Assessing the digital health readiness questionnaire Japanese version: insights from cardiovascular patients in Japan.

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
Aims: The COVID-19 pandemic has raised patient awareness of their health and highlighted the importance of remote care. Smartphones and wearable devices are now becoming essential for managing cardiovascular disease. However, low digital health readiness among cardiology patients poses a significant challenge to the effective use of these technologies. This study evaluates digital health readiness and learning ability of Japanese cardiology patients using the Digital Health Readiness Questionnaire (DHRQ), while also assessing its reliability and validity. Methods and results: This multicentre observational study evaluated digital health readiness among patients with cardiovascular risk factors at St. Marianna University Hospital and Kawasaki Municipal Tama Hospital. The DHRQ was employed, and confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to validate the measurement model. A total of 210 questionnaires were distributed, with 208 included in the analysis. Internal consistency, measured by Cronbach's alpha, exceeded 0.7 across all factors. Model fit was evaluated with standardised root mean square residual = 0.038, root mean square error of approximation = 0.071, comparative fit index = 0.962, and Tucker-Lewis index = 0.955. Age, education, and smartphone/smartwatch ownership significantly predicted higher DHRQ scores. Older age correlated with lower scores ( Conclusion: The DHRQ proved to be valid in Japan, with education level significantly affecting scores. Improved digital health readiness is suggested to enhance patients' management of health information and communication with healthcare providers, and is expected to be linked to future healthcare systems.
