The digital health space offers numerous benefits such as improved patient outcomes, increased access to health care, reduced costs, and improved communication and collaboration between patients and health care providers. For example, patients can now monitor their vital signs such as blood pressure and glucose levels from home using wearable devices and share the data with their doctors in real-time. Telehealth technology allows patients to consult with their health care providers remotely without having to travel to the hospital, making health care more accessible, particularly in remote or rural areas.

7 Trusted Medical Journal Search Engines

Finding a medical journal search engine

Search engines are designed to integrate with an online academic database of archived published literature.

Ovid, Science Direct and Scopus require individual subscriptions and/or

The cost of some of these paywalls is very high  in many cases, and only suitable for academic research with formal research grants. They are not appropriate for individual searches.  PubMed, Medline are the most useful from personal experienc and will direct users to the source abstract and/or citation.
And of course Google Search will bring you to all of these search engines.
