Abstract

Digital healthcare is a very important topic in our modern era. We can define digital healthcare as a service where patients can get services according to their needs using appropriate technology for efficient and reliability. Some of the notable services in these areas are telemedicine, electronic health records (EHR), mobile health (m-Health), wearable health devices, artificial intelligence-driven diagnostics, robot-assisted surgery, and big data analytics. Digital healthcare is essentially a technology-based approach to making healthcare more efficient, accessible, and accessible to people. This use of technology enables early detection of diseases, the creation of personalized treatment plans, and direct and regular monitoring of patients. There are several advances in healthcare systems and at the same time some important development happened in recent past in India. This paper has discussed several initiatives of Digital Healthcare Systems dedicated for the new age healthcare transformation and sustainability systems including some of the issues and concern in brief.
