Overview
Patient engagement, also called patient activation or patient participation, is defined as "patient involvement in the decision-making process in matters pertaining to health."[1]
Medicine is an ever evolving entity, and as such over recent decades the ideology of medicine has progressed from a physician-centered model to a patient-centered model. Therefore, (PMID D010358) involving patients in the decision making process in matters that pertain to their own health (PMID D010358) is of the utmost importance. As technology continues to advance, physicians are looking for new ways to engage patients in their own health utilizing smartphone and tablet technology. Multiple randomized control studies have been performed to evaluate whether mobile health has an impact on chronic healthcare conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.
Patient Engagement / Participation
Mobile Health
Mobile phone text messaging approximately doubles the odds of medication adherence. A meta analysis was conducted of 16 randomized control trials to assess the effect of mobile phone text messaging on medication adherence in the setting chronic disease. Study concluded that this intervention improved adherence rates from 50% to 67.8% or an absolute increase of 17.8%.[2]
Mobile health technology has been shown to have a greater reduction in hemoglobin A1c in the setting of diabetes. A randomized controlled trial evaluating the effectiveness of simultaneous mobile health technology in use of diabetes care, when initiating basal insulin therapy, showed a greater reduction in A1c level compared with standard therapy of basal insulin (3.2 ± 1.5% vs. 2.0% ± 2.0%; P = 0.048). This study suggests the use of mobile technology may be an effective form of communication between patients and providers and increase active patient engagement in their health.[3]
