Digital Health

(1 Ethical & 2 Clinical Points)

Africa has become an emerging arena for digital health innovations directed at strengthening health care, in terms of both patient management and disease surveillance and prevention.  We are seeing an increased use of digital health solutions to help deal with health care systems that can be ill-equipped.   The digital health track at Africa Health online will be developed to look at the growth of digital health in different sectors of healthcare and how it will change the future of healthcare delivery in the continent.
