Given its adaptability to different contexts, project goals, and professionals, it is essential to test and refine the guide by implementing it in realworld situations. As a start, this chapter presents a case study on designing an eHealth intervention for individuals with low socioeconomic position (SEP) in the context of cardiac rehabilitation (CR). During this study, we identified the need of patients with a low SEP to feel more certain and guided during their waiting period preceding CR. In response, we developed a tailored eHealth intervention with the target group to address this need. Implementing the guide during this project yielded four key lessons learned that could guide future designers in similar case-specific applications: the need for resource management, the value of participatory methods, and the importance of personalization and simplicity in eHealth design.
