There are many technologies for engaging patients in their own care, but according to a survey of members of the NEJM Catalyst Insights Council, patient portals are not viewed as the most effective technology for patient engagement initiatives.
NEJM Catalyst is part of the NEJM Group that produces The New England Journal of Medicine.
The survey of close to 600 NEJM Catalyst Insights Council members, which includes healthcare executives, clinician leaders and clinicians, revealed that biometric measurement devices, such as wireless scales and glucometers, are viewed as the most effective, chosen by 85 percent of respondents.
