A new digital health innovation toolkit, developed through a partnership between senior Indonesian health leaders and Australia's Monash University researchers, aims to support digital health reform from the ground up by establishing value-based digital health practices in Indonesia.
The Value-Based Digital Health Innovation Canvas (VDHIC) was developed by nine Indonesian Fellows, guided by Monash University digital health researchers, to help turn Indonesia’s national digital health goals into practical, enduring real-world solutions. This initiative is funded by the Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) through the Australia Awards Fellowships programme.
Australia Awards Fellowships aim to build networks of influence and leadership by strengthening partnerships between Australian organisations and partner organisations in the region. Fellowships target senior and mid-career officials and professionals who are in a position to advance development outcomes in priority areas and increase the institutional capacity of partner countries through their leadership.
The new digital health innovation toolkit is designed specifically for Indonesia’s complex health system and regulatory environment and aligns with the country’s national health data platform SATUSEHAT, its regulatory sandbox initiatives and national health priorities.
The VDHIC provides a roadmap for any hospital or healthcare provider to implement digital health initiatives while focusing on five aims; population health, patient experience, provider satisfaction, cost efficiency and health equity.
The toolkit also builds in regulatory, clinical, data and technology governance from the beginning, supporting safe and scalable innovation.
