Designing Values Elicitation Technologies for Mental Health and Chronic Care Integration: User-Centered Design Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Individuals with multiple chronic conditions (MCCs) and mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety have complex health needs and experience significant challenges with care coordination.
