Discussion Topic
As conventional medicine shifts towards digital medicine, we have the opportunity to intentionally develop and deploy DHTs with an inclusion focus. The first step is ensuring that the multiple dimensions of diversity are captured; we propose a lexicon that encompasses elements critical for implementing an inclusive approach to advance healthcare quality and health services research in the digital era.
Listen to experts from the FDA, patient advocacy, and the life science and med-tech industries as they discuss why it is important that the intersectionality of the diversity dimensions is represented in healthcare and clinical research. The lexicon for the dimensions of diversity can inform strategies and resources for more inclusive digital product development and deployment.
