A "No-Code" App Design Platform for Mobile Health Research: Development and Usability Study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

A challenge facing researchers conducting mobile health (mHealth) research is the amount of resources required to develop mobile apps. This can be a barrier to generating relevant knowledge in a timely manner. The recent rise of "no-code" software development platforms may overcome this challenge and enable researchers to decrease the cost and time required to develop mHealth research apps.

Objective

We aimed to describe the development process and the lessons learned to build Pathverse, a no-code mHealth app design platform.

Methods

The study took place between November 2019 and December 2021. We used a participatory research framework to develop the mHealth app design platform. In phase 1, we worked with researchers to gather key platform feature requirem
