To evaluate patterns of use and perceived benefits and barriers to health/wellness applications (apps) and smart devices among people living with HIV (PLHIV) and their physicians.
Online multicenter observational survey (October 15-19, 2018).
Study participation was accepted by 229 physicians and 838/1377 PLHIV followed in 46 centers, of which 325 (39%) responded online. Overall, 83/288 (29%) PLHIV had already downloaded at least one app: these 'downloaders' were younger (OR0.96±0.01, P=0.004), educated to at least university entry level (OR2.27±0.86, P=0.03), and more frequently used geolocation-based dating websites (OR3.00±1.09, P=0.002). However, 227/314 (72%) PLHIV claimed they were ready to use an app recommended by a physician. For the 60/83 PLHIV who answered, the ideal app would be a vaccination tracker (76%) to better communicate with their physician (68%). However, 96/277 (42%) physicians were unable to answer this question and for 94/227 (41%) of them, the ideal patient app would be for schedule management. Although PLHIV used smart devices, 231/306 (75%) would want to report the data to their physicians and 137/225 (61%) of physicians would welcome this exchange. The main physician-side barrier to this exchange was concerns over data security.
mHealth apps and smart devices have failed to garner adoption by PLHIV. There is a case for good-quality health data sharing and exchange if PLHIV are provided with appropriately secure tools and physicians are backed up by adapted legislation.
评估艾滋病毒感染者(PLHIV)及其医生对健康/保健应用程序(apps)和智能设备的使用模式、感知益处和障碍。
在线多中心观察性调查(2018 年 10 月 15 日至 19 日)。
46 个中心中有 229 名医生和 1377 名 PLHIV 中的 838 名接受了研究参与,其中 325 名(39%)在线回复。总体而言,288 名 PLHIV 中的 83 名(29%)已经下载了至少一个应用程序:这些“下载者”更年轻(OR0.96±0.01,P=0.004),受过至少大学入学水平的教育(OR2.27±0.86,P=0.03),并且更频繁地使用基于地理位置的约会网站(OR3.00±1.09,P=0.002)。然而,227/314 名(72%)PLHIV 声称他们准备使用医生推荐的应用程序。对于 60/83 名回答问题的 PLHIV,理想的应用程序将是疫苗追踪器(76%),以更好地与他们的医生沟通(68%)。然而,96/277 名(42%)医生无法回答这个问题,对于 94/227 名(41%)医生来说,理想的患者应用程序将用于日程管理。尽管 PLHIV 使用智能设备,但 231/306 名(75%)希望将数据报告给他们的医生,而 137/225 名(61%)的医生欢迎这种交流。这种交流的主要医生方面的障碍是对数据安全的担忧。
移动健康应用程序和智能设备未能被 PLHIV 采用。如果为 PLHIV 提供适当安全的工具,并为医生提供相应的立法支持,那么共享和交换高质量的健康数据是有意义的。
