    Establishing Foundations on Both Sides of the Bridge: Exploring Contextual Barriers to Cardiac Rehabilitation Uptake to Inform Digital Health Technology Design

    Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is crucial for secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Yet, many patients with a clear indication of CR do not participate in such programs. To build a more nuanced foundation for developing digital health technologies supporting patients’ CR uptake, we explored the practiced CR referral process to identify context-specific barriers in Austria. We conducted a contextual inquiry including four observations in both out- and inpatient settings and 13 stakeholder interviews. The results indicate a lack of a defined referral process, limited intersectoral communication, doctors’ unawareness and knowledge gaps, and patients missing clear information about CR. Thus, digital health technologies that aim to support patient-centered cardiovascular care pathways should be designed for timely patient information and engagement, automated referral support, and enhanced intersectoral communication.

    Lessons Learned from Co-Designing with Cardiac Patients and Healthcare Professionals in the Acute Hospital Setting to Inform Future Health Technologies
    (Mensch und Computer 2024 - Workshopband, 2024) Höppchen, Isabel; Kulnik, Stefan Tino; Meschtscherjakov, Alexander; Wurhofer, Daniela
    Our work provides insights into how digital health technologies (DHTs) can support patient pathways in cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Therefore, we conducted three co-design workshops together with 17 participants who were cardiac patients and healthcare professionals. Paper prototyping activities were situated in the acute hospital setting to provide the physical context where patients’ CR journeys usually start. In this workshop contribution, we outline our co-design approach and lessons learned to inform and inspire further research about co-creating interactive systems for healthcare.
