Co-development of a tool to help clinicians decide upon the trustworthiness of Patient Generated Health Data

Patient-Generated Health Data (PGHD) holds promise for enhancing personalized healthcare, but its diverse origins pose trust challenges for clinicians. This article outlines the collaborative creation of the PGHD Trust Canvas, a tool devised to help clinicians evaluate the trustworthiness of PGHD in their decision-making processes. Developed through an iterative design process and informed by interviews with nine clinicians from various disciplines, the PGHD Trust Canvas draws inspiration from similar existing models like the Business Model Canvas, the Trust Canvas and the Ethics Canvas. It offers a structured approach for clinicians to assess PGHD systematically, aiming to facilitate its appropriate integration into clinical decisions. This initiative represents a significant step toward leveraging PGHD safely and effectively in healthcare.
