Summary
This summary is machine-generated.Understanding power dynamics in digital health participatory design (PD) is key for successful adoption. Patients, healthcare professionals, and family members each possess unique power bases influencing tool co-creation.
Area Of Science
- Digital Health
- Human-Computer Interaction
- Sociology of Health
Background
- Digital health adoption requires multi-stakeholder engagement.
- Participatory design (PD) facilitates co-creation but is influenced by stakeholder relationships and power dynamics.
Purpose Of The Study
- To explore power dynamics among patients, healthcare professionals, and family members during participatory design workshops for digital health tools.
- To understand how different bases of power influence the co-design process across diverse international settings.
Main Methods
- Conducted a series of participatory design workshops in four countries.
- Collected data through participant observation, audio recordings, and facilitator interviews.
- Analyzed data using French and Raven's Bases of Power framework.
Main Results
- Patients utilized referent and informational power stemming from lived experiences.
- Healthcare professionals primarily employed expert and legitimate power.
- Family members demonstrated coercive and reward power, impacting the design process.
Conclusions
- Recognizing and addressing distinct power bases among patients, healthcare professionals, and family members is crucial for effective digital health co-design.
- Power dynamics significantly shape participatory design outcomes, influencing the development and adoption of digital health technologies.

What do you think is the single most influential factor in determining with whom you become friends and whom you form romantic relationships? You might be surprised to learn that the answer is simple: the people with whom you have the most contact. This most important factor is proximity. You are more likely to be friends with people you have regular contact with. For example, there are decades of research that shows that you are more likely to become friends with people who live in your dorm,...
Epidemiological study designs are fundamental tools for investigating the distribution, determinants, and control of health conditions in populations. They help researchers understand the relationships between exposures and outcomes, and they broadly fall into two categories: "observational" and "experimental" studies.
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and...
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.
The agent-host-environment model states that disease results...
Effective communication is the foundation of a good organization. Communication is the lifeblood of an organization that connects the group with messages. In an organization, communication occurs in upward, downward, and horizontal lines. Downward communication travels from the administrative and senior levels to the staff through official channels such as manuals, rules and regulations, and organizational charts. Staff members initiate upward communication, which is addressed to executives and...
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...
The factors influencing the health-illness continuum can be internal or external and may or may not be under conscious control. They are related to the following eight human dimensions, and each dimension is interrelated to one other.
• The Physical Dimension: Age, developmental stage, race, and gender fall within the physical dimension. The individual's health state and lifestyle choices are significantly influenced by these factors and include caring for the body to stay healthy...
