Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary outcome of the study is the patients’ subjective experience associated with the use of the digital demonstrator during waiting time in the emergency department. Specifically, the following aspects are assessed: Self-reflection on one’s own health status (based on TSRI), and perceived patient empowerment during waiting time (PEN-13). Data collection takes place during the quantitative evaluation phase (study phase 3). | — |
