How Digital Health is Revolutionizing Healthcare and Contributing to Positive Health Outcomes
Abstract
Digital health has been instrumental in revolutionizing healthcare by ensuring continuity of care, personalizing care, reducing errors and wastage, improving diagnostic accuracy, providing clinicians with decision-making support, and facilitating treatment and care beyond the clinical setting. All these benefits improve the quality of care and lead to positive health outcomes. It also improves patient satisfaction with care. Digital health can also be used to address the challenges that are currently facing healthcare systems. For instance, digital health can help to address the challenge of limited access. Digital health can also help to address the increasing patient needs and demands. However, the integration of digital health in healthcare systems still remains a challenge. Privacy and confidentiality concerns are major issues. Because of the nature of data stored in these systems, security breaches can have negative outcomes on care. Accuracy and reliability of data are also issues of concern. Addressing these challenges can make healthcare systems realize the benefits of digital technologies.
