SDWG long-term collaborator Dr. Allison Crawford and SDWG Canadian Head of Delegation Sarah Cox engaged in discussions with esteemed experts about advances and challenges to digital solutions in healthcare for Northern and Indigenous communities in the Arctic region at Arctic Frontiers Abroad in Ottawa, Canada. Yesterday’s event explored the potential of digital health solutions to meet the unique needs of rural and remote Arctic communities. Key messages: 📌 Trust is fundamental when implementing any health solution in Indigenous and local Arctic communities. Healthcare providers and organizations must engage in meaningful and respectful, ongoing dialogue, that actively involves communities. 📌 One-size-fits-all solutions often fail in Arctic communities due to their unique social, cultural, and environmental contexts. Successful digital health initiatives must be co-designed with the communities they serve, ensuring that the solutions are adapted to local health priorities, languages, and cultural practices. 📌 Digital health solutions must account for significant infrastructure limitations, unreliable internet connectivity, limited access to healthcare practitioners and facilities, and geographical isolation, including potential barriers to building trust over digital platforms. 📌 Peer-to-peer support networks, where individuals with lived experiences provide guidance and support to other community members, can be highly effective in Indigenous and local communities in the Arctic region. The SDWG continues to prioritize culturally informed projects with Permanent Participants of the Arctic Council that focus on health and youth mental health and well-being to ensure thriving Arctic communities through projects like Local2Global and CREATeS. Thank you to Arctic Frontiers for an invitation to participate in this event. Photos: Courtesy of the Royal Norwegian Embassy in Ottawa
