“…The study run between September 2019 and March 2020. For both the intervention and the control group, sociodemographic data and digital literacy characteristics were collected at baseline, the Fantastic Questionnaire [19] and Elders Health Empowerment Scale (EHES) [20] were collected at baseline and at 3 months, and the patients' and professionals' satisfaction with and assessments of the usability of the Health Circuit prototype and the continuity of care were measured with the self-administered net promoter score (NPS) [21], the System Usability Scale (SUS) [22], and the Nijmegen Continuity Questionnaire [23], respectively. All data were collected face to face at the beginning and at the end of the study and was stored on the RedCap platform.…”

Background Digital health tools may facilitate the continuity of care. Enhancement of digital aid is imperative to prevent information gaps or redundancies, as well as to facilitate support of flexible care plans. Objective The study presents Health Circuit, an adaptive case management approach that empowers health care professionals and patients to implement personalized evidence-based interventions, thanks to dynamic communication channels and patient-centered service workflows; analyze the health care impact; and determine its usability and acceptability among health care professionals and patients. Methods From September 2019 to March 2020, the health impact, usability (measured with the system usability scale; SUS), and acceptability (measured with the net promoter score; NPS) of an initial prototype of Health Circuit were tested in a cluster randomized clinical pilot (n=100) in patients with high risk for hospitalization (study 1). From July 2020 to July 2021, a premarket pilot study of usability (with the SUS) and acceptability (with the NPS) was conducted among 104 high-risk patients undergoing prehabilitation before major surgery (study 2). Results In study 1, Health Circuit resulted in a reduction of emergency room visits (4/7, 13% vs 7/16, 44%), enhanced patients’ empowerment (P<.001) and showed good acceptability and usability scores (NPS: 31; SUS: 54/100). In study 2, the NPS was 40 and the SUS was 85/100. The acceptance rate was also high (mean score of 8.4/10). Conclusions Health Circuit showed potential for health care value generation and good acceptability and usability despite being a prototype system, prompting the need for testing a completed system in real-world scenarios.
