This PhD research project was part of the larger SMILE project undertaken in the South-East of Ireland.

Participants used the ProACT CareApp with a range of digital devices to self-manage their conditions.

Due to Covid-19 restrictions, one focus group on Zoom was conducted with three telephone triage nurses (TTNs), and telephone interviews were conducted with a sub-set of 10 older people with multimorbidity (PwMs).

Qualitative data were thematically analysed using Nvivo 12 software.
