We are pleased to share the freshly published project report: Addressing Health Determinants in a Digital Age – a continuation of the joint project between LSE Health and WHO Regional Office for Europe that explored individual determinants of health in a digital context. Spearheaded by our Digital Health Unit, colleagues contributed research that identified key individual digital, social, political, and commercial determinants of digital health. This report expands on that foundation by investigating how these determinants are interlinked within a rapidly evolving digital ecosystem. Key highlights from the report: ✨ A novel conceptual framework based on 127 determinants of health in the digital age, organized into person-specific, community, technology-related, policy, and societal categories. ✨ Insights into how digital determinants like internet access, data infrastructures, and AI policies intersect with traditional determinants, reshaping health outcomes. ✨ Action points for the health determinants that were considered most urgent to address. The report emphasizes that health outcomes in the digital era are no longer shaped by isolated factors—they are the result of intricate networks of determinants that require cross-sectoral strategies and collaboration. 🔗 You can explore the full report here: https://lnkd.in/eP_nB5ph 🔗 The corresponding scientific article here: https://lnkd.in/eDEbEJCd 🔗 And read the accompanying news story summarizing the findings here: https://lnkd.in/e8PutSzf #DigitalHealth #PublicHealth #DigitalRegulation #AI Robin van Kessel Laure-Elise Seghers George Wharton Michael Anderson Giovanni Monti Madeleine Haig Jelena S.

Director, Digital solutions. Dedicated to digitalizing healthcare with equity and compassion.
In depth analysis of the digital factors that affect our health and that impact who will benefit and who will be left behind in our digital world. Important insights.
💡 Publication alert on digital determinants of health! Health and well-being are shaped by countless factors—often referred to as social determinants. But in our increasingly digitalised world, what role do #digital determinants of health play? Together with The London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE), our team at the WHO Regional Office for Europe and other WHO colleagues, along with experts on the subject, identified 127 key digital factors affecting health, especially: 🌐 access to the internet 🖥 availability of devices and software 🧑🏻💻 digital literacy 🗑 moderation of harmful content online 📲 algorithmic transparency This shows how pervasive digital content can be enabled through the combined influence of digital, commercial, economic, and political factors across different levels of governance, reinforcing the importance of an equitable and sustainable digital transformation. While younger and healthier populations are better equipped to use digital tools, they are also more likely to be exposed to their adverse effects. In contrast, older people, those living with disabilities or chronic illness, migrants or other vulnerable groups, may gain the most from digital tools, but are at risk of being excluded. Ironically, this also means they are among the best protected from negative factors. Improving digital access and literacy, placing individuals at the centre of the digital health design process, can help ensure safe and equitable solutions for everyone. Finally, we must consider how the digital divides evolve over time: basic digital technologies like phones and computers are still not accessible to everyone equally, while advanced tools such as artificial intelligence (AI), blockchain and spatial computing, may leave even more communities at risk of exclusion. We are proud to announce this study during the #RC74CPH week, where the progress report on our Regional #DigitalHealth Action Plan is being presented (more on that later this week). This publication is already available in the @Bulletin of the World Health Organization (to be included in the issue of February 2025) and an extended version will be published in mid-November as a WHO report. A huge thank you to Robin van Kessel, Elias Mossialos, and the many partners and experts who have contributed to this vital research, and to Natasha Azzopardi Muscat and WHO Regional Director for Europe Hans Kluge for always championing digital health🙏.

So what does the future of population Health Management look like? Looking ahead, PHM will likely involve more advanced digital health technologies. For instance... ✅ Genomics and Precision Medicine: The integration of genomics data with digital health tools could enable highly personalized public health initiatives, tailored to the genetic profiles of specific populations. ✅ Digital Twins: The concept of digital twins—virtual replicas of patients that can be used to simulate health outcomes—could revolutionize how we model population health. ✅ AI-Driven Public Health Initiatives: AI will likely play a key role in analyzing vast amounts of data, identifying trends, and predicting future health challenges. Leveraging the power of digital health data will create healthier, more resilient populations.

Congratulations to Pan American Health Organization on the release of "Q&A on Artificial Intelligence for Supporting Public Health"! 🌎 This publication is a comprehensive resource designed to help integrate #AI into #publichealth strategies. It covers a wide range of practical applications, such as enhancing disease surveillance, optimizing vaccination distribution, and addressing health disparities. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dsbGMfJT The guidelines delve into real-world cases where AI has been successfully implemented in medical image analysis, patient care, and treatment planning. They also emphasize crucial aspects like ethical considerations, data privacy, and the importance of avoiding algorithmic biases to ensure AI is used responsibly and equitably. 🤔 One example? The Q&A covers the use of AI in disease outbreak prediction. AI models can analyze diverse data sources, such as social media, online searches, and sensor data, to predict disease outbreaks and monitor their progression. This early detection and tracking capability is crucial for timely public health interventions and resource allocation, demonstrating AI's practical impact on improving public health outcomes. This resource is incredibly useful for public health professionals, policymakers, and AI enthusiasts. It provides a solid foundation for understanding the potential of AI in public health and encourages informed dialogue and innovation in the sector. #ArtificialIntelligence #PublicHealth #Innovation #AIinHealthcare

I'm currently taking a research methods class (again...took one many years ago). It's been fascinating to see, when asked to pose research questions, how many of the students are interested in digital health. And they are posing good questions -- some of which are different from the usual. Which is good to consider when considering research questions! Can you think of a question related to this topic -- one that isn't in the mainstream focus -- that could be interesting to explore?

Director of The Medical Futurist Institute (Keynote Speaker, Researcher, Author & Futurist)
I read and analyze hundreds of news pieces and announcements about digital health and AI per week on average. I usually add context for the news articles I publish to aid in their understanding, but it got me thinking: How can I assist those whose job is not analyzing news but want to get an understanding of how to determine whether an article or press release matches the expectations of the future of digital health? So I came up with the "Digital Health Bingo"! If two of the six statements below are true for your announcement, article, or press release you are reading, then it is aligned with the direction digital health is moving. Simple, right?
