Abstract

This article explores the concept of patient-generated health data (PGHD) and its potential to be used in clinical decision-making. PGHD is data created and recorded by patients outside of clinical settings, such as through wearable technology or mobile apps. While PGHD has the potential to provide valuable insights into patients' health and behaviour, little is known about the perspective of clinicians when facing with the decision whether to trust or distrust PGHD. 13 clinicians of various disciplines, including nurses and doctors were recruited using the snowball sampling method. Qualitative methods were used in this study to analyse the results. The results suggest that some aspects of Quality, Provenance and Risk are important to clinicians and that there is a need for guidance and governance to assist clinicians in this decision.
