The digital health space refers to the integration of technology and health care services to improve the overall quality of health care delivery. It encompasses a wide range of innovative and emerging technologies such as wearables, telehealth, artificial intelligence, mobile health, and electronic health records (EHRs). 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. Artificial intelligence can be used to analyze vast amounts of patient data to identify patterns, predict outcomes, and provide personalized treatment recommendations. Overall, the digital health space is rapidly evolving, and the integration of technology in health

Corona Virus: Robots takes over COVID-19 disinfection work in China,

 As China struggles to contain the spread of the deadly novel coronavirus (COVID-19), robots were being deployed in the country's front lines in an effort to combat the disease.

The development came to light after a video was shared by one of the country's leading media outlets with the caption: "Robots are taking over the disinfection work and expected to be put into use in factories and other public indoor spaces in different cities of China."

In the video, a robotic sprayer can be seen on a street that can help reduce the transmission of the COVID-19 in heavily populated urban areas.

Besides disinfection and street patrols, the robot was also deployed to deliver food and medicine in quarantine wards.

Netizens have hailed the Chinese government's initiative to deploy robots and said that it could help in improving sanitation levels, which would result in the drastic reduction of the number of patients.

A user wrote: "Robots are taking over! The only job left for humans is elder care, even the robots won't do it."

 Another wrote: "Looks like a leaf blower on a skateboard. I'd be more impressed if it moved like the Boston dynamics doggo but could fog your face even if you kicked it."


 "Interesting how China already had these disinfectant robots at the ready, hummmmmm. Makes one wonder," another post read

The overall death toll in mainland China increased to 2,236 on Friday, while the number of confirmed cases reached 75,465.

 The use of robots to disinfect or perform other important tasks (emergency services, transportation, medical services and supplies, and food delivery) in quarantine zones reduces the possibility of further spread of viral outbreaks.
