Our Approach: Co-Design & Participatory Research The science of collaboration
Across all domains, VOH.CoLAB uses co-design and participatory research to ensure solutions are shaped by the people who will use and deliver them. We engage patients, clinicians, managers, and policymakers early and throughout the process to:
- Identify real needs and barriers
- Co-develop features, workflows, and evaluation metrics
- Strengthen adoption and implementation readiness
Why it matters
Co-design isn’t an add-on – it’s a set of scientific methods that increase usability, trust, sustainability, and long-term adoption. It ensures every solution we help develop is clinically meaningful, operationally feasible, and valuable to all stakeholders.
