Abstract:
To improve the usefulness and user-friendliness of eHealth interventions, a framework for the development of eHealth technology has been developed. It combines User-Centered Design with the Persuasive System Design model. The current paper is aimed at offering a (practical) method for the integration of these two design approaches. Via a case study, the paper demonstrates how User-Centered Design and the Persuasive Systems Design model can complement and mutually enrich each other.
