Factors Influencing Sustained Engagement with ECG Self-Monitoring: Perspectives from Patients and Health Care Providers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Patient-generated health data (PGHD) collected digitally with mobile health (mHealth) technology has garnered recent excitement for its potential to improve precision management of chronic conditions such as atrial fibrillation (AF), a common cardiac arrhythmia. However, sustained engagement is a major barrier to collection of PGHD. Little is known about barriers to sustained engagement or strategies to intervene upon engagement through application design.

Objective

This article investigates individual patient differences in sustained engagement among individuals with a history of AF who are self-monitoring using mHealth technology.

Methods

This qualitative study involved patients, health care providers, and research coordinators previously involved in a ra
