Changing the future of personalised paediatric care together

A child has a phone placed on the table, and is playing with the Little Journey app.

Background

Teenagers have distinct and well-documented developmental, behavioural, and healthcare needs that are often overlooked in healthcare environments, and many clinical trials face challenges in recruiting and retaining teenagers. We recognised an unmet need to better support young people aged 13 to 19.

Challenges

 Engagement with co-design 

To effectively work with teenagers as co-designers, we needed to facilitate engagement in a way that would ensure we genuinely represent their needs. 

 Accounting for diversity 

Within this age group there is wide variation in maturity, confidence, healthcare experience and digital behaviour. We needed to account for this diversity in our approach.
