Exploring the Acceptability of Web-Based Health Modalities in Individuals With Hypertension: Qualitative Study
Despite being open and receptive toward the use of web-based health modalities to receive health care, participants preferred in-person interactions due to both a lack of experience using web-based health care and familiarity with traditional in-person health services. Further research is needed to understand how technology may aid future hypertension management efforts in urban African communities.
