Abstract
Heart failure self-management can be complex and challenging. We are collaborating with healthcare
professionals, patients and families to co-design a consumer mHealth application in support of heart failure
self-management. Four patient-modelled personas, developed through ethnographic interviews, were used in
co-design workshop activities to represent the patient experience and associated health challenges. We explain
how persona use benefited patients, the design team and the project lead in terms of efficiency, effectiveness
and anonymity, in our commitment to developing a mHealth application which meets the needs of our
patients and is clinically relevant.
