[Wearables to support self-management of older adults with chronic diseases : A qualitative study from the perspectives of patients and physicians].
Article in Zeitschrift fur Gerontologie und Geriatrie, 2018. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 4 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe use of wearable devices (WD) is discussed as an option to support elderly chronically ill people. These technologies lack essential research regarding the improvement of self-management. This study aimes to identify perspectives, expectations and their underlying background of patients and physicians with respect to the usage of WDs to enhance self-management.
methodsIn this study a total of 14 patients and physicians were surveyed using a semi-structured questionnaire design. The data were analyzed by qualitative content analysis.
resultsThe participants have in general a positive attitude towards the use of WDs with respect to memory function, self-control, sense of security, documentation of vital parameters and communication about the disease, as well as suitability for everyday use; however, in many cases participants are concerned about the usage of WDs for a variety of reasons. They perceive the device as unnecessary or they lack technological self-confidence and felt controlled as well as data protection concerns. Participant responses show prerequisites which should be met for the usage of a WD requiring an individual needs assessment.
conclusionThe results show a potential of WDs to improve self-management. The usage of WD could have a positive effect on the course of the disease; however, personality and environmental factors should be taken into account to individually adjust and support the usage of WDs. Furthermore, the application of WDs should be integrated into a structured training program accompanied by healthcare professionals. For this purpose, funding and time-oriented framework conditions should be established.
