A Clinician and Electronic Health Record Wearable Device Intervention to Increase Physical Activity in Patients With Obesity: Formative Qualitative Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The number of individuals using digital health devices has grown in recent years. A higher rate of use in patients suggests that primary care providers (PCPs) may be able to leverage these tools to effectively guide and monitor physical activity (PA) for their patients. Despite evidence that remote patient monitoring (RPM) may enhance obesity interventions, few primary care practices have implemented programs that use commercial digital health tools to promote health or reduce complications of the disease.

Objective

This formative study aimed to assess the perceptions, needs, and challenges of implementation of an electronic health record (EHR)-integrated RPM program using wearable devices to promote patient PA at a large urban primary care practice to prepare for
