The Development of a Web-Based, Patient-Centered Intervention for Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia (CMyLife): Design Thinking Development Approach.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:With the global rise in chronic health conditions, health care is transforming, and patient empowerment is being emphasized to improve treatment outcomes and reduce health care costs. Patient-centered innovations are needed. We focused on patients with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a chronic disease with a generally good long-term prognosis because of the advent of tyrosine kinase inhibitors. However, both medication adherence by patients and guideline adherence by physicians are suboptimal, unnecessarily jeopardizing treatment outcomes. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to develop a patient-centered innovation for patients with CML using a design thinking methodology. METHODS:The 5 phases of design thinking (ie, empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and test) were completed
