All of the six participants should have a diagnosed chronic medical condition, so that the participant group reflects the eventual 'target group' who will be using the apps in actual clinical trials and other studies. We are looking to have the six participants match the following profiles:
P1
Older adult, lower digital fluency
65+, native English, uses a smartphone only occasionally, reading glasses for near vision
P2
Experienced clinical trial participant
45–64, moderate digital fluency, has completed an eConsent & ePRO/eDiary in a previous clinical trial
P3
Digitally fluent younger adult
18–34, high digital fluency, heavy consumer-app user
P4
High-contrast / low-vision display user
Any age; routinely uses a high-contrast display setting
P5
Trial-naive patient
35–64, moderate fluency, never used an eCOA/eDiary and no prior trial experience
P6
Non-native English reader / lower health literacy
Any age; fluent enough to take part in English but not a native speaker, and/or self-reports lower confidence with medical forms
