We undertook a systematic review evaluating the effectiveness and cost of health-focused innovation design contests. We followed Cochrane guidance and systematically searched eight databases. Articles were included if they reported an open contest focused on improving health, required participants submit finished design solutions and contained a prize structure. We searched 3579 citations, identifying 29 health-focused innovation design contests which collectively received 15494 contest submissions. Contests solicited submissions worldwide (7) and exclusively from North America (13), Asia (4), Africa (2), Australia (2) and Europe (1). Submissions per contest ranged from 3 to 11354 (median of 73). Contest entrants were tasked with helping develop health promotion messages (HPM) (25) and improve predictive clinical models, protocols and/or algorithms (4). Two types of contests emerged-those focused on high-quality, innovative outcomes and those focused on the process of mass community engagement. All outcome-oriented contests had innovation design contest solutions equivalent or superior to the comparator (100%; 7/7). Two of two studies found that innovation design contests saved money (100%; 2/2). Five of seven process-oriented contests concluded the contest improved at least one health indicator (71%; 5/7). Innovation design contests are an effective way to solicit innovative solutions to health problems and spur mass community engagement.
我们进行了一项系统评价，评估以健康为重点的创新设计竞赛的有效性和成本。我们遵循Cochrane指南，系统检索了八个数据库。如果文章报道了以改善健康为重点的公开竞赛，要求参与者提交完整的设计方案并包含奖励结构，则纳入该文章。我们检索了3579条引文，确定了29项以健康为重点的创新设计竞赛，这些竞赛共收到15494份参赛作品。竞赛在全球范围内征集作品（7项），也有仅在北美（13项）、亚洲（4项）、非洲（2项）、澳大利亚（2项）和欧洲（1项）征集的。每项竞赛的参赛作品数量从3份到11354份不等（中位数为73份）。竞赛参与者的任务是帮助制定健康促进信息（HPM）（25项）以及改进预测性临床模型、方案和/或算法（4项）。出现了两种类型的竞赛——一种侧重于高质量的创新成果，另一种侧重于大规模社区参与的过程。所有以成果为导向的竞赛都有等同于或优于对照的创新设计竞赛解决方案（100%；7/7）。两项研究中有两项发现创新设计竞赛节省了资金（100%；2/2）。七项以过程为导向的竞赛中有五项得出结论，该竞赛至少改善了一项健康指标（71%；5/7）。创新设计竞赛是征集健康问题创新解决方案并促进大规模社区参与的有效方式。
