Along with the digital revolution, information and communication technology applications are currently transforming the delivery of health and social care services. This paper investigates prevailing opinions toward future technology-based healthcare solutions among Austrian healthcare professionals. During a biphasic online Delphi survey, panelists rated expected outcomes of two future scenarios describing pervasive health monitoring applications. Experts perceived that the scenarios were highly innovative, but only moderately desirable, and that their implementation could especially improve patients' knowledge, quality of healthcare, and living standard. Contrarily, monetary aspects, technical prerequisites, and data security were identified as key obstacles. We further compared the impact of professional affiliation. Clearly, opinions toward pervasive healthcare differed between the interest groups, medical professionals, patient advocates, and administrative personnel. These data suggest closer collaborations between stakeholder groups to harmonize differences in expectations regarding pervasive health monitoring.
随着数字革命的发展，信息和通信技术应用目前正在改变健康和社会护理服务的提供方式。本文调查了奥地利医疗保健专业人员对未来基于技术的医疗保健解决方案的普遍看法。在一项双阶段在线德尔菲调查中，小组成员对描述普及健康监测应用的两种未来情景的预期结果进行了评分。专家们认为这些情景具有高度创新性，但吸引力一般，并且其实施尤其可以提高患者的知识水平、医疗质量和生活水平。相反，资金方面、技术前提条件和数据安全被确定为关键障碍。我们进一步比较了专业背景的影响。显然，不同利益群体（医学专业人员、患者权益倡导者和行政人员）对普及医疗保健的看法存在差异。这些数据表明，利益相关者群体之间需要更紧密的合作，以协调对普及健康监测期望方面的差异。
