A Patient-Driven Mobile Health Innovation in Cystic Fibrosis Care: Comparative Cross-Case Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-driven innovation in health care is an emerging phenomenon with benefits for patients with chronic conditions, such as cystic fibrosis (CF). However, previous research has not examined what may facilitate or hinder the implementation of such innovations from the provider perspective.
