Abstract: Abstract Digital health is transforming healthcare delivery through technologies such as telemedicine, artificial intelligence, wearable devices, and electronic health records. These innovations are making healthcare more patient-centered, accessible, and efficient. As demand increases due to aging populations, rising healthcare costs, and workforce shortages, healthcare organizations and providers are adopting digital solutions to enhance care quality, optimize resources, and balance workloads. This chapter introduces the core technologies driving digital health, presents two real-world case studies, and discusses key challenges, requirements, and a future vision for successful digital health adoption.
