Co-Design of a Digital Health Platform for Chronic Disease Management in Rural Settings Using a Person-Centered, Collaborative-Care Model: Protocol for a 3-Phase Mixed Methods Study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundChronic diseases represent a significant global burden, accounting for 85% of the total disease burden in Australia. This burden is particularly pronounced in rural areas, where chronic disease rates are higher, and access to health care services is more limited. Digital technology has the potential to address these disparities by overcoming challenges such as workforce shortages and geographic isolation.
objectiveOur objective is to develop a digital health platform (DHP) to support the monitoring and management of chronic disease in collaboration with rural and regional stakeholders, including researchers, health care providers, and patients. The platform is being designed to be flexible, enabling applications across a range of chronic health conditions relevant to rural contexts.
methodsGuided by implementation science methodologies, we are adopting an evidence-based approach to developing a DHP for chronic disease management. Informed by co-design frameworks and best-practice guidelines, our development plan comprises three key phases: (1) stakeholder needs analysis, (2) co-design and platform development, and (3) postdesign evaluation and testing. The Federation University Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC Ref: 2023/169) granted ethics approval for this study.
resultsData collection is underway. The phase 1 review has been completed, and we have 84 survey responses. Phase 2 has commenced, with 9 workshops and 2 interviews conducted to date. Phase 3 will not commence until phase 2 has been completed. At this stage, project completion is anticipated by late 2026.
conclusionsFindings will inform the desirability, feasibility, and acceptability of co-designed DHPs for chronic disease management in rural Australia. Further, the study will contribute to the evidence base on collaborative, context-sensitive digital health innovation for resource-limited populations.
