Free Workshop: Inclusive Research and Co-design in Digital Health

The King’s Health Partners Digital Health Hub is running a free workshop on inclusive research and co-design in digital health, online on Wednesday 25th March, 2pm-4pm. Click here to book. 

Digital health initiatives often have uneven engagement once deployed in real-world settings, raising important digital equity considerations. Trust, prior institutional experience, data confidence, and structural inequality shape whether digital tools are adopted long-term. This online workshop will examine the practical implications of these dynamics. It will focus on how inclusive research and co-design approaches can strengthen recruitment, improve the credibility of engagement processes, and support more reliable adoption in complex, real-world settings.

The workshop will cover:

• How mistrust and structural inequality influence digital health engagement
• Why access and usability alone do not resolve participation gaps
• The role of data confidence and institutional history in shaping uptake
• Recruitment and communication strategies for digitally excluded and low-trust groups
• Applying inclusive research principles to digital testing, piloting and implementation

This session will be guest facilitated by Muhammed Rauf from Elysium London. It is open to you if you are a UK-based health or care professional, manager, researcher, student, patient, family carer, or Small to Medium sized Enterprise using a co-design process and methods to develop a digital health technology. You can be at any stage of a project.
