Co-design and prototype development of MedManageSCI: a medication self-management toolkit for adults with spinal cord injury/dysfunction
The co-design of the MedManageSCI prototype is a significant step toward addressing the medication self-management needs of adults with SCI/D. The implications of this work extend beyond SCI/D, highlighting the importance of tailored digital health resources for populations with complex healthcare needs. Future work is needed to refine the content, assess the feasibility, acceptability, and appropriateness of the toolkit, and examine outcomes related to medication self-management.
