E-IMMUNE Co-Design study

A key part of the design of our digital application is understanding what people using it want to see.  We need to collect this information from the people that will use it.  To do this we will bring together patients, clinical staff and the digital application developer.  We will use interviews and focus groups to explore users’ thoughts on using digital health approaches.  We would like to hear their concerns and to understand any issues related to accessing the technology and potential impact on treatment pathways. The information collected from this initial work will be used to help us co-design our digital application, which will then be used in a feasibility/optimisation study in patients, before going on to a subsequent randomised clinical trial. 

The E-IMMUNE Co-Design study protocol is ready for submission to the Research Ethics Committee.  Once it has been approved, we will begin to recruit patients and healthcare professionals in Leeds and Sheffield to this study.
