Abstract:
The Pedi R-MAPP tool has been developed using a step-by-step process of design-thinking to lead the development, iteration, evaluation, and dissemination of digital interventions. Pedi R-MAPP can be used as an aide memoire to guide dietitians and healthcare professionals to complete a nutrition-focused assessment, aiming to reduce variation in practice and provide guidance as to the frequency of review, including urgent in-person medical review.
This article showcases the process undertaken to develop the Pedi R-MAPP tool.
