TH, LL, DD, CB, PP, MdK, AvV and SO declare that there is no conflict of interest with respect to the research, authorship, and/or publication of this article. DD is one of the founders of Luscii Healthtech B.V. which develops and distributes the telemonitoring app Thuismeten. However, as this study focuses on the empirical factors that explain (intention to) use telemonitoring apps, DD was involved in this study as a professor at the faculty of Management Sciences at the Open Universiteit rather than as founder of LUSCII Healthtech B.V. Findings were honestly presented and were not influenced by DD’s interference.
