Adoption and Performance Assessment of Diabetes Risk Apps by Healthcare Providers in Nairobi, Kenya 2004
Abstract
This study examines the adoption rates of diabetes risk assessment apps by healthcare providers in Nairobi, Kenya, with a focus on understanding their performance outcomes. A mixed-methods approach was employed, including surveys of healthcare providers and qualitative interviews with selected participants. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and thematic analysis. Surveys revealed that 75% of healthcare providers had adopted at least one diabetes risk assessment app, while 60% reported positive performance outcomes in terms of improved patient engagement and risk identification. The findings suggest a moderate level of adoption among healthcare providers, with significant benefits observed in enhancing patient care through the use of these apps. Further research should explore the long-term efficacy and sustainability of diabetes risk assessment apps within the Nairobi healthcare system. diabetes risk assessment apps, healthcare providers, Nairobi, Kenya Treatment effect was estimated with $\text{logit}(p_i)=\beta_0+\beta^\top X_i$, and uncertainty reported using confidence-interval based inference.
