Qualitative Assessment of a Medical Protocols Mobile Application at the Boston Marathon 2016.
Clinical Journal of Sport Medicine 2018 December 25
OBJECTIVE: To examine the creation of a medical protocols mobile application for the Boston Marathon and its use by medical volunteers for the 2016 Boston Marathon.
DESIGN: Anonymous questionnaire.
SETTING: 2016 Boston Marathon.
PARTICIPANTS: Two hundred ninety-four marathon medical volunteers.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Responses regarding ease of use, acceptability, and usefulness of the International Institute of Race Medicine mobile application.
RESULTS: In total, 88% of medical volunteers who participated in the study felt that the medical protocols mobile application was easy to use. Approximately 72% would use the app again, and 79% would recommend the app to others. However, only 15% of volunteers consistently used the app during the event, and 37% felt like it contributed to clinical decision-making.
CONCLUSIONS: A medical protocols app was found to be useful and well accepted among medical volunteers who reported using the app, but only a minority of respondents used the app on marathon day or felt like it contributed to clinical care. Although new, mobile apps in race medicine should continue to be an area of development as providers increasingly integrate their use into clinical practice.
