Patient-Centred, Technology-Based Interventions for High Treatment Burden: An Overview of the State of the Art.

Abstract

This study provides an overview of recent efforts to develop technology-based interventions for patients with high treatment burden. Adoption of a technological intervention for high treatment burden will depend on a range of factors, including: the reliability and accessibility of the technology, patient factors including age, socio-economic factors, technology literacy, overall health status and personal priorities - as well as the perceived benefits provided by the technology intervention, from the perspectives of both patients and clinicians.
