Description: Background: By 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. Aim: The 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 Materials: International guidelines for intervention development was reviewed to add important perspectives in the innovation process. Results: The 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. Conclusion: The new perspectives can complement existing guidelines to enhance the development of more effective and sustainable internet-based interventions. Significance: The illustration provided has potential to improve the sustainability in innovation processes of new internet-based occupational therapy interventions.
