Our Digital Health is a research project that looks at how people with learning disabilities use technology for health and wellbeing.

Funded by the National Institute for Health and Care Research, the project explores the different ways people experience digital health—seeing what works well for them and what could be improved.

By working closely with people with learning disabilities, the project aims to make digital health more inclusive and helpful for everyone.

This project is funded by the NIHR The Health and Social Care Delivery Research (HSDR) Programme [Ref: NIHR153571]. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the NIHR or the Department of Health and Social Care.
