Preferences for Mobile App Features to Support People Living With Chronic Heart Diseases: Discrete Choice Study
The study's findings suggest that designing preference-informed mobile health apps could significantly enhance adoption rates and engagement among individuals with CHD, potentially leading to improved clinical outcomes. Adoption rates were notably higher when app attributes included easy navigation, vital sign monitoring, feedback provision, personalized health education, and flexible data entry for symptom diary maintenance. Future research to explore factors influencing app adoption among different groups of patients is warranted.
