This protocol outlines the mixed methods study protocol for the usability testing of the platform.

Methods and analysis

We will seek user input to finalise the platform's design, which will then be deployed in a limited launch for beta testing. The beta version will be used as a recruitment tool for up to three studies with multiple UK sites. Usability data will be
