Digital Health Innovation by Design: A Logic Model Scaffold for Rural, Regional, and Remote Settings

Michelle Krahe, Nico Adams, Sarah Larkins · 2025 · International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health

Summary. Digital health innovations often fail in rural and remote settings despite their potential. This paper presents a logic model scaffold—a four-step iterative process for planning, implementing, and evaluating digital health interventions in these contexts. The approach emphasizes understanding local needs, aligning with system enablers, and embedding reflexivity to adapt to workforce realities and geographic constraints. A Northern Australian case example demonstrates how this method improves rigor and responsiveness.
