The Impact of Digital Health Technologies on Healthcare Practices

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of digital health technologies on contemporary healthcare practices through a mixed-methods approach. A systematic literature review is conducted to identify relevant studies, reports, and articles. Empirical data are collected through surveys, interviews, and case studies to assess adoption rates, efficacy, challenges, benefits, patient satisfaction, impact on healthcare outcomes, and future prospects of digital health technologies. Key findings reveal high adoption rates of telemedicine platforms, electronic health records (EHRs), and remote patient monitoring systems, along with their significant efficacy in improving healthcare delivery. Despite facing challenges such as regulatory barriers and interoperability issues, digital health technologies offer numerous benefits, including improved access to care, enhanced care coordination, and increased efficiency. Patient satisfaction with these technologies is generally high, contributing to positive healthcare outcomes such as improved patient outcomes and reduced hospital readmissions. Looking ahead, respondents express optimism about the expansion and integration of digital health technologies in healthcare practices. This study contributes to a deeper understanding of the transformative role of digital health technologies in shaping the future of healthcare delivery.
