Feasibility and usability evaluation of a gamified fatigue management mobile application for persons with multiple sclerosis in everyday life
More Stamina is a feasible and acceptable gamified mHealth app for MS fatigue management. It seems to improve self-awareness and supports proactive energy planning, particularly for users with severe fatigue. Despite initial technical challenges, the app shows potential for integration into broader MS management strategies. Larger, long-term studies are needed to evaluate clinical efficacy and optimize design for sustained engagement.
