Abstract
Human-centered design (HCD) is an approach that aligns innovation development with the needs of the people and the settings where those innovations will be used. HCD is increasingly being applied across a variety of health domains, most often with the goals of translating research into real-world settings and expanding innovation adoption. This review introduces key HCD concepts, reviews the growth of HCD in public health and its alignment with the complementary field of implementation science, and details four prominent proximal outcomes of design processes: (a) usability, (b) user burden, (c) contextual appropriateness, and (d) engagement. For each outcome, we provide a definition and background, measurement options, and critiques and future directions. We conclude with a series of opportunities and challenges, including an inclusive big tent spanning different design traditions, pathways for enhancing HCD's scientific legitimacy, and explicit promotion of equitable design processes to improve individual, community, and population health.
期刊介绍:
The Annual Review of Public Health has been a trusted publication in the field since its inception in 1980. It provides comprehensive coverage of important advancements in various areas of public health, such as epidemiology, biostatistics, environmental health, occupational health, social environment and behavior, health services, as well as public health practice and policy.
In an effort to make the valuable research and information more accessible, the current volume has undergone a transformation. Previously, access to the articles was restricted, but now they are available to everyone through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. This open access approach ensures that the knowledge and insights shared in these articles can reach a wider audience. Additionally, all the published articles are licensed under a CC BY license, allowing users to freely use, distribute, and build upon the content, while giving appropriate credit to the original authors.
