Examples of online participation activities during the exploratory phase.

Challenge 1: Starting here (from the beginning)- Onboarding the e-mpodera2 platform	How to use the platform (tutorial) and participants’ introduction
Challenge 2: To upload an image of your recovery from IHD	We propose you to share photos that symbolize your experience in the recovery process of heart disease. Find or take a picture that represents some moment of the process and comment it with the following questions
Challenge 3: Healthy habits	In your experience, what have been the most difficult times to maintain your diet, exercise and/or not smoke? Give an example of the moment/s in which you have skipped the recommendations of healthy habits and comment on those of your partner. How have you overcome similar temptations?
Challenge 4: Reviewing the Patient Journey of IHD	The Patient Journey Map is a scheme that aims to reflect a path followed by people with ischemic heart disease. It is a summary of what we talked about in the first face-to-face session. We would like you to review this draft version. What do you think? Does it reflect well the general experience of having ischemic heart disease? Do you miss something?
Challenge 5: Communication skills	During your IHD process, do you remember any time when you had communication problems about the disease with someone in your family, partner, friends and/or the nearest circle? Share some experience and make a suggestion to that of another participant

IHD = ischemic heart disease.
