Beskrivelse
We analyze the relationships between digital platforms, global public health and broader development processes through interventionist, action research methods, what we call Digital Platforms for Development (P4D). We focus on challenges of governance, participatory design, implementation and the impacts of these interventions on research, practice and society. The Information Systems research group is the research unit of the Health Information Systems Programme (HISP) at the Department of Informatics at the University of Oslo. HISP is a global movement to strengthen Health Information Systems in Developing countries that started in South Africa in the 1990s. HISP at UiO is one of the leading organisations in this movement and our contribution includes in-country capacity building and implementation support, research, a PhD program, and hosting the core DHIS2 software development team. HISP at design, implement and sustain Health Information Systems following a participatory approach. Our core aim is to support local management of health care delivery and information flows in selected health facilities, districts, and provinces, and its further spread within and across developing countries. We also explore spillover effects on other social domains, such as education. We promote our software, DHIS2, as a digital global public good.
