Outside the Digital Bubble: Digital Illiteracy is Common and Deserves More Attention When Implementing ehealth

While the COVID-19 pandemic has severed as a catalyst for a digital revolution in health care, relevant populations are now facing digital exclusion due to their low digital literacy. We use Eurostat data to identify citizen groups at risk of such exclusion, which include amongst others: the low educated, the economically inactive, and the elderly. We argue that without a tailored approach, the digital revolution in health care is likely to reinforce existing health inequalities between populations.
