Design Guidelines

The Open Health Stack (OHS) design guidelines are best practices for creating digital health applications that are human-centered, helpful and usable. The design guidelines show examples of what to do and what to avoid from a user experience lens, and how to best use the OHS components.

These guidelines were created with input from our community partners. Anyone can suggest ideas to improve this set of guidelines. We'd love to hear from you. To share feedback email hello-ohs@google.com.
