Patients overwhelmingly believe in partnership with their clinicians to improve health. A new survey shows people want to collaborate with their doctors and co-produce their clinical data.

As announced on e-patients.net blog, and according to a survey released by the Society for Participatory Medicine and conducted by ORC International,  patients/consumers express their thoughts about the value of sharing digital health data with their clinicians.

The main survey findings are as follows:

• 88% believe working with their providers as a partner will help with their health.
• 84% believe self-tracking with devices and apps, and sharing it with their health team, would help manage their health
• 77% believe it would help both of them – the provider and themselves
• 76% say they’d use an easy, accurate device
• 81% of those would be more likely to use one if it’s recommended by their provider
