Innovations in digital health technologies have become increasingly available for patients, providers, and health systems. There is a raft of technologies that could be considered digital health technologies, for example: apps aimed directly at patients and consumers; apps aimed at patients with the interaction with their clinicians; systems aimed at clinicians for example, decision support systems, and digital tools that can be implemented at a system level, such as electronic medical records. These technologies offer significant promise for improving patient outcomes and reducing inequities; however, these potential benefits need to be balanced against potential downsides. This session will consider how these innovative technologies can be considered within a health technology assessment framework, or other evaluation frameworks to measure how they improve patient health outcomes and equity.
