What Are the Benefits of Digital Health? With
its ability to help individuals monitor and
manage chronic illnesses, digital health has the
potential to reduce healthcare expenditures and
improve disease prevention efforts Medical

personalize treatment for each patient

health can also help the healthcare
practitioners themselves. By greatly expanding
access to health data and providing people with
more agency over their health, digital tools
provide healthcare practitioners with a
comprehensive picture of each individual's health
status. In turn, this leads to better medical
results and more efficiency. Information from the
U.S. Food and Medicine Administration website
reads as follows "From artificial intelligence
and machine learning to mobile medical
applications and software that support the
clinical decisions clinicians make every day,
digital technology has been driving a
transformation in health care. The use of digital
health technologies has great promise to advance
illness diagnosis and treatment, as well as the
quality of care provided to patients." Smartphon
es, social media, and internet apps all provide
patients with new tools for self-care and
information access. When taken as a whole, these
developments are "leading to a confluence of
people, information, technology, and connectivity
to enhance health care and health outcomes," as
stated by the FDA. The Food and Medicine
Administration claims that digital health
technologies make healthcare more efficient,
accessible, affordable, high-quality, and
individualized for patients. Additionally,
patients and consumers may manage and track
health and wellness-related activities more
effectively thanks to digital health technology

workers save time while leveraging cutting-edge
technology like VR tools, wearable medical
devices, telemedicine, and 5G to better care for
patients. Challenges of digital
health Patients, doctors, engineers, lawmakers,
and everyone else involved in healthcare face new
difficulties as a result of the industry's
digitization. Data interoperability is a
continuing difficulty because of the vast
volumes of data generated from different systems
that store and process data differently. Data
storage, access, sharing, and ownership are
additional problems, as are issues such as a
lack of digital literacy among patients, which
can lead to inequalities in healthcare

access. There is a direct correlation between
these worries and concerns about privacy and
safety. What if, for instance, businesses or
insurance providers wanted access to the findings
of their workers' direct-to-consumer genetic
testing? Or, imagine if there is a cyberattack on
the medical equipment. The intersection between
technology and ethics raises more worries. In the
case of surgical errors caused by the use of
medical robots, for instance, should we look to
the hospital, the creators or manufacturers of
the robot, the surgeon, or someone
else? Regulation and patient privacy To ensure
the privacy of medical records, the Health
Insurance Portability and Accountability Act
(HIPAA) of 1996 was passed in the United States.
The Health Information Technology for Economic
and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act was introduced
in 2009 as an amendment to HIPAA with the intent
of tightening the requirements for HIPAA
compliance. Nonetheless, some argue that the
laws do not go far enough to prevent unauthorized
access to patients' records, and that HIPAA's
rules are often disregarded. The proposed changes
to HIPAA's privacy and security standards, put
forth by the U.S. Department of Health and Human
Services (HHS) in late 2020, would impede the
healthcare industry's shift toward the value- and
quality-oriented model of care known as
value-based care by limiting patients' access to
their own health information.
