In recent years, and expedited during the COVID-19 pandemic, digital health technologies have been rapidly evolving and we have seen how these technologies have had a significant impact on patient care and safety internationally, as well as on global population health. Many organizations are rethinking their strategies to find better ways to adapt and improve the health ecosystem.
