Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The aim of the study is to identify factors influencing the illness experience of endometriosis patients and how they are influenced by a regularly used app.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Furthermore, it is to be researched whether the app is still used regularly after weeks and how the illness experience of the persons concerned is changed by it. Furthermore, it will be evaluated which factors influence the experience of health apps in general and thus possibly create a general approach for the objective evaluation of health apps.
