Detailed Description
Chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema (CSUA) is a disease of the skin characterised by hives, swellings or both that last longer than 6 weeks (1). A quarter of patients with this disease report impaired quality of life (2). Furthermore, individuals with CSUA are more likely to have depression and anxiety (3). In addition, our previous qualitative research findings have noted issues with self-compassion among this cohort (4). Fatigue and poor sleep are common (5). We seek to examine possible links between physical activity, sleep, mood and symptoms of urticaria.
For participants who give their consent, we will do this by collecting and exploring:
- Fitbit tracker data
- Information on mood via the Athena CX app
- Information on symptoms of urticaria via the Athena CX app
Electronic health applications for smartphones are increasingly used in chronic health conditions and have been piloted in chronic spontaneous urticaria for recording of symptoms, medication reminders and patient education. This study will develop a smartphone application designed specifically for this cohort of patients, entitled Athena CX focusing specifically upon symptomatology and mood.
An observational study collecting biofeedback data in this cohort will inform our understanding of this disease and future research.
Objectives
- To delineate the psychological symptoms encountered by this cohort of patients
- To examine whether there is a link between biofeedback data and symptoms of chronic spontaneous urticaria and angioedema (CSUA)
- To collect linked clinical data on participants with CSUA
- To inform an RCT examining the use of a digital behavioural intervention for patients with CSUA

This is an observational study. There is no intervention outside the collection of data from participants. Consenting participants in the study will be provided with a Fitbit activity tracker and asked to wear it for a period of three months. The Fitbit measures:
Participants will be asked to download an app onto their smart phone entitled Athena CX. This app is designed to capture:
