DIGITAL HEALTH TRANSFORMATION IN RESOURCE-LIMITED SETTINGS

The adoption of digital health technologies has significantly improved healthcare delivery worldwide, yet resource-limited settings face unique challenges in implementing these innovations. This study explores the transformation of healthcare through digital tools such as telemedicine, electronic health records, mobile health applications, and connected medical devices in low-resource environments. Key barriers identified include limited infrastructure, high implementation costs, lack of trained personnel, and connectivity issues. Despite these challenges, evidence suggests that appropriately designed digital health interventions can enhance access to care, improve patient monitoring, support clinical decision-making, and strengthen health system efficiency. The annotation underscores the importance of context-specific strategies, capacity-building, and sustainable policies to maximize the benefits of digital health transformation in under-resourced regions.
