Abstract
During the pandemic, people were asked to stay at home, which increased the demand for software. The quality of the software is improving as a result of this trend. In response, companies have accelerated their digitization processes to provide better quality software that is more accessible, user-friendly, and secure. Since the pandemic, software development teams around the world have struggled to meet deadlines during uncertain times. This poster addresses the difficulties developers and designers face in developing and managing digital health software. This is due to the growing appeal of low and no-code platforms that are becoming more accessible and user-friendly to non-programmers. The goal of this project is to develop and evaluate a prototype digital health component library known as LICOR. This software development kit contains integrated digital components designed specifically for the digital health industry. It helps even non-experts create effective digital health products. The design approach was developed by combining various theories and techniques such as design system principles, domain-oriented design, micro front-ends, and microservices. The methodology is based on the design-based research approach, which combines theoretical research with working and coded software artifacts to enable real-world testing. We are interested in contributions from the community and would be happy to discuss ethical concerns, bias, and illiteracy in digital health with academics. Finally, we discuss future research opportunities and the difficulties of connecting the design phase with the development phase in digital health software development.
