“…To maintain currency of included information, literature reviews were updated annually, and SC members alerted the project team to newly published research. Co‐design engagement process The study used an iterative co‐design methodology whereby researchers, designers and developers worked together with potential users and clinicians (collectively termed ‘stakeholders’) from concept creation to prototype review to final product 20 …”

ObjectivesTo develop an online treatment decision aid (OTDA) to assist patients with low‐risk prostate cancer (LRPC) and their partners in making treatment decisions.Patients and methodsNavigate, an OTDA for LRPC, was rigorously co‐designed by patients with a confirmed diagnosis or at risk of LRPC and their partners, clinicians, researchers and website designers/developers. A theoretical model guided the development process. A mixed methods approach was used incorporating (1) evidence for essential design elements for OTDAs; (2) evidence for treatment options for LRPC; (3) an iterative co‐design process involving stakeholder workshops and prototype review; and (4) expert rating using the International Patient Decision Aid Standards (IPDAS). Three co‐design workshops with potential users (n = 12) and research and web‐design team members (n = 10) were conducted. Results from each workshop informed OTDA modifications to the OTDA for testing in the subsequent workshop. Clinician (n = 6) and consumer (n = 9) feedback on usability and content on the penultimate version was collected.ResultsThe initial workshops identified key content and design features that were incorporated into the draft OTDA, re‐workshopped and incorporated into the penultimate OTDA. Expert feedback on usability and content was also incorporated into the final OTDA. The final OTDA was deemed comprehensive, clear and appropriate and met all IPDAS criteria.ConclusionNavigate is an interactive and acceptable OTDA for Australian men with LRPC designed by men for men using a co‐design methodology. The effectiveness of Navigate in assisting patient decision‐making is currently being assessed in a randomised controlled trial with patients with LRPC and their partners.

“…Design Science Research Methodology (DSRM) revolves around the aim of building multiple sociotechnical artefacts, which range from software, processes, computer algorithms and systems with the goal to improve and/or solve the problem at hand [28][29][30]. Further, Hevner and Wickramasinghe [31] employed DSRM to healthcare contexts, noting the importance of the adapting and using of DSRM in healthcare contexts when patient-centric solutions are a priority. Given this, DSRM was incorporated into our methodology.…”

Diabetes Mellitus a prevalent chronic disease that affects people from all genders and ages, continues to grow exponentially with predictions of nearly 578 million people affected by 2030. Self-management, known to be an essential aspect of any care program, can help patients with diabetics to control blood glucose and thereby, reduce the impact and likely complications. However, self-management to date has included the development of digital health solutions which have poor sustained uptake. This is primarily since such digital solutions have a poor fit with patient and clinician needs. In this paper, we propose a digital platform for supporting patients with diabetes. The proposed platform is a work-in-progress research and has been co-designed and co-developed (jointly with patients and clinicians) based on design science principles and includes key aspects of task-technology fit information system theory for further evaluation.

“…They suggested that design science theory as a methodology, needs to be consistent with prior literature, provide a nominal process model for doing design science research, and provide a mental model for presenting and evaluating design science research [39]. Moreover, Hevner and Wickramasinghe [40] noted that in healthcare contexts use of design science research methodology was especially prudent for fine tuning innovative solutions.…”

As noted by the World Health Organization (WHO) diabetes is a silent epidemic, and by 2020 there will be a 54% rise in the total number of individuals diagnosed with this disease. Moreover, diabetes is the most prevalent chronic disease globally today. What these figures underscore is that the current approaches to prevention and management of diabetes appear to be flawed and thus not delivering the desired results. While it is well recognized that early detection and proactive management of diabetes is essential, this paper suggests a technology solution to assist a key patient frustration around diet and meal planning; namely a solution that can frequently provide reliable information, decision support and guidance to empower people with type 2 diabetes.
