सारांश	Digital Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis (Digital IPA) applies the rigorous IPA framework — originally developed by Jonathan Smith to explore how individuals make sense of significant lived experiences — within digital data-collection environments. Participants are recruited and interviewed online (via video call, synchronous text chat, email, or digital diary), and the resulting transcripts and digital texts are analysed through the same close-reading, emergent-coding, and cross-case patterning procedures that define standard IPA. The digital setting both expands access to geographically dispersed or hard-to-reach participants and introduces distinct methodological considerations around rapport, embodied cues, and data authenticity.	Interpretive phenomenology is a qualitative research design that investigates the meaning people attribute to their lived experiences by combining phenomenological description with hermeneutic interpretation. Rooted in Heidegger's ontology and systematised for social and human sciences by Max van Manen, it moves beyond description to ask what an experience means within a person's broader lifeworld, cultural context, and situated understanding. The researcher's own interpretive horizon is treated as an analytical resource rather than a bias to eliminate.
