Emerging from early of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has become one of the most serious health crisis globally. In response to such threat, a wide range of digital health applications has been deployed in Vietnam to strengthen surveillance, risk communication, diagnosis, and treatment of COVID-19. Digital health has brought enormous benefits to the fight against COVID-19, however, numerous constrains in digital health application remain. Lack of strong governance of digital health development and deployment; insufficient infrastructure and staff capacity for digital health application are among the main drawbacks. Despite several outstanding problems, digital health is expected to contribute to reducing the spread, improving the effectiveness of pandemic control, and adding to the dramatic transformation of the health system the post-COVID era.
自 2020 年初开始，COVID-19 大流行已成为全球最严重的卫生危机之一。为应对这一威胁，越南已部署了各种数字健康应用程序，以加强对 COVID-19 的监测、风险沟通、诊断和治疗。数字健康为抗击 COVID-19 带来了巨大的好处，但数字健康应用仍存在诸多限制。数字健康发展和部署缺乏强有力的治理；数字健康应用的基础设施和人员能力不足是主要的缺陷。尽管存在一些突出问题，但数字健康有望有助于减少传播，提高大流行控制的有效性，并在后 COVID-19 时代为卫生系统带来巨大变革。
