Evaluating digital health solutions: How to know which solutions will bring value to your organization?

Join Dr. Simon Mathews as he takes us on a deep dive into how to best evaluate digital health solutions for your organization. The environment in which we live is being transformed by digital technology, and healthcare is following suit. Digital technology is having an impact on every element of our healthcare, just like it is on our banks, cars, or personal leisure. Digital health currently encompasses a wide range of technologies, including telehealth services, wearables, electronic health records, and more. With the aid of these technologies, health risks may be evaluated, diagnoses can be made, and populations and individuals can be continuously monitored. The sector was valued at $USD 211 billion in 2022 1 and is projected to rise by more than 18% by 2030, driven by rising acceptability, the desire to lower healthcare costs, and an increase in the prevalence of chronic diseases.
