Cardiovascular disease is responsible for over 50% of deaths per year in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD). While digital health technologies and models of care have been touted as a solution to prevent cardiovascular disease, evidence shows that 9 in 10 Australians do not trust them. This presents one of the greatest challenges for the Australian healthcare system to manage this decade.
This program of research aims to investigate the constructs of digital health trust, confidence in digital cardiovascular prevention strategies, and to codesign targeted solutions to improve this for both people living with CKD and clinicians working with these populations.
This program of research aims to improving digital health trust and confidence to prevent cardiovascular disease in people living with CKD. This project will both quantify and qualify the constructs of digital health trust and confidence in cardiovascular prevention strategies through digital health; and identify the priorities and codesign solutions to improve digital health trust and confidence in cardiovascular prevention strategies through digital health.
As more and more health services adopt digital solutions, ensuring that patients and clinicians trust them and have confidence that engaging with them will lead to improved health is vital. This program will identify they ways that this can be achieved, which can transform cardiovascular prevention through greater adoption and access to digital health care for people with CKD.
