Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The information collected in the interviews will be qualitatively evaluated to generate new hypotheses and formulate recommendations for improving the use of digital mental health interventions (DMHIs), to optimize care for people with severe mental illness(es) (SMI). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| To answer the following research questions based on a qualitative and quantitative analysis of the collected data: How well informed are patients with SMI about DMHIs? Which digital tools do SMI patients already use in their everyday lives? What (possible) benefits do SMI patients see in the use of DMHIs/what benefits would they expect? What (possible) risks and difficulties do SMI patients see in the use of DMHIs? What is the general use of (modern) technologies/affinity for technology amongst patients with SMI? How satisfied are SMI patients with the current support provided by the healthcare system and what kind of additional (digital) support do they need? What is the general attitude of SMI patients towards the possible use of digital applications that can be controlled directly via voice? | — |
