Perceptions and Needs of Stakeholders Regarding MyPal Project’s Electronic Patient-Reported Outcome App: Cross-Sectional Qualitative Focus Group Study
Our findings indicate that ePRO-based interventions such as MyPal can improve palliative care by facilitating communication and patient monitoring. However, addressing privacy concerns, optimizing usability for diverse populations, and ensuring seamless integration into clinical workflows are critical for successful adoption. Insights from this study will inform future development and optimization of eHealth interventions in palliative care.
