Several conceptual frameworks were identified including user-centred design and behaviour change frameworks as well as HCD methods identified including user interviews, focus groups, co-design workshops, usability testing and surveys. Key facilitators included ongoing user engagement, multidisciplinary collaboration and iterative prototyping. Barriers included limited digital literacy among older adults, challenges in recruiting diverse user groups and resource constraints impacting the breadth of HCD activities.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Dashboards developed using HCD approaches suggest improved usability, acceptability and relevance for older adults, supporting better self-management of health conditions. However, inconsistent frameworks, lack of research outside Europe, America and Australia and underuse of dashboard analytics were identified as challenges. Future research should adopt validated HCD frameworks, address acceptability factors and evaluate real-world use to develop more inclusive and sustainable digital health tools for older adults.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/bmjopen-2025-113525","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]],"date-time":"2026-07-17T12:20:23Z","timestamp":1784290823000},"page":"e113525","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Human-centred design of digital health dashboards in care of older adults: a scoping review"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"16","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9274-3298","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Syeda Taqya Amna","family":"Arslan","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8579-1718","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Siobhan","family":"O\u2019Connor","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Florence Nightingale Faculty of Nursing, Midwifery and Palliative Care, King\u2019s College London, London, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bibhusha","family":"Karki","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chloe","family":"French","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4522-5292","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma","family":"Stanmore","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Health Sciences, The University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"School of Health Sciences and Manchester Academic Health Science Centre (MAHSC), University of Manchester, Manchester, UK"},{"name":"Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust, Manchester, UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"2026090306252778000_16.7.e113525.1","unstructured":"World Health Organization .
