Abstract

Shared decision making (SDM) is based on the clinical expertise of healthcare professionals and patients' preferences and values. Digital health services may offer new possibilities for patient-generated data e.g. in SDM. This study aimed to assess older adults' experiences of decision making in healthcare and attitudes toward digital health and social services. Data were collected via an online survey of 629 respondents. Results showed that digital services are considered beneficial, yet half of respondents needed guidance in their use. Many factors affect SDM and the perceived benefits of digital services. Based on our findings digital services are expected to provide guidance and individualised user experience. More research is needed to provide services with equitable access for people with special needs.
