Towards Meaningful Engagement with Clinician Advisors: Lessons Learned Co-Creating a Digital Mental Health Tool

Abstract

In partnership with clinician advisors, a text-based program, BeWell, was co-created to support clinician well-being at a Canadian mental health hospital. This paper briefly describes the process of designing BeWell with clinician advisors and highlights key lessons learned in engaging clinicians as advisors in the design and development of a digital health intervention. The lessons learned can serve as best practices for health systems, organizations, and researchers to consider when engaging clinicians in the design, development, and implementation of digital health interventions.
