Abstract
This article contributes to the New Public Service by offering a perspective that promotes a more participatory public governance by involving citizens and street-level bureaucrats in the overall design of public services.

In order to do this, the article analyzes 19 innovative experiences put forward by healthcare professionals and that are related to the implementation of information and communications technology (ICT) in healthcare. The results of this research contribute to the construction of a model for the design of public services focused on the social needs of the population.
