User-Centered Design for Digital Patient-Navigation Tools in Oncology: Scoping Review

A scoping review highlighted challenges in the digital transformation of patient navigation programs for cancer due to poor usability and limited uptake of digital tools. The review focused on understanding how User-Centered Design (UCD) and Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles are applied and evaluated in developing and implementing these digital health tools.

The effective digital transformation of patient support systems, particularly in critical healthcare areas like oncology, directly impacts patient outcomes and operational efficiency. Ensuring digital tools are user-centric is crucial for their adoption and for realizing the strategic benefits of health technology investments.

Digital transformation of oncology patient navigation is hindered by poor usability and inadequate tool adoption.

Forward consideration, not a verified fact.
