User-Centered Design of a Mobile Health Intervention to Enhance Exacerbation-Related Self-Management in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (Copilot): Mixed Methods Study (Preprint)
Abstract:BACKGROUND
Adequate self-management skills are of great importance for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) to reduce the impact of COPD exacerbations. Using mobile health (mHealth) to support exacerbation-related self-management could be promising in engaging patients in their own health and changing health behaviors. However, there is limited knowledge on how to design mHealth interventions that are effective, meet the needs of end users, and are perceived as use… Show more
“…The use of co-design approaches to develop interventions is not new, yet how to combine these with evidence-based and theory-based approaches is not clear. Some recent papers on digital intervention development do describe step-by-step methodologies that integrate these approaches, which appear planned and well-knitted together [Curtis et al 2015, Korpershoek et al 2020, O'Brien et al 2016. However what is missing is an account of the contradictions and difficulties experienced in bringing together user-led and theory-and evidence-based approaches in practice.…”
