Area of Science:

  • Digital Health
  • Health Informatics
  • Patient-Centered Care

Background:

  • Post-viral fibromyalgia-like symptoms are increasingly reported, particularly after SARS-CoV-2 infection.
  • Approximately 30% of patients with post-COVID-19 syndrome meet fibromyalgia criteria.
  • Effective self-management of these complex conditions remains a challenge for patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a patient-centered digital health app for managing postviral fibromyalgia-like symptoms.
  • To enhance patient engagement and adherence through app design informed by patient preferences.
  • To improve self-management practices and quality of life for affected individuals.

Main Methods:

  • An exploratory study design was employed.
  • Patient preference surveys and usability testing were used to guide app development.
  • Iterative development incorporated patient expectations for design, content, and usability.

Main Results:

  • Patient feedback indicated a preference for symptom lists over chatbots.
  • Patients desired reporting capabilities for a moderate range of symptoms and activities.
  • Usability testing highlighted the importance of an intuitive onboarding process and confirmed the value of patient-centered design.

Conclusions:

  • Patient feedback was integral to the digital health app's development.
  • Usability testing revealed challenges in user onboarding, emphasizing its importance for adoption.
  • Further research is recommended to optimize onboarding and enhance patient engagement with digital health tools.
