Abstract [en]

The World Health Organization (WHO) defines eHealth as “the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) for health”. Inadequate observation of vital signs, which can lead to failure to recognize deterioration, that could have been prevented otherwise is not only a cause for individual suffering but the society as well. One strategy to achieve sustainable care is through self-monitoring with the help of telemonitoring devices, a type of eHealth service, that has been found to reduce delivery costs and increase medical quality. According to a large number of studies, eHealth has the potential to enhance better communication between healthcare professionals and patients, increase awareness about the disease among patients and lead a healthy life. The WHO guidelines on digital interventions highlight how eHealth solutions act as a useful resource to improve health and access to health services. Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted to understand the benefits and challenges associated with automated self-monitoring health applications from healthcare professionals’ perspectives. Results indicate the perceived benefits, potential barriers, and organizational challenges that come along with the implementation. Viewpoints have been elucidated and discussed concerning previous research articles used during the study. The thesis concludes with the fulfillment of the goal by establishing a basis for further research, according to the authoris probably needed.
