Towards an inclusive digital health ecosystem

The United Nations (UN) defines digital inclusion as equitable, meaningful and safe access to the use, leadership and design of digital technologies, services and associated opportunities for all, regardless of location.1 Despite globalization and technological advancements, inequitable distribution of digital health benefits remains a critical challenge.Socioeconomically disadvantaged populations continue to be underserved,because ensuring that no one is left behind is difficult when relying solely on technological advancements to cover the most vulnerable, who can least afford digital technologies. Inclusive digital health should be a must, but efforts should go beyond technology.
