Tracking Chronic Diseases via Mobile Health Applications: Which User Experience Aspects Are Key?

ABSTRACT: Background: A key barrier to realizing the full potential and long-term collection of patient-reported outcomes (PROs) is the limited understanding of user experience (UX) factors that influence sustained patient engagement with digital PRO tools. Most existing research focuses on disease-specific or country-specific solutions, leaving a gap in identifying shared UX determinants that could inform scalable, cross-disease European digital health frameworks. This fragmentation hinders interoperability and increases development costs by requiring separate tools for each context. This case study aims to address this gap by identifying key UX features that optimize PRO collection across diverse chronic conditions in Europe within the Health Outcomes Observatory project, enhancing continuo
