Abstract: The rapid digital transformation of healthcare elevates the importance of building a workforce with strong interdisciplinary competence and advanced data literacy. Through strengthening these capabilities, organizations can ensure that digital health innovations promote equity, enhance public trust, and improve the overall effectiveness of health systems. This perspective paper explores innovative pedagogical strategies to strengthen interdisciplinary readiness for the data-driven future of health. Traditional health education models often operate within disciplinary silos, limiting students’ ability to engage with complex, real-world challenges that require integrated knowledge across the health sciences, law, technology, data analytics, and social determinants of health. To address these limitations, the paper examines how curriculum redesign, applied learning, and interprofessional collaboration can break down disciplinary barriers. The proposed framework introduces four key pillars that include critical data literacy, applied ethics and anticipatory governance, cultural and contextual competence, and global regulatory fluency. These interconnected areas serve as a foundation for transforming education to meet the demands of a digitally integrated health landscape.
