving larger cohorts and longer study duration is warranted to validate these findings.
