About the group
We utilize participatory research methodologies to understand citizen engagement, information practices and health systems transformation, specifically focusing on
- interdisciplinary information practices, health data production and information flows across levels of care, incorporating health professionals’ as well as patients’ and their families’ perspectives
- engaging and empowering citizens with complex care requirements, disabilities and/or chronic diseases, to co-create and assess digital services with trusted health information and personal health data to improve understanding of offered information (digital literacy).
DCC contributes to understand health information production and use to fully exploit digital transformation for quality care and to understand what supports, emphasizes, or underpins ICT as an integral tool for health care services. We have established extensive multistakeholder public-private collaboration with health sector, industry, care sites, professionals, patients, people with chronic conditions and/or disabilities and seek to contribute to resources and practices that are “fit for purpose” during ongoing transformation.
