ABSTRACT
Digital health innnovations have potential to improve health care, particularly in low-and middle income countries, yet few progress from concepts to implementation at scale. We present the Digital Intervetions Idea to Impact (DI3) roadmap, as a practical roadmap that maps the interconnected steps require to move digital health tools and interventions from initial concept through development, evaluation, health system integration and scale. Developed by a multi-disciplianry, cross-sector group with experience advancing digital health innovations across Africa, DI3, is intended to help diverse stakeholders anticipate requirements beyond their individual areas of expertise, identify gaps that may impede progress and coordinate more effectively toward sustainable and equitable health impact.
