Use of modern technologies for promoting health at the population level in India.

India, with a population of 1.4 billion, faces health equity challenges due to inaccessible public health systems, particularly in rural areas. Modern technologies like the internet and mobile phones are being used to bridge this gap, enhancing health equity by disseminating vital health information. Health Technology Assessment (HTA) evaluates these technologies, influencing healthcare policy and improving health outcomes. Key strategies include digital health hubs, mobile health units, public-private partnerships, and digital tools for community health workers. To scale these interventions, capacity building, infrastructure development, community engagement, and monitoring are required. Policymakers are urged to prioritize investments in health technologies based on evidence, considering cost-effectiveness, health outcomes, and health equity. Addressing data privacy and security is crucial. Future research should focus on technology-based interventions for maternal and child health.
