Digital and mobile health (mHealth) technologies improve patient-provider communication and increase information accessibility. We assessed technology use, attitudes toward using mHealth technologies, and the proficiency in using mHealth technologies among individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). Cross-sectional survey with open text responses Chronic Renal Insufficiency Cohort Study participants who completed current use and interest in using mHealth technologies questionnaires, and the eHealth literacy Survey (eHEALS). Participant characteristics Technology use (internet/email/smartphone/mHealth applications [apps]), interest in future mHealth use, and proficiency in using digital and mHealth technologies, or eHealth literacy, determined by eHEALS score. Poisson regression and a qualitative content analysis of open-ended responses Study participants (N=932) had a mean age of 68 years, eGFR 54 ml/min/1.73m2, and 59% were male. Approximately 70% reported current use of internet/email/smartphones, and 35% used mHealth apps; only 27% had adequate eHealth literacy (eHEALS score ≥32). Participants <65 years (vs. ≥65), with more education, higher income, better cognition, and adequate health literacy reported more technology use, and greater interest in using technologies. Participants of white (vs. non-white) race reported more internet/email use, but less interest in future mHealth use. Younger age, higher annual income, and greater disease self-efficacy were associated with adequate eHealth literacy. Three themes regarding interest in using digital and mHealth technologies emerged: willingness, concerns, and barriers. Residual confounding, ascertainment bias Many individuals with CKD currently use the internet and smartphones, and are interested in using mHealth in the future, but few use mHealth apps or have adequate eHealth literacy. mHealth technologies present an opportunity to engage individuals with CKD, especially members of racial or ethnic minority groups since they reported greater interest in using mHealth technology, compared to the non-minority population. Further research is needed to identify strategies to overcome inadequate eHealth literacy. Mobile health (mHealth) technology improves patient-provider communication and increases access to information. We wanted to explore how extensively patients are using mHealth technology, what they think about using it, and how proficient they are using it. Our study focused on a group of 932 individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD). We found that 70% currently used internet/email/smartphones, and 35% used health-specific apps. Less than a third of our patients reported proficient use of mHealth technology. Individuals who were under 65, had more education, and higher income were more likely to use mHealth technology and had a greater interest in it. Black and Hispanic individuals had less technology use overall but were more interested in using mHealth technology. mHealth technology presents an opportunity to engage individuals with CKD.
