Abstract

The development, evaluation, and implementation of digital health interventions requires contributions from scientists, healthcare professionals, and developers. Albeit exciting, interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaboration is challenging and so often slow and its impact limited. By outlining challenges and potential action-oriented solutions we aim to stimulate meaningful interdisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations.
