    Challenges in Co-Designing Digital Health Interventions

    In this episode, PhD candidate Anthony Duffy explains the challenges that hinder successful digital interventions, such as competing priorities and differing validation methods between health practitioners and designers. Anthony is currently exploring how to scale co-design processes to gather insights from thousands of participants simultaneously, aiming to bridge the divide between traditional small-scale qualitative feedback and large-scale clinical requirements. Dr. Lawrence and Anthony also discuss the rise of the "Digital Health Citizen," a movement that encourages individual health responsibility and challenges the historical, top-down hierarchy of medicine.
