In the Clinical Expert Operating System\u2010Chest Pain Danderyd Study (CLEOS-CPDS), medical history data were entered by patients using tablets in an emergency department (ED). Since successful implementation of this technology depends on understanding patients\u2019 views and willingness to use it, we have studied these factors following patients\u2019 use of the CLEOS program.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Objective<\/jats:title>\n This study aimed to develop and use a questionnaire to investigate patients\u2019 attitudes, perceptions and skills related to using digital technology in health care in general, and specifically their experiences with the CLEOS program during their visit to an ED with a chief complaint of chest pain.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods<\/jats:title>\n The study included the development of a questionnaire, followed by a cross-sectional study. Questionnaire design and the technology acceptance model underpinned the development of the questionnaire. The think-aloud method was used to test the questionnaire. Adults who participated in the CLEOS-CPDS were invited consecutively to respond to the questionnaire. Descriptive and correlational analyses were performed.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n The refinement of the questionnaire included language revision, removal of similar items, and replacement of some response formats. The final questionnaire consisted of 16 items and one free text comment that assessed attitudes, perceptions, and skills related to the use of digital technology in health care in general and the specific experience of using self-reported history-taking by CLEOS. The majority of the 129 patients (mean age 56, SD=17.3 y) who answered the questionnaire found it easy to use digital technology in general (118\/129, 91%), that digital technology has a role when seeking health care (115\/129, 91%), and that patient-reported symptoms are helpful in making a diagnosis (83\/129, 65%). There were some concerns that the patient-physician interaction would be disrupted when using digital technology (48\/129, 38%). The overall experience of using CLEOS was positive and most felt confident in answering the questions on a tablet (118\/129, 91%). Older age was associated with less ease (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.001), confidence (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.001), and trust (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.002) when using digital technology, as well as less confidence in answering the questions in CLEOS (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n =.019). Moreover, older age was associated with more worry about the potential disruption of the patient-physician personal contact when using digital technology (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n <.001).\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n This study suggests strong approval of usefulness and trust in digital technology among patients with chest pain visiting a cardiology ED, but the concern for lack of personal contact should be acknowledged. End users found the CLEOS program to perform well but recommend some adjustments for future studies. The questionnaire responses provided some new insights on perceived usability of digital technology for health care delivery, and it appears relevant for future evaluations of CLEOS in other contexts.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.2196\/65568","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,11]],"date-time":"2025-04-11T15:05:06Z","timestamp":1744383906000},"page":"e65568-e65568","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Patient Perspectives on Digital Technology and Experiences of Computerized History-Taking for Chest Pain Management in the Emergency Department: CLEOS-CPDS Prospective Cohort Study"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"13","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3554-074X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kaisa","family":"Fritzell","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1507-4099","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Helge","family":"Brandberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2135-1294","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jonas","family":"Spaak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7144-8740","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sabine","family":"Koch","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7000-466X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carl Johan","family":"Sundberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7722-8148","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"David","family":"Zakim","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9909-4956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Thomas","family":"Kahan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4544-9798","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kay","family":"Sundberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,17]]},"reference":[{"issue":"3","key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1111\/joim.12509","article-title":"Development and significance of automated history-taking software for clinical medicine, clinical research and basic medical science","volume":"280","author":"Zakim","journal-title":"J Intern Med"},{"issue":"2","key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"68","DOI":"10.1016\/j.tips.2014.11.002","article-title":"Data collection as a barrier to personalized medicine","volume":"36","author":"Zakim","journal-title":"Trends Pharmacol Sci"},{"issue":"1","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"170","DOI":"10.1038\/ajg.2014.356","article-title":"Computer-generated vs. physician-documented history of present illness (HPI): results of a blinded comparison","volume":"110","author":"Almario","journal-title":"Am J Gastroenterol"},{"issue":"2","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"126","DOI":"10.7861\/futurehosp.5-2-126","article-title":"An evaluation of automated, internet-based psychiatric history taking","volume":"5","author":"Taylor","journal-title":"Future Healthc J"},{"issue":"4","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/25493","article-title":"Use of self-reported computerized medical history taking for acute chest pain in the emergency department - the clinical expert operating system chest pain danderyd study (CLEOS-CPDS): prospective cohort study","volume":"23","author":"Brandberg","journal-title":"J Med Internet Res"},{"issue":"7","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1529","DOI":"10.1093\/jamia\/ocae110","article-title":"Are medical history data fit for risk stratification of patients with chest pain in emergency care?
