From scepticism to integration: adoption of mobile health apps in Danish chiropractic practice-a mixed methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Musculoskeletal (MSK) pain affects quality of life and burdens healthcare systems, increasing the need for effective self-management tools. Mobile health apps offer a potential solution, but their adoption in clinical practice remains limited due to concerns about usability, patient engagement, and data security. Denmark is highly digitalized, with various digital health initiatives already in place. However, little is known about chiropractors' engagement with health apps. This study examines how Danish chiropractors utilize and perceive health apps in their practice, identifying key barriers and facilitators to adoption and providing insights for broader implementation in primary care settings to improve self-management support for patients with MSK pain.
