Digital health innovations are reshaping global healthcare systems by enhancing access, efficiency, and quality of care. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, telemedicine, mobile health applications, and big data analytics have been widely applied to support disease surveillance, enable remote care, and improve clinical decision making. This review critically identifies persistent implementation challenges that hinder the equitable adoption of digital health solutions, such as the digital divide, limited infrastructure, and weak data governance, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It aims to propose strategic pathways for integrating digital innovations to strengthen universal health coverage (UHC) and bridge health disparities in the region. By analyzing the best global practices and emerging innovations, this study contributes to the ongoing dialogue on leveraging digital health for inclusive, scalable, and sustainable healthcare delivery in underserved regions.
数字健康创新正在通过提高医疗服务的可及性、效率和质量来重塑全球医疗体系。人工智能、远程医疗、移动健康应用和大数据分析等技术已被广泛应用于支持疾病监测、实现远程护理以及改善临床决策。本综述批判性地识别了阻碍数字健康解决方案公平应用的持续存在的实施挑战,例如数字鸿沟、基础设施有限以及数据治理薄弱,尤其是在低收入和中等收入国家(LMICs)。其目的是提出整合数字创新的战略途径,以加强全民健康覆盖(UHC)并弥合该地区的健康差距。通过分析全球最佳实践和新兴创新,本研究有助于就利用数字健康在服务不足地区提供包容性、可扩展和可持续的医疗服务展开持续对话。
