Determinants of the use of health and fitness mobile apps by patients with asthma: secondary analysis of observational studies

Ver documento

Detalhes bibliográficos
Resumo:Health and fitness apps have potential benefits to improve self-management and disease control among patients with asthma. However, inconsistent use rates have been reported across studies, regions, and health systems. A better understanding of the characteristics of users and nonusers is critical to design solutions that are effectively integrated in patients’ daily lives, and to ensure that these equitably reach out to different groups of patients, thus improving rather than entrenching health inequities.
