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.

They analyzed questions like the ones below in detail:

- Does the country have a separate department/agency / national working group for digital health?

- Is there a national plan specific to emerging technologies (e.g., AI, Wearables, Blockchain, IoT) to support public health goals?

- Is there a law to protect individual privacy, governing ownership, consent, access, and sharing of individually identifiable digital health data?

- Is digital health part of the curriculum for health and health-related support professionals in training, in general?

- Are current country digital health initiatives contributing to public health reporting and decision-making?
