EFFECTIVENESS OF DATA VISUALIZATION ON WEARABLE SENSOR DEVICES: A QUALITATIVE STUDY EXPLORING EXPERIENCES OF HEALTHCARE PROVIDERS
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: Assess Insight Hub dashboard’s effectiveness in visualizing data from Fitbit Charge 5 wearables to support healthcare workers regarding patient care and treatment. Materials and Methods: A qualitative study design with a purposive sampling approach was employed, using a structured, in-depth interview method to involve 15 healthcare workers. Results: Advantages of the Insight Hub included its user-friendly interface, data aggregation capabilities, and individual customization options. Healthcare professionals can effectively monitor patients' conditions and identify gaps in care. However, the Insight Hub had limitations regarding data loss, display, and connectivity issues. Conclusion: Insight Hub facilitates healthcare workers’ decision-making, optimizes workflow, and enhances communication. Further development of the Insight Hub and additional research are necessary to promote adoption in healthcare settings.
