Funders can champion the DUAL model and invest in programming that reflects its findings and recommendations. Funding organizations may operate at a global or regional scale, including foundations and multilateral organizations. They fund and support evidence-based interventions that have been shown to achieve system-wide results, demonstratable scale, and a return on investment. The DUAL model helps funders invest in country-driven digital health programming, while promoting integrated, interoperable digital tools and approaches.

Implementers can apply the DUAL model to current and future projects to optimize the impact of digital and data interventions. Implementers work closely with different government ministries and departments, as well as other global partners, to ensure digital and data interventions can be implemented, scaled, and sustained.

Policymakers can champion the DUAL model and develop policies and guidance in accordance with its recommendations. Policymakers develop standards and policies for digital health. They review and synthesize the current evidence base for digital and data interventions to enact new guidance on the use and scale-up of digital health solutions for countries’ health systems. The DUAL model helps policymakers establish governance bodies, guidance, and technology standards in support of countries’ national digital health strategies.
