This study aims to assess whether the use of the METHIS digital platform using a patient-centered approach contributes to an improvement in the quality of life, mental health and physical activity of patients with multimorbidity followed up in Primary Health Care. Practices will be randomly allocated between: providing access to consultations through the METHIS platform (intervention) or following patients by the traditional method (control). They will complete questionnaires on quality of life, mental health and report the number of steps taken, at the beginning and end of the study.

A superiority, cluster randomised trial will be conducted at Primary Health Care Practices (1:1 allocation ratio). All public practices in the Lisbon and Tagus Valley Region, Portugal, not involved in a previous pilot trial, will be eligible. The intervention combines a training programme and a customised Information System (METHIS). Both are designed to help clinicians to adopt a Goal-Oriented Care Model approach and to encourage patients and carers to play a more active role in autonomous healthcare.
