随着数字技术在医疗保健中发挥越来越大的作用，以人为本的设计在全球健康领域越来越受欢迎。在人们担心这一趋势只不过是流行语的情况下，我们的论文阐明了以人为本的设计对全球健康公平的重要性。首先，我们通过强调工艺技能和迭代方法来重新构建设计和实施之间的关系，将设计学科与全球健康研究和创新的传统方法的区别置于背景下。其次，虽然对于“人”部分的含义没有明确的共识，但它通常意味着利益相关者的参与，增强人的技能，以及对人的价值的关注。最后，我们通过反思我们在70多个数字健康倡议中陪伴卫生工作者的经验来考虑以人为本的设计的实际意义。根据这些材料，我们将以人为本的设计描述为一种灵活而有纪律的创新方法，在复杂系统的设计中优先考虑人的需求和具体经验。
As digital technologies play a growing role in healthcare, human-centered design is gaining traction in global health. Amid concern that this trend offers little more than buzzwords, our paper clarifies how human-centered design matters for global health equity. First, we contextualize how the design discipline differs from conventional approaches to research and innovation in global health, by emphasizing craft skills and iterative methods that reframe the relationship between design and implementation. Second, while there is no definitive agreement about what the 'human' part means, it often implies stakeholder participation, augmenting human skills, and attention to human values. Finally, we consider the practical relevance of human-centered design by reflecting on our experiences accompanying health workers through over seventy digital health initiatives. In light of this material, we describe human-centered design as a flexible yet disciplined approach to innovation that prioritizes people's needs and concrete experiences in the design of complex systems.
