Purpose.
The purpose of this study is to assess the frequency of use of information and communication technologies and patterns of preference among Ecuadorian patients with diabetes.
Methods.
We conducted an anonymous cross-sectional survey on type 2 diabetes mellitus.
A chi-square test for association and adjusted regression analyses were performed.
Results.
248 patients were enrolled, with a mean sample age of 57.7 years.
SMS was the most used ICT (66.0%).
The Internet was used by 45.2% of patients to obtain information about diabetes.
SMS and email were rated as the most useful ICTs for receiving information (64.5% and 28.1%, resp.) and asking physicians about diabetes (63.8% and 26.1%, resp.).
Patients were also interested in receiving disease information (82.4%) and asking physicians about diabetes (84.7%) through WhatsApp.
Adjusted logistic regressions revealed that individuals aged 55 years or younger, those with superior degree level, and those with long diabetes history preferred email for receiving information and asking physicians about diabetes compared to those above 55 years, those with low education level, and those with short diabetes history, respectively.
Conclusion.
Understanding preferences of ICTs among patients with diabetes could facilitate application development targeted towards specific requirements from patients.
