Summary

Introduction: Children with chronic conditions receive fragmented rehabilitative care due to the multitude of providers and structures involved, and the constant changes throughout their care and life course. E-health holds promise for supporting exchanges around the child and thus fostering more integrated care, but its adoption remains limited in healthcare settings.

Objective : the aim of this project is to explore the issues related to the usefulness and acceptability of a digital platform shared between children, their families and the professionals working with the children (rehabilitation, education, leisure) for monitoring children's health, to identify needs and preoccupations from the perspectives of the futur users, to inform the development of a digital application, named Deneo Kid.

Methodology: a qualitative study will be conducted. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted with professionals from the rehabilitation, education, social and leisure sectors in France, as well as decision-makers (healthcare executives, facility directors), and disabled children aged 11 to 25, to explore the opportunities, needs and concerns of these potential users with regard to this type of digital solution. The interviews will be conducted and recorded on Zoom. Only the audio recording will be kept, transcribed verbatim and then destroyed. At least 30 participants will be included, but it's when saturation is reached that the number of participants to be included will be determined. For the analysis, the 6 phases of a reflexive thematic analysis will be monitored using Nvivo12 software, by three analysts. The final themes will inform the development of a future digital health technology.

semi-directed interview or focus group

Participants will be recruited using purposive sampling with maximum variation. If they meet the inclusion criteria, they will be invited to take part in an online interview or focus group, lasting between 40 minutes and 1.5 hours. During the Zoom interview or focus group, they will be asked to answer several pre-defined open-ended questions based on an interview grid co-constructed with the co-investigators, including a patient partner and parent partners. They will be asked to answer closed socio-demographic questions at the end of the interview or focus group. The Zoom meeting will be recorded (audio) and then transcribed into anonymized written form.
