Co-creating a cancer screening dashboard with screening invitees and experts

Population-based screenings for cervical, breast, and colorectal cancer in the Netherlands enable early detection, yet participation has declined. Some invitees, particularly vulnerable groups, struggle with informed decision-making. Simplifying digital information in collaboration with invitees and experts may enhance accessibility. This study aims to develop a user-friendly screening dashboard. Two co-creation sessions with screening invitees (n=6) and experts (n=3) explored relevant dashboard content and functionalities, and they discussed disadvantages of a screening dashboard. Eventually, prototypes were developed. Participants were enthusiastic to work on prototyping a potential screening dashboard. Presenting information about screening and offering usable functionalities improve the user experience of end users. A co-created screening dashboard, including preferences and requirements of users and experts, can improve accessibility of a cancer screening program and support informed decision-making for screening invitees.
