Abstract(s)
There 1 is an emerging consumer-driven demand for a more
personalised health system and, there is no question, the rapid
evolution of the mobile apps market became an important driver
for personalisation in the health field. The MAiThE (Mobile Apps
to improve ThErapy) project focuses on the deployment and study
of personalised mHealth apps to provide patients and carers with
self-management capabilities to help them feel empowered in
their ability to find strategies in a more informed and collaborative
way, and to optimise therapy outside the clinical context, with
remote support from health practitioners. The insight gathered
with the development and assessment of the apps tailored to the
end-users’ needs will result in a conceptual model to guide in the
development of future mHealth apps. The project will produce an
impact study based on thorough apps evaluations conducted on
the field with participants from different contexts.
