Large displays with clear colour contrasts Clear, simple error messages Tailor content, mode of delivery, support and training to the user by assessing their motivations, and personal characteristics
Size of dropdown arrows, radar buttons, and links Error messages which are not restricted by a single format Physician recommendation
Use short texts in simple language and combine with a visual plus an audio format Use testing and feedback cycles from the target population in the development stages Automatic data transfer and easy integration of data across systems/devices
