Digital Health; Current Evidence and Future Perspectives

Özet

Digital health covers the use of emerging and ever sustaining information and communication technologies (ICTs) in all aspects of health and health related activities. It is actually a broad term that includes practises and outputs of several fields such as remote medicine, telemedicine, clinical information systems,mobile health (m-health), personalised health (p-health), virtual reality, data mining, artificial intelligence and finally big data. The digital era has radically changed the production of and access to information for people all around the world and this has also had influence on patient behaviours and physician-patient relationships as well (1-3).
