Inclusive Digital Health Strategies for Persons With Disabilities

The findings of this scoping review suggest that achieving health equity requires researchers to prioritize disability-specific metrics, conduct rigorous evaluations, and engage in participatory research with persons with disabilities. Governments should adopt international accessibility standards, developers should engage end users as codesigners, health systems should train clinicians in inclusive digital health, and civil society should advocate for inclusion and monitor compliance.
