Abstract
Person-centred care advocates for co-design of all healthcare services and research interventions by the end-user. Co-design is widely used, but the methodological approaches, evaluation, and reporting of outcomes are often poorly defined. One methodology for co-design is the User Experience Design which provides guidance and theoretical frameworks to inform development and reporting measures. This article outlines the application of this approach in the development of a web-based cardiac rehabilitation program and reports on the very positive experiences of the patients involved in the process and how their input strategically influenced outcomes.
