Love this keynote on #digitalhealth #equity @CourtneyRLyles #isrii11. We assume everyone has consistent access to wifi, devices, broadband but many groups who have the most need may not. How can we go beyond our typical spheres of influence to impact health? More info in paper 👇🏼 Image another takeaway: consider whether relying on a particular research method in #digitalhealth excludes certain groups (eg lower digital literacy, differential access to devices and internet connectivity). consider using multiple ways of gathering data during co-design #isrii11 Image

Went to an engaging workshop on Twitter for academics led by the fab @rdmersey, Professor & Assoc dean of research @MedillSchool @NorthwesternU. She grounded the talk in research on media & psychology (👌🏼) & since I still consider myself a twitter noob here were my takeaways: Consistency of engagement is more important than quantity of engagement. The algorithms reward you for regular logins, regular posts/engagement, regularly following people who share your interests. A minute of checking Twitter every day > bingeing on it once a week 🤳
