The Delft Design Guide: Digital Health

Digital Health is the result of a team of creative experts, including researchers, healthcare professionals, and designers. This guide was created through a successful collaboration with a diverse group of digital health design practitioners, patients, and healthcare providers. They have a lot of experience in making, using, and implementing digital health solutions in healthcare. The main goal is to help digital health developers and designers by giving them useful insights and knowledge to make the digital patient experience better.
