Importance: A patient-centered care model is needed for recurrent urinary tract infection (UTI) management.
Objective: The aim of this study was to develop a conceptual model for a digital platform to implement evidence-based guidelines for recurrent UTI management.
Study Design: This was a qualitative, 3-stage mixed methods study that included (1) developing an evidence-based prototype texting platform; (2) qualitative feedback from recurrent UTI patients using the platform; and (3) quantitative data on acceptability (proportion of patients engaging with the platform), accuracy (proportion of patient messages interpreted accurately by the platform), and usability (score 0-100).
