Objective This study aims to explore young people's perspectives of emerging technologies and health systems research in an adolescent health community of practice. Methods The context of this integrated knowledge translation study is the Wellbeing Health & Youth Centre of Research Excellence in Adolescent Health. A theory-building, non-systematic review was conducted to examine the concepts and interrelationships of emerging technologies associated with digital innovation and health systems. This typology informed the design of an online workshop with young people to explore their views, concerns, and ideas about health systems research. Results A digital innovation typology was identified to differentiate and explain emerging technology concepts and interrelationships that can be applied to the health systems context. Aligned with this typology, youth perspectives about digital health challenges and opportunities were identified to support future research, policy, and practice. Conclusion The integrated findings from this study can assist the navigation of complex emerging technologies, and the negotiation of equitable health systems research, between youth and adult stakeholders. Further, with these typology-related resources, mutual learning and the public involvement of young people in health systems research and priority setting agendas can be supported.
