This research investigates the needs and preferences of low-income angioplasty patients and their caregivers in India during post-angioplasty recovery. Through in-depth interviews and contextual inquiries, the study uncovers critical informational, physical, and emotional needs. Patients often lack access to reliable health information, leading to misconceptions about care and medication adherence. Pain management and emotional support are significant concerns for both patients and caregivers. The study proposes the integration of digital health solutions to address these challenges, providing a platform for reliable information, communication, and support. This research emphasizes the need for context-sensitive interventions to improve patient outcomes and enhance the quality of life for vulnerable populations in developing countries.
