Abstract

Physician appraisal of Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) is unclear. It is not known how willing they are to consider self-registered measurements prior to treatment. In this research, a semi-structured interview was designed and administered to 10 physicians in Denmark. The study found that physicians are willing to work with unsolicited PGHD and integrate it as a part of the treatment if evidence proved the data to be valid and reliable. They request documented evidence for the use of each PGHD device and mobile application.
