Abstract

Background: Smartphone apps can be used to monitor chronic conditions and offer opportunities for self-assessment conveniently at home. However, few digital studies include older adults.

Objective: We aim to describe a new electronic cohort of older adults embedded in the Framingham Heart Study including baseline smartphone survey return rates and survey completion rates by smartphone type (iPhone [Apple Inc] and Android [Google LLC] users). We also aim to report survey results for selected baseline surveys and participant experience with this study's app.

Methods: Framingham Heart Study Offspring and Omni (multiethnic cohort) participants who owned a smartphone were invited to download this study's app that contained a range of survey types to report on different aspects of health including self-reported measures from the Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS). iPhone users also completed 4 tasks including 2 cognitive and 2 physical function testing tasks. Baseline survey return and completion rates were calculated for 12 surveys and compared between iPhone and Android users. We calculated standardized scores for the PROMIS surveys. The Mobile App Rating Scale (MARS) was deployed 30 days after enrollment to obtain participant feedback on app functionality and aesthetics.

Results: We enrolled 611 smartphone users (average age 73.6, SD 6.3 y; n=346, 56.6% women; n=88, 14.4% Omni participants; 478, 78.2% iPhone users) and 596 (97.5%) returned at least 1 baseline survey. iPhone users had higher app survey return rates than Android users for each survey (range 85.5% to 98.3% vs 73.8% to 95.2%, respectively), but survey completion rates did not differ in the 2 smartphone groups. The return rate for the 4 iPhone tasks ranged from 80.9% (380/470) for the gait task to 88.9% (418/470) for the Trail Making Test task. The Electronic Framingham Heart Study participants had better standardized t scores in 6 of 7 PROMIS surveys compared to the general population mean (t score=50) including higher cognitive function (n=55.6) and lower fatigue (n=45.5). Among 469 participants who returned the MARS survey, app functionality and aesthetics was rated high (total MARS score=8.6 on a 1-10 scale).

Conclusions: We effectively engaged community-dwelling older adults to use a smartphone app designed to collect health information relevant to older adults. High app survey return rates and very high app survey completion rates were observed along with high participant rating of this study's app.

电子Framingham心脏研究后代和Omni 1研究的基线智能手机应用程序调查结果:eCohort研究。
背景:智能手机应用程序可以用来监测慢性疾病,并提供在家方便的自我评估机会。然而,很少有数字研究包括老年人。目的:我们旨在描述Framingham心脏研究中嵌入的一个新的老年人电子队列,包括智能手机类型(iPhone [Apple Inc .]和Android [b谷歌LLC]用户)的基线智能手机调查回复率和调查完成率。我们还旨在报告选定基线调查的调查结果和本研究应用程序的参与者体验。方法:邀请拥有智能手机的弗雷明汉心脏研究后代和Omni(多种族队列)参与者下载本研究的应用程序,该应用程序包含一系列调查类型,以报告健康的不同方面,包括来自患者报告结果测量信息系统(PROMIS)的自我报告测量。iPhone用户还完成了4项测试,包括2项认知测试和2项身体功能测试。我们计算了12项调查的基线调查返回率和完成率,并对iPhone和Android用户进行了比较。我们计算了PROMIS调查的标准化分数。手机应用评分量表(MARS)在注册后30天部署,以获得参与者对应用功能和美观的反馈。结果:我们招募了611名智能手机用户(平均年龄73.6岁,SD 6.3 y;N =346,女性56.6%;n=88, 14.4% Omni参与者;478人(78.2%的iPhone用户)和596人(97.5%)至少进行了一次基线调查。iPhone用户的应用调查回复率高于Android用户(分别为85.5% - 98.3%和73.8% - 95.2%),但两个智能手机群体的调查完成率并无差异。4个iPhone任务的回报率从步态任务的80.9%(380/470)到造径测试任务的88.9%(418/470)不等。电子弗雷明汉心脏研究参与者在7项PROMIS调查中有6项的标准化t得分高于一般人群平均水平(t得分=50),包括更高的认知功能(n=55.6)和更低的疲劳(n=45.5)。在469名返回MARS调查的参与者中,应用程序的功能和美观性得到了很高的评价(MARS总分为8.6分,满分为1-10分)。结论:我们有效地吸引了社区居住的老年人使用智能手机应用程序,该应用程序旨在收集与老年人相关的健康信息。我们观察到高应用调查回复率和非常高的应用调查完成率,以及该研究应用的高参与者评分。
