An 11-Item Measure of User- and Human-Centered Design for Personal Health Tools (UCD-11): Development and Validation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Researchers developing personal health tools employ a range of approaches to involve prospective users in design and development.

Objective

The aim of this paper was to develop a validated measure of the human- or user-centeredness of design and development processes for personal health tools.

Methods

We conducted a psychometric analysis of data from a previous systematic review of the design and development processes of 348 personal health tools. Using a conceptual framework of user-centered design, our team of patients, caregivers, health professionals, tool developers, and researchers analyzed how specific practices in tool design and development might be combined and used as a measure. We prioritized variables according to their importance within the co
