An Interactive Toolkit for Reporting Digital Health Implementations Based on the iCHECK-DH Guidelines and Checklist
ABSTRACT
Background:
Despite their potential, many digital health implementations fail to scale beyond pilot stages due to reporting challenges, stakeholder disengagement, and policy barriers. To improve documentation and knowledge sharing, the iCHECK-DH guidelines have been developed by global experts and implemented by Journal of Medical Internet Research as the required reporting standard for implementation reports.
Objective:
This study introduces an interactive iCHECK-DH toolkit designed to streamline reporting, facilitate knowledge sharing, and support scalability, demonstrating its practical application through a use case.
Methods:
The iCHECK-DH toolkit was developed through an iterative process informed by best practices for creating user-friendly toolkits. A multidisciplinary team designed the toolkit using the Fillout platform for its intuitive interface. It underwent expert reviews and pilot testing, with a real-world Family Planning Stock Management System in Sri Lanka serving as use case. The findings further refined the toolkit’s practicality and informed final improvements.
Results:
The interactive toolkit successfully translated the iCHECK-DH guidelines into a structured digital health implementations reporting tool, refining navigation, terminology, and usability based on feedback. Pilot testing confirmed its practicality and effectiveness, leading to targeted improvements.
Conclusions:
The iCHECK-DH toolkit complements the iCHECK-DH guidelines, enhances their functionality, and demonstrates their usability through a practical use case. It provides a structured approach to digital health reporting, supporting scalability and knowledge sharing in real-world implementations.
