Co-design Interview Study for A Functional Dyspepsia Wellbeing App

The interviews will be held via Zoom, a web-based conferencing platform, for 30-60 minutes. Each interview will be held separately, with one participant at a time.

In the interview, we will ask about your current coping strategies and experience with digital health tools before asking about opinions on possible content and how it can be delivered in our tailored well-being app.

After the interview, you will be reimbursed a $30 e-voucher as thanks for your participation. International participants will be given an equivalent voucher from their country of residence. You will receive this irrespective of whether you withdraw during the study.

Your participation will help us design an app. You can choose whether or not to participate in follow-up interviews or questionnaires to give us further feedback after we have developed a preliminary app. If consent is given, we will contact you about this at a future date.

You are eligible to participate if you,

• Are 18 years or older
• Able to speak, read, and write fluently in English
• Have had at least one of the following symptoms over the past three months, with the onset of symptoms at least six months prior:  feeling uncomfortably full after a regular-sized meal more than one day a week, unable to finish a regular-sized meal more than one day a week, having pain or burning in the middle of the abdomen at least one day a week. 
• Do not have an eating disorder
• Do not have long-term care or have cognitive impairment

People from any country can participate, as the interviews will be conducted online.
