Abstract
The digital health market is a growing component of a global health market that consumes around 15% of global GDP. Digital transformation needs to cost-effectively support global health and health system sustainability. This chapter identifies key high-level entities with the authority and potential ability to drive and enable successful digital health ecosystems to be realised. This requires strong leadership, collaboration, and well-targeted investments to clearly differentiate roles and responsibilities, avoid fragmentation, build on existing knowledge and technological advances, and adopt and mandate a set of key standards to form part of a new high-level foundational infrastructure needed to optimally support digital health transformations to take place. Health systems globally need to have the necessary infrastructure to enable real-time disease monitoring, optimise primary healthcare and prevention support, and to have sufficient capacity to support early intervention, continuing research and development activities. These activities and significant cost reductions are dependent upon optimum data collection and processing.
