About this Summary & Analysis
AZIZ OS provides independently prepared summaries and analytical interpretations of externally published research and knowledge sources. The underlying works remain attributable to their original authors and rights holders. This resource is intended to improve accessibility and understanding and does not replace the original publication.
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.
Why it matters
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.
Key insights
- Digital transformation of oncology patient navigation is hindered by poor usability and inadequate tool adoption.
- User-Centered Design (UCD) and Human-Centered Design (HCD) principles are proposed to address current usability gaps.
- The review aims to identify existing applications and best practices for UCD/HCD in oncology navigation tools.
- The research followed PRISMA-ScR and Joanna Briggs Institute guidance, indicating a rigorous methodological approach.
