The Digital Health for Heart Health – Priority Setting Partnership is identifying key questions about digital health in heart care. Join Survey 2 to help us prioritise them!
What is heart disease?
Heart disease is a collection of various conditions that impact heart function, such as coronary heart disease, irregular heart rhythms, heart failure, and valve problems. Digital health, which utilises technology to enhance healthcare, has the potential to transform heart disease care. However, there is still much to learn about its effectiveness in improving heart disease management.
What is the survey about?
To address this, patients, carers, family members, and healthcare professionals are collaborating to identify and prioritise crucial questions about digital health in heart care. This effort, supported by the James Lind Alliance, involves a UK-wide team working on the Digital Health for Heart Health Priority Setting Partnership (PSP) to determine the top 10 research priorities, ensuring that future advancements meet the needs of those most affected by heart disease.
In Survey 1, stakeholders shared what issues and questions were most important to them. We narrowed down these responses to create a list of priority research questions and are now asking you to rank your ‘Top 10.’ From here, we will seek funding to carry out research that will hopefully answer these questions.
If you are: a patient with a heart condition or heart disease, you care for someone who has a heart condition or heart disease, or a healthcare professional whose work involves those with heart conditions or heart disease, we would like to hear what current and future digital technology research priorities are most important to you. This is an opportunity to:
- Influence heart research priorities
- Have your voice heard, or be the voice of your patients
The survey is open until October 1st 2024. You can access here. Please take some time to fill it out and share it with those who may be interested. If you would like a paper copy, please contact the team at DigitalHeart@napier.ac.uk
