ABSTRACT

Digital health represents a paradigm shift in healthcare, bringing together cutting-edge technology such as telemedicine, wearable devices, and mobile health applications. These technologies have transformed how patients are monitored, diagnosed, and treated, resulting in more individualized care and better patient outcomes. The advancement of digital health has enabled more efficient data collecting, real-time feedback, and proactive management of chronic diseases. Despite its numerous advantages, the adoption of digital health solutions confronts hurdles such as privacy issues, technical limits, and the digital divide. This study investigates the role of digital health in improving patient outcomes, presents successful case studies, and considers potential barriers to widespread adoption.
