Abstract
Health services are essential for achieving high levels of population health, and providing these services necessitates the need for substantial investments in digital technologies to transform medical care. In terms of medical practitioners' responses to patients' responses, digital technologies have significantly increased operational efficiency. These instantaneous responses rely on billions of interconnected smart devices, such as mobile phones, large online data sets, relatively inexpensive computing resources, and advancements in machine learning and natural language processing. This review takes a systematic approach to examine digital innovations for public health responses to health services worldwide, as well as their impacts, ethics and privacy concerns, and challenges in implementation. The authors project the future of public health to become increasingly digital, and this chapter highlights technologies strengthening the delivery, management, and future preparedness for reliable health services.
