Journey maps are graphic representations of participant, user, customer, or patient experiences or "journeys" with a particular phenomenon, product, business, or organization. Journey maps help visualize complex pathways and phases in accessible, digestible ways. They also capture emotions, reactions, and values associated with the processes participants undergo, complemented by images or quotes from participants. Here, we outline the foundations of journey maps in research and in practice settings. Our goal is to describe journey maps to researchers new to the product and emphasize the novelty and utility of journey maps as visual products from qualitative research particularly in a health setting. To explore journey maps-including their benefits, drawbacks, and relevance-we discuss examples including our own process for designing a journey map of food insecure Veterans' experiences using qualitative, in-depth interviews and supported by member checking. Our journey map depicts food insecurity as a repetitive process, a unique contribution given that many journey maps are designed with discrete starting and stopping points. We conclude by discussing the novelty of journey maps as innovative products that researchers can use to identify opportunities for process improvements and innovation using multiple data sources or methods.

Background: The provision of healthcare is complex. When evidence-practice gaps are identified, interventions to improve practice across multi-level systems are required. These interventions often consist of multiple interacting components and behaviours.

Background: Adverse medicine events (AMEs) are unintended effects that occur following administration of medicines. Up to 70% of AMEs are not reported to, and hence remain undetected by, health care professionals and only 6% of AMEs are reported to regulators. Increased reporting by consumers, health care professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to medicine regulatory authorities is needed to increase the safety of medicines.

Background: The rapid proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) requires new approaches for human-AI interfaces that are different from classic human-computer interfaces. In developing a system that is conducive to the analysis and use of health big data (HBD), reflecting the empirical characteristics of users who have performed HBD analysis is the most crucial aspect to consider. Recently, human-centered design methodology, a field of user-centered design, has been expanded and is used not only to develop types of products but also technologies and services.
