Healthcare-Digital Inclusion Feedback Loop Framework

Poduval et al. use health equity frameworks for digital inclusion, but reverse transfer is untapped. This idea adapts digital inclusion tactics (e.g., refurbished phones for affordability) to healthcare access gaps (e.g., diabetic ulcer monitoring). Conversely, healthcare models (e.g., community health workers) could train "digital health ambassadors" in libraries. We’d test this bidirectional approach in underserved areas, measuring cross-sector outcomes (e.g., telehealth adoption + financial service use). Innovation: Breaks silos between fields—turning digital exclusion from a standalone issue into a social determinant of health.
