ABSTRACT

This research aims to evaluate the effectiveness of digital health technologies and identify the factors driving their success by examining patients' perceptions to understand the benefits and challenges related to digital health technologies. Moreover, the study considers the role of demographic variables in affecting adoption and effectiveness of such technologies in order to support healthcare providers, policymakers, and technology developers, guiding them to enhance digital health solutions’ design and implementation. The studyconcluded that digital health technologies have empowered patients to effectively engage in their health management, especially with chronic diseases. Such technologies provide tools for patients to monitor their health conditions, access medical information and effectively communicate with healthcare providers. Additionally, telemedicine has emerged as a vital tool for overcoming geographical barriers, thereby improving access to healthcare services in underserved areas and for individuals with mobility limitations. Medical wearables enable real-time health monitoring, which contributes to making early diagnosis and proactive management of health problems, improving health outcomes and reducing burdens suffered by health facilities. Electronic health records (EHRs) have facilitated sharing information among healthcare providers, thereby enhancing coordination in healthcare and reducing any potential medical errors.
