Identifying Relevant Stakeholders in Digital Healthcare

Abstract

AbstractIn recent times, considerable attention has been given to digital services, mainly digital healthcare, i.e., health and well-being applications and services by health organizations, practitioners, and researchers. One of the significant challenges for today’s digital health and well-being applications and services is that they are not sustainable and focusing less on relevant stakeholders. However, to the best of our knowledge, little is known about relevant stakeholders in the digital health and well-being applications and services, precisely identifying them using an appropriate method. This paper seeks to define and identify the relevant stakeholders in the digital health and well-being applications and services. A literature review is conducted based on relevant articles on stakeholders within the health domain. Hence, the narrative synthesis literature review approach has been used with a combination of the Bryant model of stakeholder-issue interrelationship. We identified relevant stakeholders who may build a better future to enhance the efficacy of the digital health and well-being applications and services in the long run and suggested a future study on value propositions.KeywordsRelevant stakeholdersDigital healthcareNarrative synthesis literature reviewBryant modelSustainability
