Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases constitute an alarming crisis for health care worldwide. Technology-based self-management support is proposed as a potential solution. However, both the problem and the solution are complex, dynamic, and are influenced by a combination of multiple factors. This project aims to outline a holistic, theory-based, and cross-cultural approach for the development of eHealth interventions supporting self-management of cardiovascular diseases. The project has resulted in a review of multidisciplinary frameworks, theories, and models. However, questions remain regarding the key factors for tailoring interventions to cross-cultural contexts, and how to facilitate this knowledge for intervention designers.
