Abstract: Whether we like it or not, technology has become part of our lives and, at the same time, it has undoubtedly helped people become more informed and connected. Reducing healthcare costs and improving patient outcomes are benefits of implementing modern technologies in the medical sector. Digital health can significantly improve the productivity of an organization or nation, including at the individual level, and if digital healthcare solutions are made at an affordable cost, digital health could be a response to emerging market challenges to grow sustainable and improve health systems to provide patient-centred care, meaning accessibility and quality. This paper assesses trends in demographic evolution and their influence on digital health innovation as well as emerging trends as a result of healthy aging.
