Usefulness and Relevance of an eHealth Tool in Supporting the Self-Management of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Explorative Qualitative Study of a Cocreative Process

Abstract: BackgroundNew strategies are urgently needed to support self-management for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in primary care. The use of electronic health (eHealth) solutions is promising. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how such eHealth tools should be designed in order to be perceived as relevant and useful and meet the needs and expectations of the health professionals as well as people with COPD and their relatives.ObjectiveThe objective of this study was to explore the … Show more

“…Therefore, including potential users at an early stage in the development process, so-called co-design [ 44 ], could be beneficial [ 45 ]. A recent study by Tistad et al [ 46 ] concludes that the involvement of user groups can strengthen the potential for a system to be adopted into everyday life and clinical practice. With this in mind, a weakness with our telemonitoring system is that the participants were not involved in its development.…”

“…Nowadays, the rapid evolution of digital technology is leading to increased opportunities for self-management [9]. eHealth, for instance, provides the means to facilitate communication between care providers, and between care providers and their patients to exchange information and facilitate patients in self-monitoring [8], and is used to stimulate self-management in individuals with chronic disease [10,11,12,13]. For example, patients with chronic heart failure can monitor their own blood pressure and weight and communicate these data with their care provider.…”

“…A detailed description of the COPD Web is available in the published protocol [14]. In brief, the COPD Web is an interactive web-page that was co-created with patients with COPD and their relatives, health professionals and experts in COPD management [6,13]. The COPD Web consists of two main sections – one directed at health professionals, and one directed at patients with COPD.…”

“…However, even though eHealth solutions have been suggested to have the potential to deliver support for self-management in patients with COPD, effects are inconsistent and further research is warranted [11,12]. Therefore, to further address this question, our research group have developed the COPD Web, an internet based eHealth tool aimed at facilitating support for self-management for patients with COPD through increasing the patients’ knowledge and skills [13,14]. The COPD Web has been co-created together with health professionals (asthma/COPD-nurses, physicians, occupational therapists, dieticians and physiotherapists), patients with COPD and their relatives and experts in pulmonary rehabilitation [6,13].…”
