Abstract
The aim of the study reported here was to reflect and report on lessons learned from adapting HCI methods to fit into an agile development process delivering a digital intervention for people managing Long Covid. During the project, we maintained a record of all activities and interim design products. Subsequently, selected records were analysed qualitatively. Challenges included engaging patients managing this complex, debilitating health condition and fitting the digital intervention into different and evolving patient pathways provided by clinics. The key contributions of this paper are a description of the clinically supported self-management app, Living With Covid Recovery, and of adapted methods for user-centred design and testing; narratives on engaging diverse clinics integrating a digital health intervention in their care pathways; reflections on designing for diverse users; implications for design of future technologies for supported self-management; and insights into multidisciplinary working that are rarely discussed within HCI.
