Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the world's most common neurologic disorders of the young adults leading to severe disability. Fatigue is one of most common symptoms that persons with MS experience, having significant impact on their quality of life and limiting their activity levels. Self-management strategies are used to support them in the care of their health. Mobile health (mHealth) solutions are a way to offer persons with chronic conditions tools to successfully manage their symptoms and problems. User-centered design (UCD) is a design philosophy that proposes placing end-users' needs and characteristics in the center of software design and development and involving users early in the different phases of the software life cycle. More Stamina is an mHealth solution created following UCD principles to help persons with MS manage their fatigue.

A mixed methods study was used to assess the feasibility, acceptability, and usability of More Stamina. The study took place between January and March of 2023 in Finland. A longitudinal cohort study took take place, along with think-aloud protocols, open-ended interviews and short answer questionnaires. The study enrolled 20 persons with MS that met the criteria who utilized the More Stamina solution for 60 days.
