The READI Project: How Inclusivity Can Be Operationalized at the System Level – IHI READI
IHI READI shared a post on LinkedIn:
“READI featured as part of the Best Student Abstract Award at the Digital Public Health Conference | Funchal, Portugal
The IHI-funded READI project proudly contributed to the award-winning research presented at this year’s Digital Public Health (DPH) 2025 Conference, held in Funchal.
The paper, ‘Implementation by Inclusivity in European Health System-Level Digital Solutions,’ was honoured with the Best Student Abstract Award, recognising its commitment to equity and inclusion in digital health pathways.
The abstract was led by Carina Dantas and co-authored by Paloma Moraga Alapont, Miriam Cabrita, Lars Münter and Nina Sønderberg, and presented on the final day of the conference.
Drawing from the experiences and findings of several pioneering European health initiatives, the paper explores how digital transformation in healthcare must be inclusive by design, engaging underserved and underrepresented stakeholders.
The READI framework and approach was also presented by Paloma Arapont at the tutorial, AMR Data Surveillance for Targeted OneHealth Action, a working session highlighting the need for data platforms and digital tools that empower communities in science, development and solutions, co-chaired by Lars Munter and Carina Dantas
The READI project plays a central role in this body of work. It aims to ensure that innovation in cancer diagnostics reduces health inequalities across diverse population groups. By embedding equity as a core principle, READI informs practical strategies for system-level adoption of digital solutions — from participatory design to multi-stakeholder collaboration.
Quoting Paloma, ‘The READI project, with its emphasis on reducing disparities in clinical trials, provides a solid foundation for demonstrating how inclusivity can be operationalized at the system level.’
Carina added: ‘This recognition highlights the importance of inclusive implementation in digital health systems’.
The DPH 2025 Conference, organized by the UCL Centre for Digital Public Health in Emergencies, gathered leading researchers, policy makers, and innovators from across Europe and beyond.
