This piece critiques the exclusion of healthcare practitioners (HCPs) from the digital health innovation process. Drawing on “Sync fast and solve things—best practices for responsible digital health” by Landers et al., the editorial argues for the importance of inclusive co-creation, in which clinicians play an active role in developing digital health solutions. It emphasizes that without the meaningful involvement of HCPs, digital health tools risk being clinically irrelevant.
本文批评了将医疗从业者排除在数字健康创新过程之外的做法。该社论借鉴了兰德斯等人所著的《快速同步并解决问题——负责任的数字健康最佳实践》,主张包容性共同创造的重要性,即临床医生在开发数字健康解决方案中发挥积极作用。它强调,如果医疗从业者没有实质性参与,数字健康工具可能在临床上毫无意义。
