How do we reimagine health in a digital age?

WHO Bulletin "Digital technologies, such as artificial intelligence, offer innovative solutions to some of the challenges of the sustainable development goals, particularly in resource-constrained settings. Digital solutions and artificial intelligence have the potential to transform health care and improve access to services by addressing financial, social or geographic factors. The digital future appears positive; however, we must also consider new ethical and human rights risks arising from the application of these technological developments in public health."
