Effective self-management has been shown to improve outcomes, but this can only be done in the context of adequate patient education. Lack of education potentially was a contributor in 94% of the children who died from asthma in 2012. Aims: To develop an online resource to support and educate all involved in the care of children with asthma Methods: 3 user groups workshops were developed aimed at 1) Primary Care Professionals 2) Parents and 3) Young People with asthma. Workshops were run in collaboration with Open Lab at Newcastle University, an interaction design and computing research group. Volunteers were recruited through advertising on GP websites and in the hospital outpatient setting. Workshops centred around creating personas to inform specific user requirements. Results: An understanding of the knowledge base of the different groups together with the main themes for user requirements was elicited. Branding and usability was explored together with how the different groups would most likely access the information. Discussion: Using these recommendations, the Beat Asthma brand was created and the online resource developed. Since its launch in November 2017, it has had over 4000 views world-wide. Feedback from all user groups has been excellent. It is hoped this resource will support education in all who look after children with asthma, empowering patients and improving self-management.
