However, to support patients over time, eHealth needs to blend in with their needs, treatment, and daily lives. Just as needs can differ between patients, needs can change within patients over time. To better adapt technology features to patients’ needs, it is necessary to account for these changes in needs and contexts of use. Objective This study aimed to identify and monitor patients’ needs for support from a web-based health management platform and how these needs change over time. It aimed to answer the following research questions: “How do novice and more advanced users experience an online health management platform?” “What user expectations support or hinder the adoption of an online health management platform, from a user perspective?” and “How does actual usage relate to user experiences and adoption?” Methods A mixed methods design was adopted. The first method involved 2 rounds of usability testing, followed by interviews, with 10 patients at 0 months (round 1) and 12 patients at 6 months (round 2). In the second method, log data were collected to describe the actual platform use. Results After starting cardiac rehabilitation, the platform was used frequently. The patients mentioned that they need to have an incentive, set goals, self-monitor their health data, and feel empowered by the platform. However, soon after the rehabilitation program stopped, use of the platform declined or patients even quit because of the lack of continued tailored or personalized advice. The reward system motivated them to log data, but most participants indicated that being healthy should be the main focus, not receiving gifts. A web-based platform is flexible, accessible, and does not have any obligations; however, it should be implemented as an addition to regular care. Conclusions Although use of the platform declined in the longer term, patients quitting the technology did not directly indicate that the technology was not functioning well or that patients no longer focused on achieving their values. The key to success should not be user adherence to a platform but adherence to healthy lifestyle habits. Therefore, the implementation of eHealth should include the transition to a stage where patients might no longer need support from a technology platform to be independently and sustainably adherent to their healthy lifestyle habits. This emphasizes the importance of conducting multi-iterative evaluations to continuously monitor whether and how patients’ needs and contexts of use change over time. Future research should focus on how this transition can be identified and monitored and how these insights can inform the design and implementation of the technology.","PeriodicalId":14706,"journal":{"name":"JMIR Cardio","volume":"7 ","pages":"e43781"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-03-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10131764/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9710119","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The study concluded with 819 survey responses and 33 semistructured interviews. Participants stated that they understood the meaning of high estimated heart age and self-reported at least some improvement in the understanding and confidence in understanding and controlling CVD risk. Negative emotional responses were provoked among users when estimated heart age did not equate to their previous risk perceptions. The limited information needed to complete it or the production of a result when physiological risk factor information was missing (ie, blood pressure and cholesterol level) led some users to question the credibility of the test. However, most participants who were interviewed mentioned that they would recommend or had already recommended the test to others, would use it again in the future, and would be more likely to take up the offer of a National Health Service Health Check and self-reported that they had made or intended to make changes to their health behavior or felt encouraged to continue to make changes to their health behavior.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>England's web-based HAT has engaged large number of people in their heart health.
