Full description
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the world's most common neurologic disorders of the young adults leading to severe disability. Fatigue is one of most common symptoms that persons with MS experience, having significant impact on their quality of life and limiting their activity levels. Self-management strategies are used to support them in the care of their health. Mobile health (mHealth) solutions are a way to offer persons with chronic conditions tools to successfully manage their symptoms and problems. User-centered design (UCD) is a design philosophy that proposes placing end-users' needs and characteristics in the center of software design and development and involving users early in the different phases of the software life cycle. More Stamina is an mHealth solution created following UCD principles to help persons with MS manage their fatigue.
A mixed methods multicenter study will be used to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of More Stamina. The study will take place during the first and second quarters of 2020 (Q3-Q4 2020) in three locations: Argentina, Spain and Switzerland. A longitudinal cohort study will take place, along with think-aloud protocols, open-ended interviews and short answer questionnaires will be used. Persons with MS will be recruited from the different locations. This study seeks to enroll at least 20 patients that meet the criteria from each site for the longitudinal cohort study (total N=60).
