With the increasing availability of the internet and cell phones, there is a growing demand for digitalized medical care among patients. A prospective study involving 405 patients was conducted to investigate their expectations and requirements of app-based mHealth applications. The results revealed that behavioral guidance after surgery, overview of personal findings, and contact with the treating physician were the most important factors.
Background: Along with the higher availability of Internet, worldwide access and the use of cell phones, the demands of patients for digitalized medical care have increased. Methods: A questionnaire-based prospective study of 405 patients was conducted to investigate their expectations and requirements of app-based mHealth applications. Results: Behavioral guidance after surgery, overview of personal findings, and contact with the treating physician were the most important factors. In contrast, exchange with other patients seemed to be of less importance. Conclusion: There is a need for health-oriented apps among patients undergoing plastic and reconstructive surgery, especially with the requirements for individual postoperative care.
