• BackgroundBy examining the health needs of the general population and utilising the potential of digitalisation as a driving force, new internet-based services need to be developed in occupational therapy. However, existing guidelines for the development of complex interventions provide scant information on how to develop internet-based interventions.AimThe aim of this paper is to share experiences and illustrate important key actions and new perspectives to consider during the innovation process of developing and designing an internet-based occupational therapy intervention.Method and MaterialsInternational guidelines for intervention development was reviewed to add important perspectives in the innovation process.ResultsThe illustration focuses on five key actions in the development phase to highlight new perspectives and questions important to consider when designing new internet-based occupational therapy interventions.ConclusionThe new perspectives can complement existing guidelines to enhance the development of more effective and sustainable internet-based interventions.SignificanceThe illustration provided has potential to improve the sustainability in innovation processes of new internet-based occupational therapy interventions.
