This study incorporates Fitbit wearable sensor technology into a mobile application named Cancer Wellness Program (CWP) for patient monitoring. The objective of this study is to explore the experiences of healthcare providers in using the CWP application for managing symptoms of people with cancer and in delivering health education programs. : A qualitative study design with a purposive sampling approach was employed, using a structured, in-depth interview method to involve 15 healthcare workers. Key features of the CWP application include a patient education platform, a dashboard to monitor patient health data and learning progress, and interactive communication between the two parties. Multiple advantages of this application were identified by healthcare providers, namely user-friendliness, data aggregation and personalization. Despite minor technical drawbacks, the CWP application proves to be a powerful assistant for healthcare providers to optimize patient care.
本研究将Fitbit可穿戴传感器技术整合到一款名为癌症健康计划(CWP)的移动应用程序中,用于患者监测。本研究的目的是探索医疗保健提供者使用CWP应用程序管理癌症患者症状以及开展健康教育项目的经验。采用了定性研究设计和目的抽样方法,使用结构化的深度访谈方法,涉及15名医护人员。CWP应用程序的关键特性包括患者教育平台、用于监测患者健康数据和学习进度的仪表板,以及双方之间的交互式通信。医疗保健提供者确定了该应用程序的多个优点,即用户友好性、数据汇总和个性化。尽管存在一些小的技术缺陷,但CWP应用程序被证明是医疗保健提供者优化患者护理的有力助手。
