Determinants of the Uptake and Frequency of Use of a Web Portal Digital Health Intervention in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and/or Coronary Heart Disease: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial

This study is innovative in jointly examining determinants of the uptake and frequency of use of the same DHI within a single context and sample. By demonstrating that factors driving uptake do not necessarily increase the frequency of use, it advances existing research. The study contributes to a more differentiated understanding of DHI use and shows that distinct strategies are required to promote adoption versus sustained engagement. Applying this approach to other DHIs and settings may support more targeted and equitable digital health implementation in real-world contexts, thereby optimizing digital health deployment strategies overall.

Abstract

This study is innovative in jointly examining determinants of the uptake and frequency of use of the same DHI within a single context and sample. By demonstrating that factors driving uptake do not necessarily increase the frequency of use, it advances existing research. The study contributes to a more differentiated understanding of DHI use and shows that distinct strategies are required to promote adoption versus sustained engagement. Applying this approach to other DHIs and settings may support more targeted and equitable digital health implementation in real-world contexts, thereby optimizing digital health deployment strategies overall.
