Table 1.
Distribution and coding of focus group (FGD) participants (n = 22, care-providers = 15).
Table 2.
Demographic characteristics of participants & clinical profile of patients of SMI: (n = 88).
Table 3.
Mobile technology usage of patients and caregivers of SMI: (n = 88).
Table 4.
Usage and attitude towards mobile based health technologies in caregivers of SMI: (n = 88).
Table 5.
Iterative inductive thematic analysis of three FGDs resulted in eight major themes.
The table presents the themes, each supported by an example quote from the data set. To present our inferences in the findings section, we further group these themes into three categories: (1) scope of mobile apps in improving patient-care; (2) scope of mobile apps in empowering caregivers; and (3) caregivers’ apprehensions about using mobile based apps for healthcare.
