Health Care Professionals� Attitudes Toward, and Experiences of Using, a Culture-Sensitive Smartphone App for Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus: Qualitative Study (Preprint)

Abstract

Background: The increase in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) provides new challenges for health professionals. Health professionals can find it challenging to provide information about the management of GDM to women with different ethnic backgrounds. mHealth may constitute a useful tool for blood sugar control and the care process. However, little is known about health professionals' experiences and attitudes towards the use of mHealth for women with GDM.
