Centering Equity in Digital Health Solution Evaluation

Learning Objectives
1. Recognize a framework and range of methods needed to evaluate digital tools with a focus on health equity
2. Identify equitable evaluation strategies that match the audience, diverse needs of interested parties, groups, and communities, and stage of the innovation
3. Articulate strategies to ensure inclusive data is collected and reported routinely and in a timely manner
0.5 Credit CME

Digital tools can improve health and health care. However, if such technology is not designed, implemented, and evaluated with a focus on equity, it can worsen inequities.

Historical and current injustices in the way that health interventions, including digital health interventions, exclude and harm Black, Indigenous, and people of color; those who identify as LGBTQIA+; immigrant communities; people with low income; people with disabilities, and other communities who have been marginalized by the US health system necessitate an equity-first approach to evaluation.

This is the final module in a three-part series focusing on how to position technology so that it can improve health for all by addressing how evaluators can assess digital health innovations through a health equity lens.
