Patients’ Expectations for App-Based Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis: User-Centered Design Approach

Patients’ Expectations for App-Based Therapy in Knee Osteoarthritis: User-Centered Design Approach

Studies advocate a co-design approach involving end users in developing, testing, and refining interventions to improve patient satisfaction and app effectiveness [28-31]. This study investigated the user-centered app design process with patients with KOA to develop a more effective app-based therapy. This study addresses a critical gap in the co-design process for developing a KOA mobile app by using a mixed methods approach within the context of an underresourced health care system, such as Slovenia.

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

Integrating a Mobile App to Enhance Atrial Fibrillation Care: Key Insights From an Implementation Study Guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research

Patients found the app easy to download, sign up for, and navigate. Although there was agreement on the benefits of lifestyle modification for patients with cardiac diseases more broadly, differing opinions about the effectiveness of a 12-week cardiac rehabilitation plan specifically for atrial fibrillation among clinicians were apparent. Before we even got the app and when we started interacting with [app developers] to build it [the app], I wondered how it would fit, to be honest.
