Experimental Treatment
Group I: Determine the impact of CardioCare Quest's telehealth interventionsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This project will employ a mixed methods approach, combining quantitative and qualitative data collection methods within quarters 4 to 8. The quantitative method includes using the Motivation, Engagement, and Thriving in User Experience (METUX), health measures (i.e., blood pressure measurements), and telemetry to assess user engagement, adherence rates, and health outcomes in CardioCare Quest. The qualitative method will be used to identify key constructs such as motivation, engagement, and overall well-being and choose relevant metrics for each construct, including surveys for motivation, thematic analysis of quotes for engagement, and experience sampling for well-being.
