Case studies
Changing the future of personalised paediatric care together
.webp)
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.
