Recent studies within the UK have indicated that there is a need to incorporate patient stories into health records, to improve quality and continuity of care.

This is particularly important when treating people with multiple long‐term health conditions (multimorbidity), whose health stories can be particularly complex.

The objective of the study was to understand the goals and requirements of people with multimorbidity for digital health storytelling tools.

The findings indicate that people living with multimorbidity would use health storytelling tools to understand and reflect on their journeys, convey their experiences to others and advocate for themselves against scepticism.

Future research could explore other areas such as collaborative health storytelling or the technical implementation of tools.
