Designing and implementing complex interventions into clinical practice is often limited by a lack of adaptation/adaptability to context-specific conditions; the absence of theoretical frameworks to develop and structure their content or to guide eHealth integration into existing care models; and the failure to embrace a user-centered design approach throughout the development process. To overcome these shortcomings, we combined methods from implementation science, behavioral science and computer science when developing, implementing and testing the SMILe-ICM (see publication).
