Patient-Clinician Co-Design Co-Participation in Design of an App for Rheumatoid Arthritis Management via Telehealth Yields an App with High Usability and Acceptance.

People with chronic conditions like rheumatoid arthritis (RA) self-manage on a day to day basis. They may be able to assess disease activity and communicate this via an app to their healthcare team to enable clinical review for medical management at the most appropriate times. This work describes the succesful co-design of a patient-held app for monitoring and communication of RA disease activity.
