Health information technologies (HIT) imply allocated time, appropriate training, and new types of responsibility, whose physical and mental impact on health care professionals (HCPs) has emerged as an important issue. The present review provides updated data and opinions about such potential impact and discusses the relevance of programs established to better characterize barriers and facilitators of HIT implementation. The extent of internet-based health care information and digital apps imposes new responsibilities on HCPs in helping patients select reliable sources and incorporate them in the understanding and self-management of the disease. Several reviews also identified exhaustion, depersonalization, workload, over-alerting, poor work-life integration, and job unsatisfaction as potential drivers of electronic health record (EHR)-associated clinician burnout and HIT unacceptability. Paradoxically, the increasing use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the decision-making process may in turn introduce an additional layer of complexity due to required specific skills and associated cognitive overload and stress. Regarding EHRs, various approaches like more proportionate use, better adequation of available commercial tools, or multidisciplinary workflows within the clinic and building of new specialty-specific tools are expected to reduce clinician burden. Studies that focused on EHR paved the way for further multidisciplinary projects designed to define the factors and dimensions impacting overall digital environment including AI, and to identify relevant ways of optimizing its acceptability by HCPs. The way of preventing and alleviating the adverse effects of digital health is a major challenge that all HIT stakeholders should be aware of.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2196\/72184","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,7,29]],"date-time":"2025-07-29T14:30:31Z","timestamp":1753799431000},"page":"e72184-e72184","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Acceptability of Health Information Technology by Health Care Professionals: Where We Are Now and How We Can Fill the Gap"],"prefix":"10.2196","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1048-6636","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Corinne","family":"Isnard-Bagnis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4226-7956","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"St\u00e9phane","family":"Mouchabac","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-2340-6480","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Riadh","family":"Lebib","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0001-5807-0226","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Herv\u00e9","family":"Bismut","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9121-209X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Pierre Alexis","family":"Geoffroy","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1010","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,12,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/europace\/euaa269","article-title":"Mobile health applications for managing atrial fibrillation for healthcare professionals and patients: a systematic review","author":"Lane","journal-title":"Europace"},{"key":"R2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3233\/SHTI230783","article-title":"Use of a data-sharing system during diabetes consultations","volume":"309","author":"Bradway","journal-title":"Stud Health Technol Inform"},{"issue":"11","key":"R3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2196\/30495","article-title":"Patients\u2019 use of mobile health for self-management of knee osteoarthritis: results of a 6-week pilot study","volume":"5","author":"Shewchuk","journal-title":"JMIR Form Res"},{"issue":"3","key":"R4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e200","DOI":"10.1016\/S2589-7500(21)00292-2","article-title":"Advancing digital health applications: priorities for innovation in real-world evidence generation","volume":"4","author":"Stern","journal-title":"Lancet Digit Health"},{"issue":"2","key":"R5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"133","DOI":"10.6004\/jnccn.2019.7354","article-title":"Randomized trial of a smartphone mobile app to improve symptoms and adherence to oral therapy for cancer","volume":"18","author":"Greer","journal-title":"J Natl Compr Canc Netw"},{"issue":"4","key":"R6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e561","DOI":"10.1093\/oncolo\/oyad289","article-title":"Feasibility and user experience of digital patient monitoring for real-world patients with lung or breast cancer","volume":"29","author":"Arriola","journal-title":"Oncologist"},{"issue":"1","key":"R7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"60","DOI":"10.1093\/ehjdh\/ztab023","article-title":"Towards a digital health future","volume":"2","author":"Bond","journal-title":"Eur Heart J Digit Health"},{"key":"R8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/20552076221076927","article-title":"COVID-19 infodemic and digital health literacy in vulnerable populations: a scoping review","volume":"8","author":"Choukou","journal-title":"Digit Health"},{"issue":"1","key":"R9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"109","DOI":"10.1016\/j.mayocpiqo.2020.12.004","article-title":"Digital health surveillance strategies for management of coronavirus disease 2019","volume":"5","author":"Jose","journal-title":"Mayo Clin Proc Innov Qual Outcomes"},{"issue":"6","key":"R10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e383","DOI":"10.1016\/S2589-7500(21)00005-4","article-title":"Health information technology and digital innovation for national learning health and care systems","volume":"3","author":"Sheikh","journal-title":"Lancet Digit Health"},{"key":"R11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/2055207619898984","article-title":"WHO guidance for digital health: what it means for researchers","volume":"6","author":"Jandoo","journal-title":"Digit Health"},{"key":"R12","unstructured":"Strategy on reducing regulatory and administrative burden relating to the use of health IT and ehrs.
