abstract = "Today, there are a number of applications that allow you to monitor physical activity
and health parameters or schedule a medical examination, and can also help you recognize a
health problem and react in time (1, 2). The aim of the present study was to assess the usage
of health applications (HApps, health-related mobile and/or web applications) among
citizens in Serbia.
The anonymous online questionnaire was distributed via social media in the spring of
2020. Data were processed using the IBM SPSS. 506 respondents participated in the
research, of which 155 were from the health profession. The majority of respondents were
female (73.9%), and the average age was 36.88 ± 11.22. About half of the respondents
(48.2%) have a university degree, and 74.9% are employed. Installed HApps on
phone/computer have 18.2% of respondents, with a statistically significant difference (p
<0.01) between health professionals (25.8%) and non-health (14.8%). The most commonly
used HApps among health professionals are those related to their professional work
(14.7%), followed by general health (3.8%) and specific diseases (1.9%). Non-health
professional respondents mostly used applications related to general health (5.4%), fitness
(2.0%) and the chosen doctor (1.4%). Only 0.6% of citizens used COVID-19 pandemic
applications. The importance of HApps is still not sufficiently recognized in Serbia. Given the
potential in controlling chronic diseases and other health conditions, especially among a
population with limited access to health care and health information, they should be more
integrated into the health system., Danas postoji niz aplikacija koje omogućavaju praćenje fizičke aktivnosti i
zdravstvenih parametara ili zakazivanje lekarskog pregleda, a mogu pomoći i u
prepoznavanju zdravstvenih problema obaveštavajući vas da reagujete na vreme (1, 2). Cilj
ove studije bio je da ispita upotrebu zdravstvenih aplikacija (HApps, mobilne i/ili web
aplikacije u vezi sa zdravljem) među građanima Srbije. Anonimni onlajn upitnik distribuiran
je putem društvenih mreža tokom proleća 2020. godine. Podaci su obrađeni korišćenjem
IBM SPSS. U istraživanju je učestvovalo 506 ispitanika, od kojih 155 iz zdravstvene struke.
Većina ispitanika su žene (73.9%), a prosečna starost bila je 36.88±11.22 godina. Oko
polovine ispitanika (48.2%) ima fakultetsko obrazovanje, a 74.9% je zaposleno. Instalirane
HApps na svom telefonu/računaru ima 18.2% ispitanika, sa statistički značajnom razlikom
(p<0.01) među ispitanicima iz zdravstvene struke (25.8%) i onih koji to nisu (14.8%).
Najkorišćenije HApps među ispitanicima zdravstvene struke su one koje se odnose na njihov
stručni rad (14.7%), opšte zdravlje (3.8%) i specifične bolesti (1.9%). Ispitanici koji nisu iz
zdravstvene struke najviše su koristili aplikacije koje se odnose na opšte zdravlje (5.4%),
fitnes (2.0%) i izabranog lekara (1.4%). Aplikacije u vezi sa COVID-19 pandemijom koristilo
je svega 0.6% građana. Značaj HApps još uvek nije dovoljno prepoznat u Srbiji. S obzirom na
potencijal u kontroli hroničnih bolesti i drugih zdravstvenih stanja, naročito među
populacijom sa ograničenim pristupom zdravstvenoj zaštiti i zdravstvenim informacijama,
trebalo bi ih više integrisati u zdravstveni sistem.",
