Digital Health Inequities

Digital health inequities are health inequities caused or exacerbated by introducing digital technology in health and social care settings. Digital health inequities are an increasingly important topic within health research and policy, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic showed the impact technology can have on people’s access to health services.

In keeping with this growing importance, there is an expanding community in Greater Manchester with an interest in this topic. The Pankhurst Digital Health Inequities Programme aims to bring together this community and establish a collaborative programme of research on tackling digital health inequities.

Seminars


We organise monthly seminars on topics relevant to digital health inequities.

Case Studies


This section presents case studies that illustrate how digital health inequities can be tackled.
