Table 9 User derived requirements for PD_manager design

R1

Motor and non-motor symptom outputs should be in a quick and easy to understand graphical format.

R2

Clinician needs to be able to easily identify/compare changes in symptoms overtime and drill down into different time periods depending on the needs of the patient.

R3

Provide video capture data to help establish the difference between Dyskinesia and Tremor in patients’ self-report.

R4

Data provision should facilitate the ability to establish the co-occurrence of, and comparison of, motor with non-motor symptoms

R5

The User Interface should provide flexibility for the clinician to choose, in conjunction with the patient which symptoms and data collection options/time periods are of most interest for a particular patient and be able to explore these in the context of a personalised integrated data output.

R6

Provide the clinician and patient/caregiver with data on patient’s adherence to pharmacological and supporting therapy care plans over time.

R7

Provide the clinician and patient/caregiver access to an up-to-date list of a patient’s current prescribed pharmacological care plan (e.g. drug name, format, dosage etc.).

R8

Provide the clinician and patient/caregiver with access to an up-to-date list of patient’s current prescribed supporting therapy care plans so that they have a view of all the activities that should be taking place i.e. for a GP it would be useful to be able to see whether a PD nurse specialist had prescribed changes to a care plan. Similarly it would be useful for a physiotherapist to be able to see what occupational therapy plans had been prescribed etc. thus facilitating a better understanding of the overall care being provided across the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

R9

Provide the clinician with the ability to monitor the effectiveness of the step-by-step changes made to pharmacological care plans both at and between face-to-face consultations (i.e. remotely) to establish if the change has resulted in a positive/negative outcome.

R10

Provide the clinician and patient/caregivers with the ability to access data on patient’s activity levels/duration in their home environment.

R11

Provide the clinician with the ability to prescribe supporting therapies a patient can engage with at home and provide data on patient’s adherence/performance indicators when they have engaged with these therapies via the PD_manager platform (e.g. gamification of physio, cognitive activities, speech and nutrition).

R12

Provide a communication platform to facilitate the sharing of information and alerts between clinicians participating in the care of a patient in the context of an MDT.

R13

Provide functionality to alert patient/caregiver with when they should take their medication.
