Recruiting Participants in Digital Health: Lessons from a Palliative Care Telehealth Project
Recruiting participants is a cornerstone of Human-Centric Computing (HCC) research, especially in Digital Health research and development. Effective recruitment ensures that the developed systems reflect the needs and experiences of the intended users. This paper explores recruitment strategies, challenges, and experiences encountered in a project focused on enhancing telehealth through technology co-design, development, and evaluation. By detailing recruitment efforts in the Palliative Care cohort through the think-aloud and simulation study phases, this paper provides insights and practical recommendations for future HCC research in the digital health area.
