Patient Experiences in Regenerative Therapy Clinical Trials: Insights on Effectiveness and Challenges
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rapid advancement of digital technologies in healthcare has led to an increased reliance on digital media for medical communication. However, little is known about how healthcare practitioners and patients use and understand these technologies, especially within the context of doctor-patient interactions. This study aims to address this gap by exploring the subjective experiences of both medical practitioners and patients using digital platforms for healthcare communication. Using a phenomenological approach, we examine how these technologies are adopted and integrated into healthcare practices, focusing on the lived experiences of users. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with healthcare practitioners and patients, which were analyzed thematically to uncover key themes regarding their experiences, challenges, and perceptions. The findings suggest that while digital media can enhance communication, significant barriers such as technological literacy and trust issues remain. These results provide a deeper understanding of the nuances of digital media adoption in healthcare settings and offer important implications for improving patient-practitioner digital interactions in the future.
