Researchers Coproduce CommonGround Peer Support Platform

King's College London researchers and collaborators co-produced an online peer-support platform, CommonGround, in 2026 using a four-stage co-design and usability process. They involved a 10-member participatory design panel and a 12-person co-validation cohort, identifying safety, trust, navigation, and usability priorities through think-aloud testing. The finalized prototype addresses these concerns and is approved for evaluation in a forthcoming feasibility randomized controlled trial.
Key Points
- 1Co-produced CommonGround platform with 10-person participatory panel and 12-person usability cohort.
- 2Highlighted need for safety, trustworthiness, intuitive navigation to support mental well-being for long-term conditions.
- 3Suggests readiness for feasibility randomized controlled trial to evaluate acceptability and intervention usability.
Scoring Rationale
Strong participatory development and peer-reviewed evidence, but offers modest novelty and limited immediate generalizability beyond digital-health design.
