dc.description.abstractBackground: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are a leading cause of global morbidity, with the burden expected to increase in the near future. Self-management, with the support of healthcare professionals, is recommended for many MSDs. However, frequent clinical contact is not feasible. Previous research has highlighted the need for a co-designed eHealth-mediated self-management follow-up support intervention which integrates remote monitoring and behavioural change. Thus, the current study aims to develop and design a user-centred, eHealth-mediated self-management support prototype for people with MSDs. Methods: A three-step, iterative system development cycle will be utilised to develop and design the “eHealth: It’s TIME prototype”. The three-step process will include creating website features and content using two sequential focus groups with people with MSDs (n = 6 – 8); heuristic testing using the 10 heuristic principles of Nielsen (n = 5); and usability testing through in-person 60-minute interviews with people with MSDs (n = 3 – 5) and musculoskeletal physiotherapists (n = 3 – 5). Conclusion: The eHealth: It’s TIME prototype will be a systematically developed, follow-up self-management support intervention guided by behavioural change theory and the preferences of end users.en
