Article Synopsis
- Patient and Public Involvement and Engagement (PPIE) means including patients and the public in creating and using health technologies for brain-related diseases.
- A study looked at articles about how patient input was used in developing these digital health tools and found only a small number that really focused on this involvement.
- The review showed that PPIE isn't consistently reported, suggesting more examples and guidance are needed, and future studies should consider worldwide practices.
