As the world continues to grapple with COVID-19, we have seen our already stretched health systems face additional strains under the pandemic with millions of individuals unable to access care.
Self-care interventions, while not new, are among the most promising approaches to improving health and well-being, both from a health systems perspective and for end-users–particularly for vulnerable persons such as those negatively affected by gender, political, cultural and power dynamics. As we work towards universal health coverage (UHC), rapid advancement in medical and digital technologies is accelerating the range of interventions which were previously delivered by clinical providers that can now be acquired and managed more directly by individuals.
