Key Considerations for Understanding Usability of Digital Health Initiatives for Adults With Type 2 Diabetes: A Systematic Qualitative Literature Review
Authors' conclusion
This review identified 5 key themes for consideration to understand usability of digital health initiatives. If these unmet psychosocial needs of adults with type 2 diabetes are better addressed in digital health initiatives, enhanced daily self-management will lead to more optimal diabetes management which can increase overall health outcomes, reduce the risk of longer-term complications, enhance quality of life for type 2 diabetes and improve more widespread adoption of digital health initiatives.
