The findings are used as the inspiration for designing and implementing a dynamic electronic patient-reported outcome measures (ePROM) mobile application. \nThe application promotes the identified healthcare practices by using the patient-gathered data of each user and tailoring the contents of their questionnaire to them. The application is usability tested with the System Usability Scale is deemed to have good usability (83.75/100) and be a facilitator for better consultations.
