Caregiver and Youth Characteristics That Influence Trust in Digital Health Platforms in Pediatric Care: Mixed Methods Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Combining patient-generated health data and digital health platforms may improve patient experience and population health, mitigate rising health care costs, reduce clinician burnout, and enable health equity. However, lack of trust may be a notable barrier to the data-sharing required by such platforms. Understanding sociodemographic, health, and personal characteristics will enable developers and implementers of such technologies to consider these in their technical design requirements.

Objective

This study aims to understand relationships between sociodemographic characteristics of caregivers of children or adolescents and trust in and willingness to use digital platforms to store and share personal health information for clinical care and research.
