The purpose of this study was to examine the perceptions of the adult general population and family physicians in Belgium regarding the use of mobile health applications (apps) in primary care.
An online survey composed of multiple-choice questions was administered to the participants. Specific questionnaires for physician and non-physician respondents were used.
One hundred and eleven adult participants from the general population and 23 family physicians completed the survey. In the general population, 41% selected "general health check-ups" as their preferred implementation of mobile health. Among family physicians, 17% preferred to implement mobile health in the first place for the monitoring of chronically ill patients and 17% for the monitoring of recently hospitalised patients.
Resistance to mobile health services persists in the general population and among family physicians. The quality of the apps and the impersonal nature of the contact are major issue in the future use of mobile health applications.
本研究的目的是调查比利时成年普通人群和家庭医生对移动健康应用程序（应用）在初级保健中的使用看法。
对参与者进行了一项由多项选择题组成的在线调查。使用了针对医生和非医生受访者的特定问卷。
111名成年普通人群参与者和23名家庭医生完成了调查。在普通人群中，41%选择“一般健康检查”作为他们首选的移动健康应用。在家庭医生中，17%首选将移动健康应用于慢性病患者的监测，17%用于近期住院患者的监测。
普通人群和家庭医生对移动健康服务仍存在抵触情绪。应用程序的质量和接触的非个性化性质是移动健康应用未来使用中的主要问题。
