Technology has been a growing part of healthcare for decades. The patient experience is going digital, and consumers are leading the way by accessing EHRs and using digital tools, such as wearables and apps, to manage their health. Patient-generated health data (PGHD) are health-related data created, recorded, or gathered by or from patients (or family members or other caregivers) to help address a health concern. PGHD may have several reported patient engagement and empowerment benefits, but lingering issues may prohibit providers from actually using patients' data. In this paper we review the main recent PGHD uses, challenges and opportunities.
几十年来，科技一直是医疗保健领域的重要组成部分。患者体验正在走向数字化，消费者通过访问电子健康记录 (EHR) 和使用数字工具（如可穿戴设备和应用程序）来管理自己的健康，从而引领了这一趋势。患者生成的健康数据 (PGHD) 是指由（或来自）患者（或其家庭成员或其他照护者）创建、记录或收集的与健康相关的数据，旨在帮助解决健康问题。PGHD 可能具有多项已报道的患者参与和赋权效益，但一些遗留问题可能会妨碍医疗服务提供者实际使用患者的数据。在本文中，我们回顾了 PGHD 的主要近期用途、挑战和机遇。
