Most participants (n=13, 87%) rated user-friendliness as &lt;i&gt;good&lt;/i&gt; (n=3, 20%), &lt;i&gt;excellent&lt;/i&gt; (n=9, 60%), &lt;i&gt;best imaginable&lt;/i&gt; (n=1, 7%). Open-ended revealed would be useful trends in engagement (n=8, 53%) topics discussion communicating (n=5, 33%). (n=4) identified that real-time data use helps management uptake. Suggestions features add ability track partial modules (4/14, 29%), time per module (2/14, 14%), exportable reports 29%). Other ideas improvement direct messaging capabilities, videoconferencing integration, being able modify participant account contact information. <title>CONCLUSIONS</title> Results indicate easy provides functional information delivering &lt;i&gt;ez&lt;/i&gt;Parent. Qualitative results integrating suggested into may help smoother ultimately using program. Providing resources real intervention participants’ helpful tracking providing facilitated support tailoring content completion.
