  1. Note: Free exercise (FGI 2) was not perceived possible to translate to ideas on features on the future internet service and therefore not included in the comprehensive prioritization and top 10 list.
  2. Question asked for compilation of the top 10 list: ‘Rank the three most important core features to have access to on an internet service to support physical activity.’ One person voted on 2 ideas and 2 persons voted on 4 ideas.
  3. 1 FGI, Focus group interview.
  4. 2 PA, Physical activity.
  5. 3 RA, Rheumatoid arthritis.
  6. 4 (n) = The sum of dots from the participants’ ranking of the three most important ideas discussed during the focus group interviews.
  7. 5 (n) = The sum of votes from the participants’ comprehensive prioritization of the three most important core features to include in the future internet service.
  8. 6(text) = the ideas from each FGI combined to the idea on the top 10 list.
