A mixed-methods examination of the acceptability of, CareMOBI, a dementia-focused mhealth app, among primary care providers.

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
Background: CareMOBI (mhealth for Organization to Bolster Interconnectedness) is a user-centered mobile application that supports secure communication between adult day health centers, primary care providers, and family caregivers. The aim of this study was to examine the acceptability of CareMOBI in the primary care setting and identify factors contributing to the likelihood of adoption among primary care providers. Methods: We used a mixed-methods concurrent triangulation design. We, first, collected quantitative data using the Technology Acceptance Model questionnaire. Follow-up interview questions allowed participants to elaborate on their experience interacting with CareMOBI. We developed an informational matrix based on major themes within the Technology Acceptance Model (ease of use, value in clinical care, fit within existing workflows, and likelihood of adoption) in which qualitative data were embedded and compared. Results: Our sample included 10 primary care providers. Participants rated CareMOBI high in ease of use ( Conclusion: Providers found CareMOBI valuable and easy to use, and there was a high likelihood of eventual adoption. However, apprehensions regarding workflow and electronic health records integration arose, which the team will have to consider as they move forward to the next phase of the application's development.
