Abstract

Purpose : To assess the proficiency of using mobile devices among study participants with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD).

Methods : This was an open, nonrandomized, multisite app feasibility study conducted in 105 participants (nAMD [n=57; without questionnaire data from one patient] and diabetic macular edema [n=48]) at 5 clinical centers in the US. At screening, participants completed a Mobile Device Proficiency Questionnaire-16 (MDPQ-16 from Roque and Boot, 2018), which evaluated mobile proficiency in certain tasks commonly performed with mobile devices.

Results : From the final results based on 56 participants with nAMD (mean age (SD), 73.6 (9.13) years; females, 28 (50.0%)), the mean total score (SD) for the MDPQ-16 was 31.2 (8.46) out of 40. The highest subscale score (4.6 out of 5) was recorded for knowledge of basic mobile device skills (navigation, keyboard), while the lowest subscale score (3.1 out of 5) was recorded for data transferring and storing skills (Table).

Conclusions : These results show less mobile proficiency in this patient population as compared to what was previously reported with young adults (average proficiency score: 38.4, n=39, 18-29 years old), and also highlight specific areas that need attention, while developing Digital Health Technologies for nAMD patients.

This abstract was presented at the 2023 ARVO Annual Meeting, held in New Orleans, LA, April 23-27, 2023.
