User-Centered Design for Promoting Patient Engagement in Chronic Diseases Management: The Development of CONCERTO.

Multimorbidity increases care needs among people with chronic diseases. In order to support communication between patients, their informal caregivers and their healthcare teams, we developed CONCERTO+, a patient portal for chronic disease management in primary care. A user-centered design comprising 3 iterations with patients and informal caregivers was performed. Clinicians were also invited to provide feedback on the feasibility of the solution. Several improvements were brought to CONCERTO+, and it is now ready to be implemented in real-life setting.
