Stakeholders Cocreate Equitable Digital Health Principles

This study by Catalonia's DS3 research group cocreated actionable design principles for equitable digital health through a participatory human-centered design process involving 265 stakeholders between June 2024 and April 2025. Participants identified barriers—digital literacy gaps, fragmented information systems, and exclusion of vulnerable groups—and produced ten principles to center people, integrate data, and foster collaboration. The principles aim to guide health information system design toward inclusive, person-centered digital transformation.
