| Abstract: | Over 100.000 people in the Netherlands receive a cancer diagnosis per year. These people experience significant levels of distress and are in need of psychological support. Currently, an mHealth intervention is in development for this target group with a focus on self-compassion. The project uses a co-design approach, in which the target group is actively engaged in the design cycle. Based on theories from within the interaction design and held co-design workshops, an interface was designed. A focus on user experience design to stimulate continued usage was applied. With co-design, input from the target group was used to evaluate several iterations of the interface, including the homepage, functions, and interactions. Finally, the prototype was evaluated using a SUS-test. Based on the results, the prototype received positive marks on the field of usability and learnability, meaning that co-design might have a positive influence on these two factors. This paper closes with a brief discussion on the differences in literature and user input, the ways in which co-design influenced the actual prototype and the impairments of this prototype. |
