We recommend that education initiatives are conducted throughout the different phases, from before to after the launch of the e-HKD. As people gain more understanding about the benefits of the e-HKD, their perceptions will differ, which will provide valuable insights for the development of the e-HKD. We recommend that feedback from the public is collected regularly even after the e-HKD is launched to facilitate continuous enhancements on the design, functionality, and usability.
