| Abstract (ENG): |
Cardiovascular disease is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Scarce resources and rising costs are pushing healthcare systems to their limits. There is an urgency to develop, optimize and evaluate technologies that provide more effective care for patients. Modern technologies, such as mobile health (mHealth) applications, can provide relief as a key strategy. To integrate digital interventions into care structures, a detailed impact assessment of all professional mHealth applications is needed. The aim of this study is to analyze the standardized tools used in the field of cardiovascular disease. The results show that questionnaires, usage logs, and key indicators are predominantly used. Although the identified mHealth interventions are specific to cardiovascular disease and thus require particular questions to evaluate apps, the user readiness, usability, or quality of life criteria are non-specific. Therefore, the results contribute to understanding how different mHealth interventions can be assessed, categorized, evaluated, and accepted. |
