Chapter 7 152 practical, and user-friendly tools and guidelines to assist professionals in these efforts. The IeG represents an important step toward addressing this need. The application of the IeG revealed its value in guiding our design process and decisions. The intervention, as a result, was accepted and adhered to by the target group. In conclusion, our efforts in developing the IeG and its application in a specific case study represent a promising initial step toward narrowing the health gap. Our findings underscore the importance of tailoring our eHealth interventions to the diverse needs of the target group, thereby promoting healthy behavior. The findings suggest that the IeG could equip professionals with the practical knowledge and tools needed to achieve this. Looking forward, it will be essential to further explore and solidify the role of participatory design in design for eHealth equity while considering resource management, user engagement and personalization. By addressing these factors, we can pave the way for eHealth equity, ultimately contributing to narrowing the health gap through eHealth solutions rather than despite them.
