Robin van Kessel: Addressing Health Determinants in a Digital Age
Robin van Kessel, Assistant Professor at Maastricht University and André Hoffmann Fellow at LSE Health & World Economic Forum, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“Excited to share the freshly published project report: Addressing Health Determinants in a Digital Age – a continuation of the joint project between The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE) and WHO Regional Office for Europe that explored individual determinants of health in a digital context.
In our previously shared scientific article, we focused on identifying key individual digital, social, political, and commercial determinants. This report expands on that foundation by investigating how these determinants are interlinked within a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem.
Key highlights from the report:
– A novel conceptual framework based on 127 determinants of health in the digital age, organized into person-specific, community, technology-related, policy, and societal categories.
– Insights into how digital determinants like internet access, data infrastructures, and AI policies intersect with traditional determinants, reshaping health outcomes.
– Action points for the health determinants that were considered most urgent to address.
The report emphasizes that health outcomes in the digital era are no longer shaped by isolated factors—they are the result of intricate networks of determinants that require cross-sectoral strategies and collaboration.
