Digital Health: Implementing at Scale (How Can International and Bavarian Experiences Cross-Fertilize Each Other?)

Abstract

Digital health has existed for decades, but it gained traction only after the COVID-19 pandemic. In this session we discussed the scope and scale of digital health and what we have learned from the implementations at scale. The goal was to identify how other nations and healthcare systems can benefit from the lessons learned for the mass adoption of digital health. The session started with a quick overview about digital health at scale and why experience and best practice-sharing is integral to enhance the scope and increase the scale of digital health adoption. The session was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Pratap Gupta, a global expert on digital health and former advisor to the Health Minister of India, who then discussed the present digital health projects with the other digital health experts from this session. He shared the details of the PRICE Model on scaling up digital health interventions by the government and how it can be leveraged by organizations and governments across the globe.
