Conceptualizing smartphone use in outpatient wound assessment: patients' and caregivers' willingness to use technology.
The researchers surveyed a vulnerable patient population to evaluate smartphone capability and willingness to adopt this technology. Their survey demonstrated that an older patient cohort with significant comorbidity is able and willing to adopt a smartphone-based postoperative monitoring program.

Design considerations for post-acute care mHealth: patient perspectives.
The authors are developing an mHealth platform to engage patients in wound tracking to identify and manage surgical site infections (SSI) after hospital discharge. Their key design qualities include: meeting basic accessibility, usability and security needs; encouraging patient-centeredness; facilitating better, more predictable communication; and supporting personalized management by providers. In this article, they illustrated their application of these guiding design considerations and proposed a new framework for mHealth design based on illness duration and intensity.
