This report proposes a framework for the design and development of domestic health enhancement devices. It adopts the approach of targeting a selected lifestyle or demography and tailoring a set of device functionalities to its needs. Throughout the design and development process, the framework provides disciplined guidelines to achieve its three design objectives – safety, effectiveness, and user receptiveness. A case study is performed to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework in the context of high heel wearers. The first design iteration in accordance to the framework is completed and evaluated.
