Human Centered Design in Health Research 103 5 Conclusions We provide an overview of currently applied methodologies and HCD guidelines to assist healthcare professionals and design researchers in their methodological choices. HCD design-based techniques are challenging to evaluate with traditional biomedical research methods. Previously proposed reporting guidelines are a step forward but would require a level of detail incompatible with the current publishing landscape. Hence, further development is needed in this area. Special focus should be placed on the congruence between chosen methods, design strategy and achievable outcomes. Furthermore, power dimensions, agency and intersectionality need to be considered in co-design sessions with multiple stakeholders, especially when including vulnerable groups.
