What is the Digital Maturity Index (DMI)?

The DMI is a tool developed by Colab to identify the digital health capabilities, needs, and opportunities of the organizations that make up the IPPF federation, with a focus on sexual and reproductive health.

More than a score, the DMI is a tool that helps organizations advance their digital transformation. This assessment enables each organization to understand how it currently uses technology, digital channels, data, and hybrid models of care in sexual and reproductive health.

The results help identify opportunities for improvement, define priorities, and strengthen digital interventions that are more accessible, inclusive, secure, and people-centered.

The model is organized into three strategic spheres and nine maturity dimensions.

Assessment Completed!
You can now view your results.

Based on this information, you can understand the organization’s level of progress across each dimension, sphere, and the overall result. These results should not be understood as a final score, but rather as a guide to identifying capabilities, gaps, and opportunities for improvement.

Each result is expressed across five levels: Initial, Emerging, Structured, Advanced, and Optimized. There is no “correct” level. Interpretation should take into account the institutional context, available resources, internal capabilities, legal framework, and strategic priorities of each Member Association or Collaborating Partner.

A lower level indicates opportunities to strengthen foundational elements and capabilities, while a higher level reflects significant progress and the potential to consolidate, evaluate, and sustainably scale digital practices.
