Integrating Consumer-Grade Wearable Devices and Patient-Generated Health Data into Clinical Care: Perspectives from Healthcare Professionals at a Learning Health System.
Article in Journal of general internal medicine, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 5 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 increasing popularity of consumer-grade wearable (CGW) devices for everyday use has prompted discussions within learning healthcare systems (LHSs) about the integration of patient-generated health data (PGHD) into clinical workflow.
objectiveTo report findings from interviews with healthcare professionals (HCPs) about the potential role of CGWs and PGHD in clinical workflow, which in turn informed recommendations for health systems to consider when integrating PGHD from CGWs.
designMixed methods.
participantsClinical care providers and holistic/wellness providers with various training and expertise from the largest integrated health system in the USA (i.e., Veterans Health Administration). APPROACH: A purposive sample of 29 individuals who were knowledgeable informants were invited to complete a survey focused on CGW feasibility and usability of PGHD. Those who completed the survey were invited to participate in a semi-structured interview to elicit their perceptions of the barriers and facilitators for PGHD utilization. Survey data were analyzed descriptively and rapid qualitative analysis techniques were used to identify themes from interview data. KEY
resultsTwenty-one HCPs were included in this study. Quantitative and qualitative findings revealed significant interest in PGHD integration in clinical workflow and patient interactions. Clinical care providers focused on the value of PGHD as a complement to traditional clinical data, whereas holistic/wellness providers emphasized using CGWs and PGHD for behavioral change. Their interest levels were tempered by concerns about workload implications and apprehension about having to distill the vast amount of PGHD of varying validity into clinically actionable information.
conclusionsIntegrating CGWs and PGHD can enable an LHS to improve patient outcomes, particularly to promote health access and equity. Yet, concerns were raised regarding staffing and workload issues, data interpretation, expectations, access, privacy, and educational needs. Therefore, harnessing the benefits of CGWs will require investing in health systems' infrastructure to optimally integrate PGHD into clinical workflow.
