DTH-Lab Research Fellows Dissemination Series

The Digital Transformations for Health Lab (DTH-Lab) research fellowship program provides students and early-career professionals from low and middle-income countries with valuable opportunities to contribute to specific areas of the Lab’s research and analysis.

This initiative aims to enhance the capacity of emerging health leaders to influence policy and governance related to the digital transformation of health. In 2024, DTH-Lab welcomed nine research fellows from Africa and Asia, who embarked on various digital health research projects. As their fellowship term concludes, this dissemination event two part series will be held to showcase their research findings, creating a body of work intended to inform policy changes, promote digital behavioral adaptations, and facilitate global knowledge sharing.

Digital transformations are shaping all aspects of our lives, including health. Digital innovations can help to improve young people’s health and well-being and achieve Universal Health Coverage (UHC) through their application in health systems, public health promotion and prevention, and personal self-management of health status and behaviours. Without good governance, digital transformations can undermine health and exacerbate inequality. As levels of connectivity increase, concerted efforts are required to ensure that digital technologies are harnessed in support of better health and well-being for all and the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030.

The 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 digital transformations for health co-created with young people.
