Recommendations included in the guide are either general guidance for designers and design teams that can be applied to the process of designing and developing a product; or specific to a design phase such as idea generation, identification of end users, testing and commercialization. The guide presents results of an environmental scan and grey literature review (PDF, 1.47 MB); as well as expert interviews (PDF, 987 KB) to improve consumer health IT design in order to increase effective use of consumer health IT. For more information about the project under which this guide was developed, go to the "Understanding Development Methods from Other Industries to Improve the Design of Consumer Health IT" project description.
