We examined the current state of digital health tracking and information sharing with health professionals among patients with chronic conditions using data from the National Cancer Institute's 2018 Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). Descriptive statistics were used to examine the characteristics of health tracking and information sharing, Chi-squared tests were used to compare across groups, and multivariate logistic regression models were used to control for covariates. Between 17.4-37.6% of respondents reported sharing information with a health professional through either e-mail, monitoring device, text message, or online medical record message. There were sociodemographic differences across health tracking and information sharing modalities, and patients with chronic conditions disproportionately lacked Internet access, a basic cell phone, smartphone, or tablet compared to those without chronic conditions (p<0.05). This suggests there are sociodemographic and technology-based disparities for health tracking and information sharing for patients with chronic conditions.
我们利用美国国立癌症研究所2018年健康信息全国趋势调查（HINTS）的数据，研究了慢性病患者与医疗专业人员进行数字健康跟踪和信息共享的现状。描述性统计用于检验健康跟踪和信息共享的特征，卡方检验用于跨组比较，多元逻辑回归模型用于控制协变量。17.4%-37.6%的受访者报告通过电子邮件、监测设备、短信或在线病历消息与医疗专业人员共享信息。健康跟踪和信息共享方式存在社会人口统计学差异，与无慢性病的患者相比，慢性病患者在互联网接入、基本手机、智能手机或平板电脑方面的缺乏比例过高（p<0.05）。这表明慢性病患者在健康跟踪和信息共享方面存在社会人口统计学和基于技术的差异。
