Resumen

GARCIA-PENA, Ángel A. et al. Technological acceptance model of the ControlVit® mobile monitoring application in patients with heart failure. Rev. Colomb. Cardiol. [online]. 2022, vol.29, n.3, pp.383-388.  Epub 01-Sep-2022. ISSN 0120-5633.  https://doi.org/10.24875/rccar.m22000169.

Introduction:

Mobile phone based remote monitoring systems for heart failure patients could become simple and affordable tools to improve home management.

Objective:

to identify utility and acceptance of ControlVit® in heart failure patients.

Method:

descriptive observational pilot study in 20 outpatients with reduced ejection fraction, attending at hospital heart failure program. For six months, patients use the ControlVit® application, which supplies patient information to improve self-care and allows daily recording of specific medical variables. The data was recorded in the system log to verify frequency and data transmission. A technological acceptance questionnaire (TAM) was applied to all patients and professionals. A descriptive analysis with absolute and relative frequency distribution was also performed.

Results:

100% of patients recognized the usefulness of the application compared to self-care, 90 % deny technological anxiety or fear of using it due to the ease of use. Overall, 164 real-time alerts were detected, weight gain was the most frequent (49 %) and 91 % of patients had no hospital readmissions.

Conclusion:

The ControlVit® application is useful for the early detection of symptoms that allow timely detection of complications and early modification of treatment. The excellent acceptance of the application by patients and its ease of use, raise the possibility of implementing it as a complementary monitoring strategy in patients with heart failure.
