Health IT and digital health: The future of health technology is diverse
Journal Title: Journal of Clinical and Translational Research - Year 2018, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
When discussing the future of technologies in healthcare, one must make a clear distinction between issues regarding IT (Information technology) and digital health. The two areas are often intermingled while their nature and the solution they require are different on many scales. In a nutshell, IT issues impact physicians' everyday job the most but can be dealt with in the short term. Digital health has more impact on cultural changes and entails a long-term process.
