Introduction
| [In focus] The DC on Digital Health is conducting an annual study on the 'State of Digital Health – 2022'. To contribute to the study, please fill in the survey https://tinyurl.com/DC-DigitalHealth2022 . We will share the findings in the form of a detailed report. |
COVID-19 has brought to focus the importance of using technology for healthcare delivery at all levels, be it primary, secondary, or tertiary care. It is time that healthcare systems across the globe adopt and incorporate Internet and Internet-based technologies across the continuum of care. We must strive and work together to galvanize all stakeholders so that the three-tiered healthcare system becomes four-tiered to include digital health as the base tier.
The Dynamic Coalition on Digital Health is not just timely but critical to showcase and enhance the role of the Internet and the Internet of things in digital health. This will aim to boost the adoption of digital health to make healthcare become affordable, effective, and outcome-driven, with patient centricity as its overarching theme.
Goals
- Galvanize stakeholders from across the globe in digital health through this dynamic coalition on a single platform.
- Engage global stakeholders and grassroots organizations to address the critical issues for the success of digital health across developed, developing, and underdeveloped economies.
- Showcase the implementers at the annual IGF and disseminate the information needed to boost the adoption of digital health.
- Work together with clinicians and allied health professionals besides the healthcare managers across the private and public sectors to boost the adoption of digital health.
