Digital health innovation can reduce the climate impact of care and improve its resilience in the face of climate shocks and stresses through mobile and virtual forms of care delivery, and by mobilizing health and care data to engage the health workforce, create efficiencies and inform decision-making for high quality care.
At the same time, information and communications technologies are associated with a host of environmental and social harms, and our growing reliance on health data and AI-driven data analytics has the potential to outweigh any efficiency-driven improvements, while accelerating low value care.
Given the transformative potential of digital health innovation and the expertise and commitments of community members, sustainable digital health transformation is thus a priority area of research focus.
