Abstract

The current study analyzes the information collected and the lessons learned during the first six months of the CONNECARE project in Israel, in order to assess the use of the mobile technology by patients, their motivations and obstacles; as well as their satisfaction. As of the middle of February 2019, 59 patients were recruited and 18 discharged from the project and completed the feedback questionnaires. Based on preliminary data presented in this chapter, as measured against the McGaughey et al. Research Framework, it can be concluded that the usage of the CONNECARE mobile platform can be rated as moderate. The analysis together with insights from the literature, suggest that usage of the CONNECARE app could be improved by introducing additional features that would increase patients' motivation to use the system as well as its full integration into usual healthcare processes.
