Participatory Health Informatics (PHI) can significantly advance the One Digital Health (ODH) framework by enhancing individual well-being, engaging populations, and contributing to the digital health ecosystem. However, careful consideration of health equity is crucial.
Area of Science:
- Digital Health
- Health Informatics
- Public Health
Background:
- The One Digital Health (ODH) framework aims to integrate various aspects of digital health.
- Participatory Health Informatics (PHI) involves active patient and public engagement in health information systems.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify the connections between PHI and the ODH framework.
- To explore PHI's role as a catalyst and contributor to ODH.
Main Methods:
- Analysis of 10 years of IMIA Yearbook contributions related to ODH.
- Matching key themes with ODH's three perspectives: individual, population/society, and ecosystem.
Main Results:
- PHI enhances the individual health perspective by offering a holistic view and integrating behavior change techniques.
- PHI supports population health through stakeholder engagement but risks exacerbating health inequities.
- PHI contributes to the ecosystem perspective by providing data for analyzing interrelations within the digital health landscape.
Conclusions:
- PHI and ODH are interconnected and will likely see further integration.
- As ODH evolves, its themes will increasingly influence PHI, fostering a co-evolution of both frameworks.
