Abstract: Smartphone apps could support patients and caregivers in disease self-management. However, as patients’ experiences and needs might not always align with clinical judgments, the eliciting and engaging of perspectives of all stakeholders in the smartphone app design process is of paramount importance. The aims of this study are to better understand the needs of and challenges facing caregivers and health care professionals (HCPs) who care for children with atopic dermatitis (AD) and to explore the desirable features and content of a smartphone app that would support AD self-management. This study adopted a qualitative participatory co-design methodology involving 3 focus group discussions: workshop one focused on caregivers workshop two engaged with HCPs and in the last workshop, caregivers and digital health experts were asked to design the wireframe prototype. The participants completed a sociodemographic questionnaire, a technology acceptance questionnaire, and a workshop evaluation form. Twelve caregivers participated in the first workshop, and 10 HCPs participated in the second workshop. Eight caregivers and 4 digital health experts attended the third workshop. Three superordinate themes that reflected caregivers’ and HCPs’ challenges and needs were identified: empowerment by education, confusion over treatment, and emotional impact. Workshop participants also raised a series of suggestions on the features and contents of the AD self-management app, which informed the last co-design workshop, and described their needs and challenges. In the last workshop, the participants developed a wireframe prototype of the app following the identified requirements and recommendations. The co-design approach was found to be a successful way of engaging with the participants, as it allowed them to express their creativity and helped us to articulate the root of the clinical problems. The co-design workshop was successful in creating and generating new ideas and solutions for smartphone app development.

Abstract: For most Western Australian plant species, no information is available on the effect of Phytophthora cinnamomi on seedling emergence, early survival, and early plant growth. Such information is required when selecting species for rehabilitating Eucalyptus marginata (jarrah) forest areas affected by Phytophthora dieback. This study evaluates the response of several native species to P. cinnamomi to identify those resistant to the pathogen at the early stages of plant development. Firstly, the effect of P. cinnamomi on seedling emergence and early survival was evaluated for 50 native species. Then, 24 species were selected and tested for their resistance to P. cinnamomi when more mature. They were infested at 5–7 months old and disease impact assessed after two months. Of 38 species that emerged in sufficient numbers for statistical analysis, P. cinnamomi did not affect either emergence or survival of 9 species, emergence or survival was decreased in 14 species, and both emergence and survival were significantly decreased in 15 species. Of the species tested at 5–7 months old, two were resistant, six were moderately resistant, ten were susceptible, three were highly susceptible, and three were tolerant hosts of P. cinnamomi . These results indicate that field resistance recorded from mature plants may be due to asymptomatic infection or resistance may not be present in seedlings. Therefore, data from mature plants may not be appropriate when selecting species for seed-based restoration.
