Sammanfattning
This brief presents strategies on digital health as
developed by the World Bank and WHO. While
Health Information Systems have been around for
decades in some high-income regions, the advent
of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and mobile devices
have been extremely disruptive technologies in
the digital health space. These technologies are
used for myriad tasks, at all levels of the healthcare
system, and the reviewed documents touch
on how they can be implemented in a manner
that results in a higher standard of care for
patients,
rather than complications. These docu-
ments highlight the significant challenges that
need to be addressed, particularly in the context
of sexual and reproductive health and rights
(SRHR) and low- and middle-income country
(LMIC) settings, where bias in data can adversely
impact the performance and effectiveness of
digital
health systems. However, if implemented
appropriately, digital health applications have the
potential to reshape the interconnectedness and
capabilities of health care systems globally.
