Biebl J., et al.; JMIR mHealth and uHealth
The use of mobile health (mHealth) apps is becoming increasingly widespread. However, little is known about the attitudes, expectations, and basic acceptance of health care professionals toward such treatment options, especially in the context of osteoarthritis (OA) self-management. The objective of this study was to determine the expectations and attitudes of medical professionals toward app-based therapy for hip or knee OA. 127 health care professionals completed a novel questionnaire about app-based therapy. The study showed a high acceptance of app-based therapy for osteoarthritis, indicating a huge potential of this form of treatment to be applied, prescribed, and recommended by medical professionals.
