Background Collaboration with diverse stakeholders in eHealth research is fundamental yet complex. Stakeholders from various disciplines do not “speak the same language” and have different levels of power and interest, resulting in contrasting objectives, priorities, and expectations. An approach to constructive communication and collaboration is necessary to overcome this complex dynamic. Cocreation, known in the field of eHealth most often to involve end users, may also be suitable for facilitating stakeholder engagement and alignment. Objective This paper provides insights into the application of cocreation, specifically in the early phases of research that focus on involving and aligning relevant stakeholders from different academic and professional backgrounds. Methods The case for this study was a group discussion with members of a multidisciplinary consortium that works on developing a personalized eHealth intervention for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. Using stakeholder mapping, health and medicine experts, big data scientists, software developers, and an innovation manager (N=8) were invited to participate. The discussion was based on a user scenario and structured according to the Six Thinking Hats of de Bono, representing 6 different types of thinking. The discussion was recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed thematically with the use of ATLAS.ti software. Results First, informative and intuitive thinking served the preparatory purpose of familiarization with the project details and other participants. Second, positive and critical thinking constituted the body of the discussion and resulted in an in-depth conversation. Third, creative and organizational thinking were action oriented and focused on solutions and planning to safeguard future progress. The participants repeatedly reflected on various intervention-related themes, ranging from intervention content to technical functionalities and from legal requirements to implementation in practice. Moreover, project-related matters were discussed, including stakeholder management and time and budget constraints. Conclusions This paper demonstrates how cocreation can be of value for multidisciplinary stakeholder engagement and alignment. Based on stakeholder mapping (with whom to discuss), a dream user scenario (what to discuss), and the Six Thinking Hats of de Bono (how to discuss), the participants shared information, discussed differences, searched for solutions, and moved toward a collective approach regarding intervention development. The lessons learned may further improve the understanding of how cocreation can contribute to multidisciplinary collaboration.

Aims: To assess the effect of ‘Six Thinking Hats’ training on creativity among adolescents. Study Design: Pre-post experimental control group design was used. Methodology: 200 participants were included (50 control group; 150 experimental group; age range 16-18 years) from different schools of Patiala and Sangrur using incidental sampling. The participants of the experimental group were given intervention over 4 weeks. Results: The results revealed that participants in the experimental group exhibited higher levels of creativity (M = 30.62) compared to the control group (M = 25.24). The intervention had a significant effect on creativity, as indicated by the statistically significant difference between the experimental and control groups [F (1, 198) = 42.11, P< .001]. Conclusion: The ‘Six Thinking Hats’ training yielded a statistically significant enhancement in creativity among the participants in the experimental group.
