Objective: The growing prevalence of chronic conditions requiring changes in lifestyle and at-home self-management has increased interest in and need for supplementing clinic visits with data generated by patients outside the clinic. Patient-generated health data (PGHD) support the ability to diagnose and manage chronic conditions, to improve health outcomes, and have the potential to facilitate more "connected health" between patients and their care teams; however, health systems have been slow to adopt PGHD use in clinical care.
Materials And Methods: We surveyed current and potential users of PGHD to catalog how PGHD is integrated into clinical care at an academic health center.
