All viewpoints agree on three aspects: patients are responsible for taking and submitting accurate measurements, that nurses\u2019 roles are shifting, and that technology developers are accountable for device reliability while caregivers are responsible for data-usage in decision-making. Disagreements between viewpoints remain on four aspects: the extent of patients\u2019 responsibility regarding understanding measurements and alarming caregivers, changes in nurses\u2019 decision-making responsibilities, and how caregiving responsibilities are shared.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ambiguity about responsibilities create practical and ethical challenges, including increased workload for nurses, lack of overview among cardiologists, anxiety in patients, and inconsistent care delivery. Unrecognized or unaddressed differences in views about roles and responsibilities using telemonitoring can negatively affect patient care. Appropriate implementation and use of telemonitoring requires sound ethical prologue and dialogue, not only to sensitize stakeholders about differing interpretations of responsibility, but also to ensure a structured approach when implementing telemonitoring to support best care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/20552076261484036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,28]],"date-time":"2026-08-28T20:37:33Z","timestamp":1787949453000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["How telemonitoring impacts the responsibilities of patients and healthcare professionals in cardiology: A Q-methodology study"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Eva","family":"Meier","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health, Digital Health"},{"name":"Amsterdam Public Health, Personalized Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marieke A.
