Digitally enabled Person Centred Health and Care (DePCHaC)is a product of the evolutions in technology, models of care, health related concepts and interdisciplinary applications. Person centred care (PCC) has long been a respected objective of health, care and consequently healthcare services. The practice of PCC has been dependent on discipline specific technological, logistical and clinical practice developments. Digitisation of technology for health and care however has enabled functionality and purpose of digital health tools to be designed for a person centric application. As such, the use of tools that support DePCHaC is part one path to achieving truly Person Centred Care.
