Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate usability, user experience and user acceptance of the Swiss \u201cMS Active App\u201d in an Austrian setting, and to identify transferable requirements and design implications. Methods: Nine people with MS used the MS Active App for one week as part of their individual physiotherapy and occupational therapy. Data collection included standardised questionnaires, a user diary, qualitative interviews with patients, and focus group discussions with therapists. Results: People with MS and their therapists rated the usability, user experience and user acceptance of the app as overall good. Qualitative accounts included a number of specific suggested improvements from which transferable requirements and design implications may be derived. Conclusion: The MS Active App offers a potentially suitable mHealth solution for people with MS in Austria, but several suggested improvements should be considered prior to implementation in practice.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/shti250151","type":"book-chapter","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T09:29:00Z","timestamp":1745486940000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mobile Health Technology in Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy for People with Multiple Sclerosis: An Exploratory Field Study"],"prefix":"10.3233","author":[{"given":"Stefan Tino","family":"Kulnik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Belinda","family":"B\u00f6hm","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Health Sciences, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Puch\/Urstein, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Isabel","family":"H\u00f6ppchen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Antonia","family":"Lindner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Health Sciences, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Puch\/Urstein, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Seiringer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department Health Sciences, Salzburg University of Applied Sciences, Puch\/Urstein, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Daniela","family":"Wurhofer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Ludwig Boltzmann Institute for Digital Health and Prevention, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ferdinand","family":"Otto","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Christian Doppler Klinik, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria"},{"name":"Department of Neurology, University Hospital Z\u00fcrich, Z\u00fcrich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Wipfler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurology, Christian Doppler Klinik, Paracelsus Medical University, Salzburg, Austria"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7437","container-title":["Studies in Health Technology and Informatics","dHealth 2025"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/pdf\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI250151","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T09:29:00Z","timestamp":1745486940000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/ebooks.iospress.nl\/doi\/10.3233\/SHTI250151"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]},"ISBN":["9781643685922"],"references-count":0,"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3233\/shti250151","relation":{},"ISSN":["0926-9630","1879-8365"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0926-9630","type":"print"},{"value":"1879-8365","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]]}}}
