Particularly important is the need to test the efficacy of technology, both with patients and clinical practitioners prior to roll-out within the British National Health Service (NHS) is emphasised. Two projects are discussed focusing on user-centered engagement, within mobile technology evaluation involving clinicians (as users) and a Patient centered system for receiving feedback.
