Illness & addiction: social aspects; Health systems & services

This book offers a comprehensive exploration of the dynamic relationship between digital technology and healthcare delivery, emphasising sustainable innovation in health services. It explores how digital technologies improve healthcare outcomes, enhance patient and community experiences, and streamline healthcare management, while addressing ethical, philosophical, and policy challenges tied to healthcare digitization.

Examining trends such as telemedicine, AI diagnostics, data security, and the Internet of Medical Things (IoMT), the book highlights global case studies, lessons learned, and strategies for integrating these technologies sustainably. It discusses the contextual, economic, and social impacts of digital health, presenting frameworks for their evaluation and improvement.

Advocating for regulatory policies that prioritise privacy, accessibility and enhance responsible initiative, the book calls for collaborative approaches. Aimed at healthcare professionals, policymakers, and academics, this resource provides insights into creating a more efficient and equitable healthcare system, aligning with the broader goals of public health and social justice.
