Jonathan Jackson unpacks the session he led at the Global Digital Health Forum called “Is the Digital Health Community Creating Better Jobs for Users?” In it, he discusses the idea of introducing a 10th Principle for Digital Development  'Make the users’ job better.'

Some topics covered in this conversation include:

• Why supporting and elevating the Frontline Worker is critical to the future of the digital health community (and Dimagi’s 5 year strategy)
• What would adding a 10th Principle for Digital Development look like?
• How prioritizing  the end user influences the quality of the work they’re doing
