Project overview:
Digital health platforms can improve care and support self-management, but only if they actually work and if people make use of them. The Neuro Online study aims to better understand how the online platform My Medical Record can be used to support and improve care for people with long-term neurological conditions.
The Neuro Online study will use surveys and My Medical Record system data to better understand how and why people use the Neuro section of My Medical Record
We will also ask patients and carers about their well-being and their patient activation measure so that we can compare their experiences with the platform to this information.
As online platforms are increasingly being developed for the NHS, we hope the study will help understand how to make them relevant, useful and appealing to use. The findings should help to optimise the design and usefulness of these online tools, with the aim of supporting and improving the delivery of care
