Published: 30 Jul 2024
The Digital Transformation of Health Lab (DTH-Lab) is a global consortium of partners working to drive implementation of the Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030’s recommendations for value-based and youth-centred digital transformations of health at global and national levels. In 2021, GHFutures2030 Commission produced a ground-breaking report on the digital transformations of health providing a strong evidence base and set of recommendations for the DTH-Lab to take forward. All areas of the DTH-Lab’s work are a direct result of three years of research, convening and partnership building.
The Lab will bring youth together with policymakers, technology companies and other stakeholders to drive change in three areas: (1) putting young people at the centre of digital f irst health systems; (2) advancing value-based governance of digital transformations in health; and (3) addressing digital determinants of health (DDoH). It will achieve its goals through a multidisciplinary approach that combines cutting edge research, strengthening youth leadership, driving innovations in policy and practice, and shifting public and political agendas.
