Human-Centered Design Approaches in Digital Mental Health Interventions: Exploratory Mapping Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Digital mental health interventions have a great potential to alleviate mental illness and increase access to care. However, these technologies face significant challenges, especially in terms of user engagement and adoption. It has been suggested that this issue stems from a lack of user perspective in the development process; accordingly, several human-centered design approaches have been developed over the years to consider this important aspect. Yet, few human-centered design approaches to digital solutions exist in the field of mental health, and rarely are end users involved in their development.

Objective

The main objective of this literature review is to understand how human-centered design is considered in e-mental health intervention research.
