Evaluation of the usability and acceptability of the P-STEP® mobile app: feasibility study protocol.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The new P-STEP® (Personalised Space Technology Exercise Platform) app is designed to bring together tailored exercise guidance and up-to-date air quality information. The app allows individuals to plan outdoor exercise walking routes while minimising their exposure to air pollution. Individuals with chronic long-term conditions, particularly respiratory and cardiovascular conditions, can use the app in order to minimise the risk of their symptoms being exacerbated by pollution, while still gaining the benefits of outdoor exercise.

Methods

This study will measure the usability and acceptability of the P-STEP® app. The study will take the form of a single-arm 12-week app pilot study based in Leicestershire, United Kingdom (UK). We will recruit a maximum of 380 parti
