About this trial

This study aims to understand how people use a mobile app that helps them record their symptoms before going to the doctor. Patients use the app on a tablet or other digital device. The app guides patients through a series of structured questions tailored to their symptoms. The data collected is then transferred to the practice's electronic record and is available to the treating doctor before and during the consultation.

In this project, anonymized usage data will be analyzed to contribute to the further development of the tool and to provide valuable insights for health services research.
