The Lancet FT Commission

The Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing health futures 2030: Growing up in a digital world

The Lancet and Financial Times Commission on Governing Health Futures 2030 explored how better digital and data governance can shape healthier futures for young people. As the first joint Lancet and Financial Times Commission, it examined digital health, AI and universal health coverage, with a focus on equity, particularly in low- and middle-income countries.

DTH-Lab was created to put the Commission’s recommendations into action — driving research, influencing policy, strengthening youth leadership, advancing value-based digital health and addressing the digital determinants of health.

Recommendations of the Commission report

Put young people at the centre

Young people need to be enfranchised to co-design and critically engage with digital first health systems as part of efforts to increase public participation and digital citizenship for health.

Enact value-based approaches to governing health futures

A mission-oriented, precautionary and value-based approach to digital and data governance is needed to build public trust in digital health ecosystems, address the unequal distribution of power and resources within and between countries and close digital divides. While governance frameworks across the world will continue to be shaped by diverse contexts, political systems and sociocultural norms, all approaches should be grounded in a common set of universal values. Specifically, any tension between health and digital transformations should be resolved in favour of the core values of ‘Health for All’ and the SDGs: democracy, equity, solidarity, inclusion and human rights.

Address the digital determinants of health

Policymakers and other actors must recognize the digital ecosystem as an increasingly important determinant of health, establish governance frameworks and regulatory responses in response to the direct and indirect DDoH, and close critical evidence gaps on the effects of DDoH and well-being.
