Information and communication technologies have transformed all sectors of society. The health sector is no exception to this trend. In light of "digital health", we see multiplying numbers of web platforms and mobile health applications, often brought by new unconventional players who produce and offer services in non-linear and non-hierarchal ways, this by multiplying access points to services for people. Some speak of a "uberization" of healthcare. New realities and challenges have emerged from this paradigm, which question the abilities of health systems to cope with new business and economic models, governance of data and regulation. Countries must provide adequate responses so that digital health, based increasingly on disruptive technologies, can benefit for all.
信息和通信技术已经改变了社会的各个部门。卫生部门也不例外。鉴于“数字健康”,我们看到网络平台和移动健康应用程序的数量不断增加,这些往往是由新的非传统参与者带来的,他们以非线性和非等级化的方式生产和提供服务,从而增加了人们获取服务的途径。有人谈到了医疗保健的“优步化”。这种模式带来了新的现实和挑战,对卫生系统应对新的商业和经济模式、数据治理和监管的能力提出了质疑。各国必须做出适当回应,以便越来越基于颠覆性技术的数字健康能够惠及所有人。
