Clinical Experiences of Working with Patient-Generated Health Data in Primary Care.

ABSTRACT

This research aims to provide insight into the GP experience with patient-generated health data (PGHD) in a virtual care visit. Despite the prevalence of wearables, including smartwatches, the acceptability of generated data in primary care is understudied. The result of this study from mixed-method analysis showed the basic capabilities of PGHD to enhance clinical decision-making and positive impact on collaboration with the patient. The impact of PGHD on clinician satisfaction was not determined, highlighting the importance of rigorous methodology in future research.
