Perspectives on and Experiences With Remote Monitoring and Patient-Initiated Care Among Norwegian Patients With Axial Spondyloarthritis: Qualitative Study
Remote monitoring and patient-initiated care can adequately meet the needs of patients with axSpA with low disease activity, reducing unnecessary visits and enhancing self-efficacy. However, these approaches should not be one-size-fits-all. Care must adapt to evolving disease activity, circumstances, and preferences. Human interaction and support remain crucial, and future technological developments must address practical challenges to ensure user-friendly and reliable interfaces.
