Young Adults’ Digital Health Charter Launch Webinar

This event presented the Charter’s 10 principles and provided background into its co-development with young adults. We invited Digital Health stakeholders from public health, the NHS, industry, academia, and young people's engagement work to hear more about this work and discuss its implications for policy and practice.  

The Young Adults’ Digital Health Charter explores the unique needs and desires that young adults’ hold for Digital Health, providing insight into areas for impactful digital health innovation and potential risks. You can read the Full Charter Report and a Charter Report Briefing; as well as a short animated video on key insights. 

We include a recording of the Charter launch webinar (above) and an overview of the agenda (below), with the starting times of different sections provided.
