Abstract

Purpose: To analyze the results of an online survey conducted to develop a user-friendly respiratory disease management mobile application. Methodology: The questionnaires were conducted from July 26, 2018 to October 23, 2018 for 90 days. A total of 267 respondents were used for the analysis. Chi-square test, t-test, and multivariate logistic regression were used for statistical analysis. Findings: As a result of the analysis, preference for functions related to medical services was high in all ages and the odds of positive intention to use respiratory disease management application was 4.76 times higher than 40 years old compared with less than 40 years old. The group with more than one effort was found to be significantly higher than those who did not. Practical Implication: It is expected that the functions derived from the main results in this study will be helpful for the effective health management of patients with chronic respiratory disease.
