Understanding Health Care Workers’ Attitudes and Preferences Toward Digital Patient Monitoring Platforms: Cross-Country Survey Study
This study shows that health workers generally support the use of digital health tools, which have the potential to improve health care efficiency and patient outcomes through enhanced monitoring and timely interventions. To facilitate adoption, policymakers should strengthen infrastructure, enact supportive legislation, and tailor interventions for groups less inclined to use these tools. Aligning digital health platform features with HCW preferences is crucial, as it directly impacts HCWs' willingness to integrate these tools into daily routines, ultimately benefiting patients. Future research should examine additional factors influencing HCW adoption and address organizational and infrastructural barriers to optimize implementation of digital health platform and improve patient care.
