Six-Month Home-Based Telemedicine Program for Heart Failure and Type 2 Diabetes Patients: Applicability, Usability of Telemonitoring Devices and Apps, and Patient Satisfaction. Healthcare (Basel). 2025 Dec 30;14(1):90. doi: 10.3390/healthcare14010090. AbstractBackground: Telemedicine can improve early symptom detection using medical devicesand applications. It can also help identify barriers to patient adherence and enhance communicationwith healthcare professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the applicability,usability, and patient satisfaction with telemonitoring devices and apps for individualswith heart failure and type 2 diabetes. Methods: In a randomized study, patients in theIntervention Group received six months of nursing teleassistance and telemonitoring usinga wearable electrocardiograph, a step tracker, and an App for recording clinical informationand conducting video calls. Usability was measured using the System Usability Scale (SUS)and satisfaction with a six-item questionnaire. Results: A total of 43 patients (71 ± 8 years)were enrolled in the intervention group. A total of 41 (95%) of patients utilized the Appdaily, entering 13,048 information, 53 ± 59 per patient. The nurses performed 896 videocalls,22 ± 21 per patient. The mean number of walking sessions recorded was 6.1 ± 0.9per week (159 ± 24 per patient). Thirty-five patients (81%) used a 3-lead ECG and recorded942 traces, 27 ± 14 per patient. At the end, 40 SUS were collected from patients: 15 (38%,71 ± 7 years) considered the system excellent or good, 20 (50%, 71 ± 8 years) thought itfair, and 5 (13%, 74 ± 7 years) considered the system offered poor. The overall assessmentof patient satisfaction with the service was 22 ± 3.3. Conclusions: This study providesevidence that, although technology can be complex for older adults, it is broadly acceptedby most patients, especially when the benefits are understood. The support offered bynurses is essential for significantly enhancing the overall patient experience.
