Designing remote patient and family centred interventions: an exploratory approach

Abstract

This research explores the dynamic nature of family involvement in remote patient management for cardiovascular disease and its impact on lifestyle behaviour changes. Through an interview study with patients and family members, we categorise family involvement into three types: Inform, Integrate, and Influence, highlighting the dynamic and heterogeneous nature of family involvement across different phases and activities. Overall, we emphasise the need for personalised and adaptable interventions to cater to the diversity of families and propose a modular approach to remote monitoring design.
