Recommendations for Developing Support Tools With People Suffering From Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: Co-Design and Pilot Testing of a Mobile Health Prototype.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Gaps exist between developers, commissioners, and end users in terms of the perceived desirability of different features and functionalities of mobile apps. OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study was to co-design a prototype mobile app for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

The prototype was tested in a usability study applying the think aloud protocol with peopl
