Abstract

Innovations in, and the use of emerging information and communications technology (ICT) has rapidly increased in all development contexts, including healthcare. It is believed that the use of appropriate technologies can increase the quality and reach of both information and communication. However, decisions on what ICT to adopt have often been made without evidence of their effectiveness; or information on implications; or extensive knowledge on how to maximise benefits from their use. While it has been stated that ‘healthcare ICT innovation can only succeed if design is deeply informed by practice’,1 the large number of ‘failed’ ICT projects within health indicates the limited application of such an approach.
