Abstract: Our research set out to investigate the potential for a beneficial technology intervention in the area of medication management – an area previously devoid of such support. We chose the design research (DR) method, based on its suitability to handle complexity as evidenced by its use in education and information systems-based research. Our intervention was based on two artefacts – an information model and its implementation as a digital document – which were well accepted by the trial participants. Based on our positive experience, we conclude that DR may very well be a useful and appropriate research approach for studying the application and impact of technology interventions in the health domain.
