Advancements in digital health technology have incredible opportunity to advance health equity and improve outcomes for all communities. However, racism, sexism, ableism, and other systems of oppression are embedded in prevalent technology development practices and structures – from the way digital health teams are formed and funded to the way products are designed, implemented, and evaluated. This exacerbates long standing injustices impacting the health and wellbeing of Black, Latinx, Indigenous, and other communities of color; those who identify as LGBTQIA+; immigrant communities; people with low income; people with disabilities, and other communities who have been marginalized by the U.S. health system. This first module of a three-part series focuses on how an equity-first approach can be applied to digital health solution development, through meaningful engagement with and formal accountability to marginalized user communities across all phases of the design process.
