Recommendations for the assessment of medical device software for sustained adoption of future digital health interventions.

Domain	Recommendations
Technical	A high technology readiness level is key for sustained adoption of MDSWa. Data privacy, security, and interoperability need to be addressed for regulatory compliance. MDSW should evolve to support collaborative work.
Clinical	A dedicated change management team is required for integrated care eHealth strategies. A unified evaluation protocol facilitates comparability among digital health interventions. Key performance indicators need to be adopted for continuous assessment.
Usability	Cocreation facilitates design while minimizing the need for user training and enhances adoption. Cognitive behavioral therapy techniques enhance user adherence to digital health applications.
Cost	Evidence on health care value generation of digital health interventions precedes cost containment. Bundle payment approaches based on service performance are advised.
