Interrelationships Between Patients' Data Tracking Practices, Data Sharing Practices, and Health Literacy: Onsite Survey Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the use of patient-generated data (PGD) in the optimization of patient care shows great promise, little is known about whether patients who track their PGD necessarily share the data with their clinicians. Meanwhile, health literacy-an important construct that captures an individual's ability to manage their health and to engage with their health care providers-has often been neglected in prior studies focused on PGD tracking and sharing.

Objective

This study aims to systematically examine the interrelationsh
