About this trial
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.
