Abstract
- Primary care physicians are pivotal in treating widespread diseases, yet they often lack research resources. This study addresses the imperative of engaging in participatory research with these physicians. We have crafted a tailored value-added scenario with a general practitioner for conducting a retrospective study on hypertension treatment. A key element is the development of a study support tool in the form of a mobile application, enabling physicians to examine their patient cohorts and facilitate evidence-based medical research in their daily clinical practice. We utilize the Design-Based Research approach for this purpose.
