There was a strong intention to use a symptom monitoring app postdischarge among ACS patients. However, this intent decreased in patients older than 75 years. The survey identified barriers related to technology use, privacy/security, and the care delivery mode. Further research is warranted to determine if such intent translates into app use, and better symptom management and health care quality.
