Description

Recent research studies demonstrate that patients want to use technology to increase their access to health care services. In 2013, nearly two trillion text messages were sent within the United States alone and numerous studies were published demonstrating the utility and efficacy of text messaging patients to help them manage their chronic conditions. In addition, several patients in a recent study reported using a mobile app to help manage a health issue.

This workshop discusses patients’ acceptability of technology-based SBIRT as well as highlights several studies that went on to demonstrate patients’ use of continuing support, tracking, and reminder features available especially with many of the text-based technologies.
