Multiphase optimization strategy (MOST)
From:
Digital health products and services are usually made up of various features (multicomponent interventions). However, they are often assessed as a package and we are unable to tell which components of the interventions are effective and which are non-essential.
Multiphase optimization strategy (
MOST) involves first evaluating various different components to optimise the intervention. The components with the most promising results are then included in the intervention package while others are discarded.
What to use it for
Use the
MOST approach to assess different elements of your digital product or service. This method is particularly useful when you evaluate several different elements of a product or service against certain criteria, for example efficiency or cost.
