Table 1 Description of the feedback categories included in the participant feedback survey

Purpose

The investigator group was interested to know whether participants felt the eDosette was able to support participants in managing their medications based on their experience in the 2-week study.

Implementation and usability

The investigator group was interested to know how easy it was for community-based seniors to learn and use the eDosette successfully. In this context, understanding whether the initial meeting and education provided by the RA was sufficient to allow the participant to use the eDosette for the study.

Impact on daily routine

The investigator group was interested to understand the perceived impact of the eDosette on the participants’ lives and roles as patients with respect to medication management.

Acceptability for future use

The investigator group was interested to know whether participants would use the eDosette in the future, outside of the research context. Specifically, understanding whether the technology was a barrier to future acceptability and future use was of interest.

Personal opinion

The investigator group was interested in gaining the personal opinion of participants especially in their perception of whether the eDosette would negatively impact their therapeutic relationship with their healthcare team. Furthermore, the participants were asked to express their satisfaction with the device overall.

Additional personal opinions and feedback were elicited during the exit interview with the RA.

Patient enablement

Patient enablement includes confidence and self-efficacy. For the sake of this study, the investigator group was particularly interested in whether the eDosette could result in increased confidence in medication management in our participants.
