Summary

A collaborative research approach was used to co-develop patient reported outcome measures or PROMS. One of our PROMS (SURE) assesses recovery from alcohol and other drug problems, and another (SUSS) assesses sleep problems. People using SURE and SUSS reported that they would like to complete them on their mobile phones and tablet computers so that they could record and refer back to their scores. This chapter describes the collaborative research process used to co-design a mobile application (app) called SURE Recovery, including the experiences of working with a diverse team of people with lived experience of addiction, researchers, app developers, and clinicians. The chapter also provides reflections on the challenges encountered and the lessons learned. Insights and advice for others are offered who might be interested in developing similar recovery-oriented apps in the future.
