Development and implementation of a digital health intervention in routine care for long COVID patients: a comprehensive synopsis, 2025, Goodfellow+

As a pwME, an app is better than an appointment. However, an app isn’t good. Me having to look at a screen, answer questions, fill out info daily, isn’t good.
What would be good would be devices doing the monitoring and a clinician using and interpreting the data to help me.

I didn’t find my way to my conclusion.

If you were doing a project - let’s say a science fair for high school kids, and you gave them a brief to design something to log and monitor and create data for pwME, I guarantee no one of the kids would come up with a self-reporting measure. That’s how very obvious it is.

Let me ask this. Do people think here is any place for digital services or apps in healthcare?

For research, yes. They are an ideal tool to reach out and streamline data input.

Otherwise, no. I haven't seen a single app that couldn't be better replaced with a single page website.
